Freedom from interference and matrix effects is the most important feature of atomic absorption spectroscopy. The photometer described here can be used on samples ranging from waters of low mineralization to brines and brackish waters without any complications arising from inter‐element interferences. Some anionic interferences can occur, especially if complexing ligands are present, but such effects can easily be minimized.
