Summary

FANES is an emission method, which in apparatus and in operational sequence resembles GFAAS. It was tested for application in analysis of river water and compared with GFAAS. The analysis of pure metal solutions shows accurate and precise results for both methods, but in contrast to GFAAS, the relative standard deviation for FANES increases to 12–45%, if different matrix components are added as in natural waters. It is necessary to improve the FANES method with regard to influences by matrix effects.
