Abstract
Atomic absorption technique was projected in 1955 by Allan Walsh, he was the pioneer for the initiation the use of the atomic absorption spectra for chemical analysis, considered one of the best techniques among the analytical methods, extensively applied in the quantitative studies of metals, human fluids such as blood serum, industrial and petroleum products, motor oils, toxic and pollution elements from several samples, considered excellent for their high precision. In the current review we include a relevant information about the applications and utility of the atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) technique, in order to offer the wide possibilities available for select the method, mainly for their precision when quantified elements for a great goals, basic, environmental contaminant, toxically, certificate references samples, foods safety. The AAS technique bases their principles by using as light source a hollow cathode lamp which emits light of a wide wavelength for cover the wide of elements content in a solution, which are heated and quantified using the absorption value according its concentration. Principle of the AAS method is supported because the atomized elements absorb energy of a specific wavelength for each element. Great number of gaseous metal atoms will normally remain in the ground state, in these conditions. These have the capacity of absorbing radiant energy of their own specific resonance of wavelength, which passed through a flame containing atoms, and part of the light be absorbed. The absorbed extent will be proportional to the number of ground state atoms in the flame, method is extremely confinable because their precision desirable for chemical analyses, taking the periodical table of elements as reference, being the main preferable for the researches for multiple purposes but applications of the technique can be summarized in several topic biological analysis, environmental and marine analysis indicators, and geological analysis.
