Selenium was determined in nickel and steel alloys by hydride generation in combination with both atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) (heated quartz tube) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).A serious depression of the Se signal was observed when AAS was used for the determination, although the interference from Ni, Co, Cr, Fe and Cu was effectively masked with complexing agents. The depression was reduced when ICP-AES was used instead of AAS, indicating a gaseous phase interference.The interference may be caused by the presence of hydrides of Sn and As. For the determination of Se in nickel alloys and low-alloy steels, the detection limit was lowered by a factor 1.5-3 when ICP-AES was used instead of AAS. Several standard reference materials (nickel alloys and low-alloy steels) were analysed for Se.

The effects of aluminium on plant nutrition in small birch plants (Betula pendula Roth) were investigated. By using relative addition rate (r A, g g-1 d-1) of nutrients as the growth-controlling variable, it was possible to grow the plants at very low external nutrient concentrations and to simulate plant requirements at two different fertility levels.Before aluminium addition the plants were at steady-state relative growth rate, (R G, g g-1 d-1). The two addition rates were free access of nutrients with RG 0.215 d-1, or nutrient-limited, RA and R G= 0.10 d-1.Internal concentrations of calcium and magnesium decreased with increasing Al3 conncentration in the nutrient solution while nitrogen concentrations in the plants remained unchanged or increased. It was demonstrated in both nutrition treatments that calcium and magnesium decrease per se does not reduce plant growth and that uptake has to be considered in relation to plant requirement at different growth rates. The interpretation of the effects of aluminium on Ca and Mg uptake and plant biomass development suggested that processes other than disturbances in Ca and Mg uptake are the cause of the decrease in growth.
