Abstract :Electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ETAAS); was applied for the determination of chromium, nickel and vanadium in biological materials insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(earthworms, feather, lucerne);. Three different decomposition procedures of biological matrices are presented. The utilization of NH4H2PO4, Mginsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NO3);2 and Pdinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NO3);2+ Mginsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NO3);2 as chemical modifiers are investigated and compared. Optimal temperature conditions for the electrothermal determination of Cr, Ni and V are selected. Precision of the determination expressed as relative standard deviations for Cr, Ni and V varied from 6 to 22% . The detection limits are for Cr 8 \m g kg - 1, Ni 12 \m g kg - 1, and V 36 \m g kg- 1. The accuracy of the measured data were verified by determination of the studied elements in certified reference materials. The attained analytical results were in good agreement to each other by all applied methods, as well as to the certified values. Consequently, the method was applied to biological matrices: earthworms, feathers and lucerne which were sampled at the refinery immission site.
