DETERMINATION OF LEAD CONTENT IN PAINTS USING FLAME ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

Abstract

The article published the results of the analysis of lead content in paint by
flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (F-AAS). Results showed that the
method has good repeatability (RSD = 4.74%), low detection limit and
quantitative limits (LOD = 0.2157mg/l, LOQ = 0.718mg/l), linear range from
0 - 20 mg/l with linear calibration curve is y = 0.0211x + 0.0145 (R2 = 0.9961),
the recovery is 98.672%. The method has been applied to the analysis of lead
content in some paint samples on the market for good results.
