Description

Though trace elements, often metals, are present only in minute quantities, they still may have toxic effects or impair the properties of industrial materials. Therefore trace element analysis is of vital importance in environmental and materials science, pharmacology, medicine and the food industry. This text covering trace element determination is not restricted to one analytical method but rather describes the main features of all the important methods and thus enables the reader to find the optimal solution to his/her own analytical problem. Specialists discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
