    Atomic absorption spectroscopy is a quantitative analytical technique used to determine the concentration of chemical elements in a sample. It works by measuring the absorption of light by ground state atoms in a vapor phase. The technique can analyze over 62 elements and is sensitive enough to measure parts per billion of a gram in a sample. The key components of an atomic absorption spectroscopy instrument are a hollow cathode lamp, nebulizer, monochromator, and detector. The history of atomic absorption spectroscopy began with the atomic theory proposed by John Dalton and spectroscopic analysis of elements by Bunsen and Kirchhoff. It is now commonly used for clinical and environmental analysis.

    ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY


    INTRODUCTION
    Atomic absorption measures the amount of light at the resonant wavelength
    which is absorbed as it passes through in a cloud of atoms. As the number of atoms in
    the light path increases, the amount of light absorbed increases in a predictable way.
    The technique is used for determining the concentration of a particular element
    (analyte) in a sample to be analyzed. Atomic absorption is so sensitive that it can
    measure down to parts per billion of a gram in a sample.

    OBJECTIVES:
    1. To define what is Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS)
    2. To know the history of AAS
    3. To know the application of AAS

    WHAT IS ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY?


     Is a quantitative method of analysis that is applicable to many metals and a few
    non-metals.
     It also measures the concentration of metals in the sample.
     It quantifies the absorption of ground state atoms in the gaseous state.
     It can analyze over 62 elements.

    INSTRUMENTATION OF ATOMIC ABSORBTION SPECTROSCOPY


     HOLLOW CATHODE LAMP- a large voltage across anode & cathode causes
    the inert gas to ionize & form a plasma.

     NEBULISER- forms a mist or aerosol of the sample.

     MONOCHROMATOR- used to select the specific wavelength of light which is


    absorbed by the sample, and to exclude other wavelengths.

     DETECTOR- the light selected by the monochromator is directed into a


    photomultiplier tube, whose function is to convert the light signal into an electrical
    signal proportional to the light intensity.

    HISTORY OF ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY


     Atomic theory began with JOHN DALTON in the 18th century when he proposed
    the concept of atoms, that all atoms of an element are identical, and that atoms
    of different elements can combine to form molecules.
     ROBERT BUNSEN and GUSTAV KIRCHHOFF studied the sodium spectrum
    and came to the conclusion that every element has its own unique spectrum that
    can be used to identify elements in the vapor phase.
     The first atomic absorption spectrometer was presented by ALAN WALSH and
    co-workers in Melbourne in 1954.

    APPLICATION OF ATOMIC ABSORBTION SPECTROSCOPY


    CLINICAL ANALYSIS- analyzing metals in biological fluids such as blood and urine.

    ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS- monitoring our environment- e.g finding out the levels
    of various elements in rivers, seawater, drinking water, air, petrol, and drinks.
