A simple and rapid method for the determination of lithium in whole bloodusing Flame atomic emission spectrometry is described. No sample preparationwas required apart from dilution with 0.02 N HNO3. The reliability of themethod was determined by analyzing Standard Reference Material (SRM) underidentical experimental conditions and comparing the determined lithiumconcentration with the reported value. These were in good agreement witheach other. The determined range of lithium in the whole blood of fifty-sixhealthy adult volunteers (28 males and 28 females) was 13.1 - 47.8 mug L-1.The determined average concentration of lithium in whole blood was comparedwith the reported values of other countries. The data was statisticallyanalyzed with respect to sex and different age groups.
