Cadmium, lead, copper and manganese were determined in human deciduous teeth and bone ash 1400 standard reference material by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS), using a lanthanum + palladium + citric acid (CA) modifier mixture. Optimum masses and mass ratios of La, La+Pd and La+Pd+CA modifiers for analytes in bone ash 1400 sample solution were investigated. Pyrolysis and atomization temperatures of analytes in a tooth sample solution were obtained with and without modifiers. The mixture of La+Pd+CA was found to be preferable for the determination of analytes in tooth samples and bone ash 1400, dissolved in a mixture of HNO3+H2O2. The detection limits and characteristic masses of analytes were obtained with or without modifiers based on integrated absorbance for tooth sample solution (2% m/v). The detection limits obtained with La+Pd+CA are 6,24,16 and 46 ng g(-1) for Cd, Cu, Mn and Pb, respectively. Recovery tests for analytes in bone ash 1400 and a tooth solution with La and La+Pd+CA modifier mixture were studied and compared with certified and non certified values. The La+Pd+CA mixture was also applied to the determination of Cd, Pb, Cu and Mn in tooth samples.
