Quantitative determination of heavy metals in water using ICP-MS

Abstract

This research article investigates the application of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for the quantitative determination of heavy metals in water samples. The study focuses on optimizing sample preparation techniques, assessing the analytical performance of ICP-MS, and evaluating its effectiveness in detecting trace levels of heavy metals such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As). Our results demonstrate the high sensitivity, precision, and accuracy of ICP-MS, making it a reliable tool for environmental monitoring and ensuring water quality.
