Abstract
Examples of unique applications of the principles of emission spectroscopy to industrial hygiene problems are provided. A discussion of qualitative, semiquantitative and quantitative methods of spectrographic analysis is presented. These methods include representative applications which are made for the analysis of the metallic constituents of body tissues and fluids from human and animal subjects, industrial process materials, ores, and environmental dusts and fumes. Brief descriptions of sample preparation techniques required for successful analyses are also presented.
