The atomic absorption unit is one of the most important units of the central laboratory, as it evaluates all elements, especially heavy ones such as mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and lead, in all types of water such as drinking water, sewage and industrial wastewater, as well as in the tissues of living organisms such as fish and other marine aquatic organisms, using the absorption device. The unit has been re-accredited for the determination of some heavy elements of drinking water in accordance with the requirements of the international standard ISO/IEC -17025:2017.
