A review on the use of graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry for simultaneous multielement determination of metals at trace levels in different samples is described. The main parameters to be considered in multi-element analysis such as light sources, kind of graphite furnace tubes, time and temperature program, and composition and amount of modifier are summarized and discussed.
