Abstract
Thermal lens spectrometry was compared to spectrometry of the diphenylcarbazide chromophore and to atomic absorption spectrometry for the quantification of hexavalent chromium after extraction from CCA-treated building timbers with sodium carbonate-sodium hydroxide solution. Agreement among the results indicates that thermal lens spectrometry is applicable to the quantification of hexavalent chromium in this matrix.
