Abstract | The report gives results of an extensive literature review and evaluation of spark source mass spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry, and direct current plasma emission spectrometry. The goal of the study was to determine if the techniques are capable of providing comprehensive elemental screening of environmental samples and, if so, the limitations to be expected. Sample preparation, introduction, identification, and quantitation procedures were evaluated to gain an understanding of the elemental coverage and data quality to be expected using each technique. |
