The objective of this review is to note recent novel developments and applications rather than to be comprehensive. We intend to explore instrumental advances that demonstrate enhanced analytical capability. Along these same lines, there have been a number of recent papers coupling solid phase microextraction with GC-ICPMS and these will be discussed. Not only does this preparation technique present several advantages, such as environmental friendliness through reduced solvent consumption, it also lends itself to easy incorporation into a GC analytical scheme. Finally, new explorations in the analysis of the traditional metal species, as well as novel applications of species of nontraditional elements, are presented.
