Inductively Coupled Plasmas in Analytical Atomic Spectrometry

This book provides the broadest available source of information on inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectrometry for elemental analysis. It discusses concisely and lucidly important aspects of ICP-atomic emission, ICP-atomic fluorescence, and ICP-mass spectrometries. It also documents the theory, principles, diagnostics, instrumentation, performance, and analytical applications of ICP spectrometry. The authors have used a tutorial style of writing in the introductory part of each chapter to guide new ICP users into unfamiliar subjects. They have also included critical reviews and discussion of the latest developments, a bibliography for each chapter, and comprehensive references.
