RESUMO

In the present work, a new analytical methodology was developed to determine Pb in blood using molecular spectrophotometry. The method uses 2-(5-bromo-2-piridylazo)-5-dietylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP) as a chelating agent. The content of the final measuring solution is the following: 5-Br-PADAP 1.2x10-4 M; ethylic alcohol 50 % in volume; Triton X-100 0.15 %; nitric acid 0.5 M and ammonium hydroxide 0.5 M. The spectrophotometric measurements were carried out in 575 nm, with a slit of 1 nm and using an optical length of 1 cm. A preliminary elimination of metal interferences was obtained using a strongly basic quaternary anionic resin (AG1-X8, 200-400 mesh) with a mixture of 90 % methanol and 10 % v/v 5 N nitric acid, in a 3 cm long column with internal diameter of 0.5 cm. The flux of elution of metal interferences was 0.5-0.6 mL/min and 0.2 mL/min for lead, with 1 N nitric acid. The analytical characteristics of the methodology are: quantification limit (Q.L.) in 500 L of blood sample, 112 ppb; precision at Q.L. level; 3 ppb; accuracy at 250 ppb 96.5 %, thus enabling a wide application to epidemiological studies in populations and professional exposure control.
