| Abstract: | Calcified tissues are good indicators of exposure to environmental pollution since the mineral phase incorporates heavy metals to which it is exposed during development. Analysis of these specimens is difficult due to the low concentration of the elements of interest compared with the high concentration of the matrix elements. ICP-MS allows rapid multielement determination of samples and a method for the determination of trace elements in calcified tissues is presented with reference to an SRM of Bone Ash (NIST 1400).
