Application of Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry in Forensic Science

Abstract

ICP-AES was applied to the determination of trace amounts of toxic elements in animal tissues, and also a large number of trace elements in bullet lead and silver. The analysis of these materials is important in forensic science applications.
