Abstract
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with a flow injection system has been used to determine platinum in airborne particulate matter. The flow injection system had a cation-exchange resin column on-line for trapping major matrix elements and hafnium, which caused suppression of the signal intensity of platinum and a spectral interference by hafnium oxide, respectively. As this method does not require special sample pre-treatment before injection into the ICP-MS instrument, it was considered to be a very practical method. The detection limit was about 0.1 µg l–1 of platinum in a sample solution or 0.005 µg g–1 in airborne particulate matter. The method was applied to several airborne particulate matter samples. The observed concentrations were in the range 0.014–0.184 µg g–1.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
