Antimony in soils and sediments

M. J. Cal-Prieto, A. Carlosena, J. M. Andrade, S. Muniategui, P. Lopez-Mahia and D. Prada, Study of chemical modifiers for the direct determination of antimony in soils and sediments by ultrasonic slurry sampling-ETAAS with D2 compensation, At. Spectrosc., 21(3), 2000, 93-99. 

This book is rooted in an informal discussion with three researchers. Dr Alatzne Carlosena, Dr Monica Felipe and Dr Maria Jesus Cal, after they had some problems measuring antimony in soils and sediments by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. While we reviewed the results and debated possible problems, much like in a brainstorming session, I realized that some of their difficulties were highly similar to those found in molecular spectrometry (mid-IR spectroscopy, where I had some experience), namely a lack of peak reproducibility, noise, uncontrollable amounts of concomitants, possible matrix interferences, etc.
