Abstract

Fly ash of a waste incineration facility in Berlin, Germany has been found to be a very useful multielement reference material. It can be used for a large number of matrices to be analyzed. It has served as a reference material particularly for environmental multielement analyses. Components which have been recognized as environmental pollutants are present in higher concentration levels than in any other multielement reference material commercially available.
