Description

Six earthworm samples and Chinese human hair standard material (GBW 09101) were analyzed with INAA and ICP-MS in parallel for the element concentrations of As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Hg, Rb, Sb, Se and Zn. A comparison of analytical results between INAA and ICP-MS was discussed. In general, a good agreement between two techniques was obtained, the relative deviations for most elements are within +-20%
