“…Although, there has been a lot of published work on the detection of metals with screen-printed electrodes using stripping analysis techniques [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22], apart from Akhtar et al [6] who described one for aluminium in soil solutions and Kadara et al [8] for copper in soil samples, there have not been any other reports on the application of screen-printed electrodes in connection with stripping analysis to complex matrices like polluted soils and sediments. The analysis of samples that have been carried out are exclusively for simple matrices like drinking [7,9,10,11,12,13], tap [13,14], river [15,16,17], channel [18], lake [19], pond [20,21], ground [21] and potable water [22].…”
