Abstract

Mn, Zn and Al concentrations of ume, sakura and sugi stems determined by ICP-MS using a simple pretreatment were compared with those determined by INAA. We obtained a considerably good agreement between the two methods. ICP-MS using simple pretreatment was found to be useful in analyzing the elements in tree stems.
