Abstract

The determination of trace cesium in aqueous solution by nonflame atomic fluorescence spectroscopy using dye laser excitation is reported. Using a nonflame atomization system and direct‐line fluorescence detection, the limit of detection was found to be 1.2 pg in a 20‐pg/ml sample solution.
