Method for measuring Nitrate and Nitrite contents

English translation:Auto Analyzer
Explanation:
Auto Analyzer (AA) is probably the method which have been used in several of your examples, not Atomic Absorption Spectography (AAS). There is even a Kjeltec Auto Analyzer (after Kjeldahl, TKN). I have no clue as to what the H stands for, and I guess I wouldn't be able to find out without reading the whole paper :o)

Here is a quote to illustrate what an Auto Analyzer is:

"....will use this system for analyzing KCI extracts of soils for nitrate+nitrite, ammonia, orthophosphate, chloride, silicate, sulfate, total phosphorus and TKN."

Another Chemical Formula


Explanation:
It's another chemical formula of some sort, which I'm quite sure would be the same in English (except it might be NO2.3-AA-H).

Have you got any sentences that all these abbreviations are occurring in? It might make it a little easier to know for sure what's going on with them.

Thanks for the additional context, Paul. I still think it\'s a chemical formula, and abbreviations for chemical elements tend to be the same across all languages (insofar as I know, anyway).
