To explore the influence factors on determining Tin concentration in air of workplaces with flame atomic absorption spectrometry and to establish an accurate, sensitive and high-efficient method. The different reagents were used to digest the sampling filter membranes and the determining conditions of flame atomic absorption spectrometry were adjusted, then the determining results were compared. When 3 ml hydrochloric acid and 0.5 ml nitric acid served as the digesting reagents and the determining conditions of flame atomic absorption spectrometry were adjusted to the best conditions, there was the good linearity in the tested concentration range of Tin, the correlation coefficient was larger than 0.9990. The limit of quantification was 1.0 p.g/ml. The extraction recovery was between 99.6%-102.6%, and the RSD were all less than 5.0%. The proper kinds and quantity of digestive reagents in pretreatment of the samples should be chosen for the accuracy and precision of the determination according to the influence factors of determination.
