Event Overview:

Environmental monitoring is crucial to preserve our environment for the well-being of our current and future generations. This includes the analysis of samples like water and soil for contaminants to assess their quality and direct remedial actions. Monitoring industrial sites for harmful emissions to the atmosphere, surrounding soil, and wastewater is as important as drinking water and domestic wastewater analysis as part of environmental protection.

A wide range of analytical parameters are regulated by authorities like the US EPA, and therefore commonly analyzed. These parameters include toxic metals like Lead, Cadmium, or Mercury, but also sum parameters like Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and organic halides (AOX/TOX). Anions like nitrate or phosphate primarily play a role in drinking and wastewater analysis.

A comprehensive portfolio of analytical technologies for these different parameters will be discussed with regard to challenges and their solutions in routine environmental analysis, and application examples will be presented to highlight advantages in sample throughput, detection sensitivity, and operating cost.


Key Learning Objectives:

  • Understand different methods for environmental analysis.
  • Learn how to choose the right technique for specific applications.
  • Understand analytical performance criteria for successful environmental analysis.

Who Should Attend:

  • Professionals in the Environmental Analysis sector
  • Lab managers and analysts in environmental laboratories
  • Professionals involved in environmental regulation

Atomic spectroscopy has quietly gone from counting elements in bulk to counting single nanoparticles, imaging tissue at the micrometer scale, and reading Martian rocks from several meters away. The instruments got smaller, the software got smarter, and the questions they can now answer got a lot more interesting.
Spectroscopy Top 10 DOI Articles of the Month (September 2026)
The following articles are the most accessed digital object identifier (DOI) manuscripts for Spectroscopy and LCGC International during the month of September 2026. Nine articles are individually ranked here by DOI page views; the third-highest entry (186 views) was recorded against the bare journal-level DOI rather than an individual article and is therefore not attributable to a single manuscript.
