Abstract A rapid spectrographic method was developed to analyze seven elements collected in glass fiber air filters, they were Cd, Pb, Ni, Zn, Sn, Ti and V. Direct excitation method was used for volatile elements while graphite powder was added for determining involatile elements like titanium and vanadium in a dc arc source. Limits of detection for analyzed elements were between 0.01‐0.1. μg . This simple and sensitive method was employed to analyze samples from fifteen air sampling stations in different areas of Taiwan.
