Abstract

The use of a new Zeeman spectrometer with the electrostatic precipitation of aerosols in the graphite furnace of the atomizer for the direct and rapid determination of aerosols in the ambient air and in the air exhaled by human beings is presented. The results are given for the comparative determination of elements in laboratory air by electrostatic precipitation and with the filter accumulation of aerosols. A correlation is found between the concentration of Se in the exhaled air and its concentration in the examinee’s blood.
