Abstract
Both thermal and epithermal neutron activation analyses have been employed to determine chromium and nickel in lung tissue and arsenic in urine. Based on accuracy, precision, and detection limits, these techniques have been successfully used to analyze lung tissue from a deceased welder, who died, from cancer, and to paratake in an interlaboratory toxicological urine program.
