The invention discloses a method for determining thallium content of an agricultural product by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The method comprises the steps of carrying out sample digestion, drawing a work curve, testing a sample, weighing 2-5g (accurately 0.001g) of samples, adding mixed acid of nitric acid and perchloric acid (4+1), carrying out wet digestion, wherein the mass concentration and the absorbancy of thallium have good linear relationship. According to the method, the related coefficient is as follows: r is equal to 0.9999; the detection limit (3s / k) is 0.066mg / kg; the degree of precision is tested as follows: the digestion of the sample is carried out by the test method, seven times of parallel test of the sample is implemented, the result shows that the relative standard deviation of the thallium content of the sample measured by the method is between 1.6%-3.2%; the recovery rate of the added thallium standard solution is 91.6%-95.5%. According to the method, the thallium content of the agricultural product can be measured accurately and rapidly, the precision is good, the accuracy is high, the application effect is good, and the method provides the reference for the formulation of the detection standard of the thallium content of the food in China.
