The early literatures reported that a lot of matrix interference were encounted in the determination of lead content in various samples. Chlorides produced serious interference on analysis of lead content. All acids except phosphoric acid reduced sensitivity of determination of Pb. Hinderberger et al.reported that lead was determined without the interference could be removed by using NH4H2PO4 as matrix modifier in L’vov platform atomization. The combination of pyrolytic graphite tube with solid pyrolytic graphite platform and Zeeman background correction technique was used in our experiments for determination of lead content in rice samples, with 0.1% Mg(NO_3)_2 and 2% NH_4H_2PO_4 as matrix modifier.
