Question
10. A fish kill was reported in a river near a manufacturing plant. The Lead levels were
tested in pooled tissue samples from Site A and Site B. Answer the following:
a. What should be the appropriate spectroscopic technique to check the Lead content?
b. Make a calibration curve. Calculate the actual concentration of the standards and %
recovery.
c. Calculate the Lead concentration and determine if the values are lethal or not.
