Electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry methods with Zeeman effect background correction (Z-GFAAS) for determination of As, Sb, Se, Ag, Cd, Pb, Cu, Fe, Zn, Cr, and Ni in water and sludge samples were developed. The measurements using Z-GFAAS and variable magnetic field at the three-field dynamic mode permit the sensitivity adaptation for higher analytical concentrations. Calibration ranges were expanded over two orders of magnitude within one measurement run by the applying three-field dynamic mode of this correction system. There are presented calibration data, furnace programs, modifiers, and microwave digestion programs of the obviously monitored elements in the environmental samples. Very low detection limits (3 sigma criterion) were obtained. Quality assurance was checked by the suitable CRM. The study brings simultaneous determination of the samples with different element concentration range and different sample matrixes, as an important application information for an analyst working in the area of the eco-analytical research.
