Abstract
The analysis of soils using emission spectrometry, X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry, spark source mass spectrometry and neutron activation analysis is discussed. The problems involved in the dissolution of soils for analysis in solution form are reviewed and some results obtained using atomic absorption spectrophotometry following different dissolution procedures presented. Recent developments in the use of inductively coupled plasma sources for the analysis of soils and soil extracts are briefly reviewed.
