Summary:The application of atomic spectrometry to the analysis of environmental samples is reviewed. The review is divided into 4 sections covering the analysis of air, water, geological materials and soils, plants and related materials. The emphasis is on the development of reliable and robust methodology. Sample preparation is a particular focus, the most common methods in development being dissolution/decomposition, separation and preconcentration and solvent extraction. Analytical techniques, together with sample treatment methods for many trace elements in a wide variety of matrices are summarized in 4 tables. The need for simple, low cost techniques and reliable data is highlighted. There are 813 references.
