Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is widely used for analysis of environmental samples via methods EPA methods 6020 and 200.8. Although the instrumentation has evolved substantially from the first introduction of these methods, there are still samples types that can pose unique challenges during analysis.
In the environment, mercury is found in both inorganic forms (such as elemental mercury and ionic mercury) and various organic compounds and complexes. Methylmercury (MeHg), the predominant organic form present in the environment, can bioaccumulate up the food chain in aquatic systems which leads to high concentrations of MeHg in predatory fish.
Mercury is widespread and persistent in the environment due to its use in many products and its emission from combustion processes. Due to the tendency of mercury to bioaccumulate in the environment, extremely low concentrations can have a large impact.
Arsenic and selenium are naturally occurring contaminants who naturally exist in an array of different forms. The different forms of these contaminants (often referred to as species) behave very differently in the environment, thus these is a need to understand the distributions of these species in the environment to properly assess these contaminants’ risk and impact.
