【 摘 要 】

This work proposesa simple, fast and inexpensive method to determine As in natural waters, usingX-ray fluorescence. 50 µL of each sample containing 100 mg L-1of yttrium as internal standard were deposited over a 2.5 µm thicknessMylarTM film. The samples were dried at 50 °C for 2 h. X-rayspectra were obtained using an EDXRF apparatus. The accuracy was determinedby analyte addition/recovery and by comparison with Hydride Generation AtomicAbsorption Spectrometry (HG AAS). A recovery of about 100% was obtained andthe results were in good agreement with HG AAS. The method showed a relativestandard deviation of 6.8% and a detection limit of 10.5 µg L-1of As.
