Abstract
An atomic absorption method for the direct determination of metals in mammalian tissues has been developed. The procedure, which involves digestion of the sample with a quaternary ammonium hydroxide, allows one to measure metals normally present in low concentrations, such as cadmium and nickel, with a great degree of sensitivity and a minimal amount of sample handling.Keywords
