Abstract
Alkaline extraction followed by atomic absorption spectrometry was applied to the speciation and quantification of chromium in CCA‐treated building timbers. Total chromium was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry of specimens prepared by acid digestion. The specimens examined were found to contain 0.3 ‐ 0.4 % total chromium, and < 100 mg/kg of hexavalent chromium.
