Features: Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is one of the mass spectrometry analytical methods. Due to its high detection sensitivity, it is primarily used for trace analysis, such as the analysis of trace elements in animal and plant tissues, food, geological samples, water, and environmental samples. This book introduces the origin, development, and basic concepts of ICP-MS technology. Combined with numerous analytical examples from the authors' ICP-MS demonstration laboratory, it focuses on the applications of ICP-MS in water quality analysis, soil and sediment, atmospheric particulate matter, traditional Chinese medicine and food analysis, forensic science, and the semiconductor industry, including high-purity reagents, high-purity materials, geological samples, and isotope analysis. It also explains various interferences in ICP-MS (including polyatomic ion interference) and their elimination. This book fully reflects the current state of ICP-MS research and application in China and is highly practical. It is suitable for technical personnel in fields such as chemical engineering, geology, environment, medicine, and biology who use ICP-MS for analysis and research. It can also serve as a reference for university students and teachers in life sciences and analytical chemistry. The book introduces the origin, development, and basic concepts of ICP-MS technology, focusing on its applications in water quality analysis, soil and sediment, atmospheric particulate matter, traditional Chinese medicine and food analysis, and forensic science.
