Abstract Standard addition method and S1AI1CPIMS technique were used for the detennination ofPb, Cd and Ag in wastewater samples collected from Riyadh industrial area 11.Recovery of the added elements was 95-97% and percentage relative standard deviation values were less than 3% in all cases. The concentration of 14.6 and 34.4 J.1g PblL, 2.5 and 5.4 J.1g CdIL and 2.1 and 3.8 J.1gAgIL in raw and reused wastewater samples were determined, respectively. The results were compared to international allowable concentrations of trace elements in water and found to be within acceptable levels. Key Words: Wastewater, S1AI1CPIMS, Pb, Cd, Ag.
