Its too bad that there is so much boron in desert sands as it would be an ideal lie detector. You'd know about bore-on, wouldn't you?

E-Charters, as to why ICP sometimes fails with the refratory precious one, here I can give you a rational answer, it has to do with the entahlpy of vaporization, until all the gold evaporates, the pltinum does not start, until all the pt evaporates the Rh does not and so on. If the ICO stays on too short of a time only the high vapor pressure evaporate. The russians have published an interesting story on the time dependence of the spectrum from an ICP (often you lose the electrodes before you get to the real refractory one). Hope that straighten this one. Zeev
