A simple and reproducible analytical method for determination of Antimony trioxide (ATO) is
proposed, atomic absorption method was used. A simple quantitive extraction method is also
proposed to extract ATO from textile backcoated sample. The proposed method is applied to
determine the ATO in two different type of backcoated textile; type A contains ATO/
Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) and type B contains ATO/ Decabrodiphynl Ether (DBDE). A
complete validation method for both extraction and analytical method is discussed. Linear
calibration curve in range of 5 to 220 ng with detection limit of 5 ng
