Atomic fluorescence is a spectroscopic process which is based upon the absorption of radiation of a certain wavelength by an atomic vapor and subsequent radiational deactivation of the excited atoms toward the detection device. Both the absorption and the subsequent atomic emission processes occur at wavelengths which are characteristic of the atomic species present. Atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (AFS) is a very sensitive and selective method for the determination of a number of environmentally and biomedically important elements such as mercury, arsenic, selenium, bismuth, antimony, tellurium, lead, and cadmium. This technique has become one of the most important analytical tools for trace element analysis in environmental samples, such as mercury, owing to its advantages over other methods in terms of linearity and detection levels. Several books and a number of book chapters and review articles have been published dealing with the theory and instrumentation of AFS. This article will provide up‐to‐date AFS information regarding its application in environmental analysis.

Atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS) is a highly sensitive, highly selective technique for analysis of some elements, and it has found extensive applications in environmental analysis. This article presents an overview of the theoretical principles and instrumentation design of atomic fluorescence, followed by demonstrations of AFS, stand alone or coupled with other instruments, application in environmental analysis. For analysis of mercury, for which cold vapor generation can be simply and efficiently used as atomization method, and hydride‐forming elements (e.g. arsenic and selenium), for which gaseous hydrides can be easily produced and volatilized, facilitating the separation and enrichment of the analytes, AFS is a particularly useful technique, including speciation analysis of these elements by coupling AFS detection to chromatography separation.
