ABSTRACT
A simple, total decomposition method for lead and other metals in paint has been developed. Complete decomposition is achieved through a combination of reagents over several digestive steps in a microwave oven. Results of analysis of several NIST paint SRMs show excellent recoveries ranging from 85.5 to 111%. Additionally, recoveries of a number of trace elements for two soil and one dust NIST SRM were also excellent.
