“…From a methodological point of view, practically all that was discussed in the review mentioned before 21 holds true. The technique has shown potential to analyze very different types of materials, from some that could be considered as relatively easy for graphite furnace decomposition, such as polymers, biological materials or pharmaceuticals, to others that are quite refractory and, also, very difficult to bring into solution quantitatively, such as automobile catalysts, 24 fertilizers, 25 high-purity silicon 26 or silicon carbide, 27 in addition to many types of environmental samples.…”
