An approach to the natural and engineered nanoparticles analysis in the environment by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

摘要: Abstract Different approaches to the most relevant and recent studies applications of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) applied analysis natural engineered nanoparticles in environment are described. Usually several separation methods like polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), field-flow fractionation (FFF) size exclusion chromatography (SEC) used prior spectrometric measurements. In many cases use these hyphenated techniques provides important methodologies know bioavailability, mobility toxicity elements life environmental sciences. Alternatively, capabilities single particle detection by ICP-MS (SD-ICP-MS) for selective identification, characterization determination will be also discussed.
