It has been reported that the differential determination of arsenic [36-41] and also antimony [42,43] is possible by hydride generation-atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The HGA-AS is a simple and sensitive method for the determination of elements which form gaseous hydrides [35,44-47] and mg/1 levels of these elements can be determined with high precision by this method. This technique has also been applied to analyses of various samples, utilising automated methods [48-50] and combining various kinds of detection methods, such as gas chromatography [51], atomic fluorescence spectrometry [52,53], and inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry [47]. 

Techniques for analysis of different mercury species in biological samples and abiotic materials include atomic absorption, cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometry, gas-liquid chromatography with electron capture detection, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (Lansens etal. 1991 Schintu etal. 1992 Porcella etal. 1995). Methylmercury concentrations in marine biological tissues are detected at concentrations as low as 10 pg Hg/kg tissue using graphite furnace sample preparation techniques and atomic absorption spectrometry (Schintu et al. 1992).

A number of techniques have been used for the speciation of arsenic compounds. The most important has been the formation of volatile hydrides of several species, separation by gas chromatography and detection by AAS. HPLC has been used to separate arsenic species. Several types of detectors have been studied for the determination of arsenic species in the column effluent. These have included AAS both off- and on-line, ICPAES and ICP-MS. An important comparative study of coupled chromatography-atomic spectrometry methods for the determination of arsenic was published (Ebdon et al., 1988). Both GC and HPLC were used as separative methods, and the detectors were FAAS, flame atomic fluorescence spectrometry (FAFS) and ICPAES. The conclusions were (1) that hydride generation and cryogenic trapping with GC-FAAS was the most... 

Fluorescence spectrometry is used in both research and surveillance to help assure both the farmer and the consumer a continued bounty of high quality agricultural products while preserving the quality of the environment. My objective is to discuss some of our current research and to share with you several interesting observations where we have used fluorescence as a monitor in high performance liquid chromatography.

The theory of rotation effects on prolate luminescent molecules in solution and its experimental verification have been developed and compared. Generalized diffusion equations for the rotational motion of an asymmetric rigid motor have been used to given an expression for steady-state fluorescence depolarization. " The radiationless transition from the first excited singlet state of Eosin has been measured by optoacoustic relaxation, and the absolute fluorescence quantum yields of organic dyes in poly(vinyl alcohol) have also been measured by the photoacoustic method. The accuracy of the method has been discussed in the latter paper. Actinometry in flash photolysis experiments has been assisted by new measurements on the extinction coefficient of triplet benzophenone. Matrix-isolation fluorescence spectrometry has been used to detect polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from gas chromatography. ...
