The paper presents results of the investigation of SM5Ti3Nb2 steel carbide isolates. The acids and acid mixtures for dissolution of selected carbides phase isolates, using microwave technique were specified. This way of dissolution of carbide isolates reduced the time of mineralization to about 10-15 minutes. Presented methods of dissolution can be applied in the chemical analysis of carbide isolates, using atomic absorption spectrometry and optical emission spectrometry inductively coupled plasma. It is indicated the acids, using to removal of noncarbide metallic residue in isolates.

The importance of arsenic (As) quantification in environmental compartments is due to its risks to ecosystems and public health. There are reports of high concentrations of this metalloid in Brazil and technological differences between states are observed. The objective of this work was to present and discuss current scenarios of accreditation and compare the limit of quantification (LOQ) of As by analytical technique in Brazil. Data from accredited laboratories were collected on Inmetro website and in state metrological networks and then grouped and analyzed by state, matrix and analytical technique. There are large discrepancies between the number of laboratories per state and a good correlation with gross domestic product (GDP). Almost all laboratories have a LOQ less than the environmental limits. The observed list of techniques sorted from lowest to highest LOQ values is: for liquid samples ICP MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry), ET AAS (electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry), HG AAS (hydride generation combined with atomic absorption spectrometry) or HG ICP OES (hydride generation combined with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry) and UV VIS (visible ultraviolet spectroscopy); for solids samples HG ICP OES, ICP MS, HG AAS, ET AAS and FAAS (flame atomic absorption spectrometry); and for bioindicators ICP MS, HG ICP OES. Analysis of As species is accredited in only one laboratory, but does not include all species.

The metal contents of 19 tea leave samples, Camellia sinensis L., from Yen Bai and Tuyen Quang provinces were determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Total 18 elements in tea leaves were determined including macroelement such as Al, Ca, K, Mg, Mn; trace element such as Na, Ba, Fe, Cu, Sn, Zn, Se, Ni, B and heavy metal (Pb, Hg, Cd and metalloid As). The results show that, K content was the highest among the macroelement, followed by Mg, Ca, Mn and Al. There was a wide variation of the trace metal content among the tea leaves coming from different province. The levels of heavy metal content in most of the samples were not detectable or below the acceptable level as required by Ministry of Health.
