Abstract
The determination of several trace elements, including calcium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, magnesium, silver, and zinc in an extremely volatile matrix was performed by ICP-OES. Triclorotrifluoroethane was used as the primary solvent due to its similarity to the inhaled anesthetic agents, with high volatility and low combustibility. The parameters discussed allowed for a correlation coefficient of each calibration curve for the elements determined to be within the range of 0.99-1.0. Good recovery of spiked samples was obtained, allowing for the determination of elements within a volatile matrix.
