Advances in Environmental Analysis for Today's Spectroscopists

In this paper, a one-time digestion method for the determination of arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), selenium (Se), and mercury (Hg) in geological samples was established.

In this review article, the editors of Spectroscopy break down the most recent research and trends using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

A complex fluorescence method utilizing the Sn(II)-salicylfluorescein (SAF)-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB) system demonstrated effective detection of Sn(II) with a linear relationship between its concentration and fluorescence intensity, along with successful application in various sample matrices with high recovery rates.

In this peer-reviewed article, the research team presents a kinetic fluorescence method suitable for the determination of trace Ni(II) in water samples.

Miri Park of the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety, and Energy Technologies is examining how Raman spectroscopy could aid non-destructive sensing in agricultural science. Recently, Park sat down with Spectroscopy to discuss micro-Raman spectroscopy's role in assessing crop quality, particularly secondary metabolites, across different contexts (in vitro, in vivo, and in situ), while suggesting future research for broader application possibilities.
