Determination of Trace Elements of Some Textiles by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Abstract

Abstract The trace heavy metal contents of twenty four textile samples produced in Turkey have been determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) after separation/preconcentration procedures including solid phase extraction and coprecipitation. The levels of the investigated ions in textile material were found to be below the values given by Oeko-Tex with some exceptions for lead and nickel for baby clothing.
