ABSTRACT
This paper presents a comparative description of different methods of determination of arsenic, antimony
and selenium: spectrophotometric, electro-analytical (voltamperometry), activation analysis, atomic
fluorescence and the methods of inductive or microwave-induced plasma in combination with different
detection methods (emission or mass spectrometry). The description is based on literature data illustrating
the present state of the metalloid determinations in different matrices. The limits of determination ensured
by different methods are also compared. Much attention has been paid to methods combining chromatographic
separation with selective detection, especially with the application of plasma generation methods
(usually ICP-MS).
