Introduction Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) is an analytical equipment commonly used for the detection of heavy metals in particular sample. The first step to analysis in the AAS is the atomization of the desired element by converting it to a gaseous state. The atoms then absorb the energy emitted from the hollow cathode lamp corresponding to the desired element and a detector reads the signal and records the results. The results may be used quantitatively or qualitatively depending on the

In 1945‚ when the atomic bomb was dropped in Japan I felt that it was not justified. Even though it saved thousands of American lives it was at the cost of others lives. The United States could have gave the Japanese a warning before dropping not one‚ but two bombs on them.
