  • Title: Determination of cadmium in the livers and kidneys of puffins by carbon furnace atomic absorption spectrometry.
    Author: Ottaway JM, Campbell WC.
    Journal: Int J Environ Anal Chem; 1976; 4(3):233-9. PubMed ID: 1030692.
    Abstract:
    A carbon furnace atomic absorption procedure is described for the determination of cadmium in the livers and kidneys of puffins, fratercula arctica. Samples are dried and weighed and 2 to 100 mg are dissolved in sulphuric and nitric acids. These solutions are analysed directly in the carbon furnace against aqueous standards and provide accurate results in the range 0-1 to 100 micrograms/g dry weight. The method is simple and rapid and requires much less of the small total sample than would be required for flame atomic absorption.
