Abstract:
ICP-MS is a used for the determination of trace element concentrations in various samples, which may include complex matrices. This is particularly true for environmental monitoring, with standards to ensure that water, wastewater, soils, etc. only contain limited elemental contaminants. One example is EPA Method 6020B, which governs the analysis of soils, solid waste, and wastewaters.
Here, we provide an overview of developments in ICP-MS, providing an unmatched ability to tackle complex samples in terms of matrix and interferences. We will show how %-levels of TDS can be handled effectively and requirements of EPA 6020B can be met.
