Heavy Metals

Analytical Testing and Analysis of Heavy Metals

Heavy metals are present in nearly all aspects of modern life. Some common uses of heavy metals depend on the characteristics of the specific element, such as their biological role as nutrients or poisons. Since the dawn of the industrial revolution and with advanced agricultural processes, heavy metal contamination has become a prime environmental concern that threatens plants, animals and human health. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is commonly used for elemental analysis and can detect different heavy metals at trace amounts with high sensitivity.
