Sažetak

The limits of detection in r.f.CCP-AES were 2 (Cu), 6 (Mn) and 3 (Zn) pg g_1. Statistic evaluation of the results was based on 31 samples collected in the basin of the Cris rivers, Romania. After removing the samples with a metal concentration lower than the limit of determination in TRT r.f.CCP-AES, the F-test (95% confidence level) showed similar precision in the two methods, with one exception in the case of Mn and one in the case of Zn. From 21, 28 and 31 determinations of Cu, Mn and Zn, statistical correlation and regression as well as the analysis of Bland and Altman (95% confidence level) showed systematic errors in TRT r.f.CCP-AES versus FAAS only in one case for Cu, two cases for Mn and one case for Zn. The metal content amounted to: 10-400 pg g-1 (Cu), 20-16000 pg g-1 (Mn) and 20-1200 pg g-1 (Zn).
