Heavy metals (Cadmium, Mercury, Zinc, Chrome, Copper, Iron, Nickel, Manganese, Lead)
Heavy metals such as Cadmium and Mercury are mainly known for their toxicity, especially for target organs like kidneys, while other elements like Chrome are known to be carcinogenic.
Determining the presence and concentration of these elements is therefore critical to assess the safety of drinking water.
By means of ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy) we can reliably extract and detect these elements in various media such as drinking water, waste water or soil.
