The first edition of Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry andits Applications was written as a handbook for users who wanted abetter understanding of the theory augmented by a practical insightof how best to approach a range of applications, and to provide auseful starting point for users trying an approach or technique newto them. These objectives have been retained in the second editionbut a slight shift in emphasis gives the volume an overallperspective that is more forward looking. Structured into 11 chapters, the current edition is a thoroughrevision of the original, covering the principles of inductivelycoupled plasmas, instrumentation, methodology and applicationswithin environmental analysis, earth science, food science andclinical medicine. Each chapter, written by internationallyrecognised leaders in their specific subject areas, provides enoughdetail to be useful to both the new and experienced users. Fullaccount is taken of recent developments, such as high resolutioninstruments, novel detection systems and electrospraytechniques. Written for all analytical scientists but particularly thoseinvolved in atomic spectroscopy and in environmental, geochemical,clinical or food analysis, this timely and informative book will bean essential reference in their use of inductively coupled plasmasto achieve their own scientific goals.

The first edition of our Handbook was written in 1983. In the preface to the first edition we noted the rapid development of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and its considerable potential for elemental analysis. The intervening five years have seen a substantial growth in ICP applications; much has happened and this is an appropriate time to present a revised edition. The basic approach of the book remains the same. This is a handbook, addressed to the user of the technique who seeks direct, practical advice. A concise summary of the technique is attempted. Detailed, theoretical treatment of the background to the method is not covered. We have, however, thoroughly revised much of the text, and new chapters have been added. These reflect the changes and progress in recent years. We are grateful to Mr Stephen Walton, Dr Gwendy Hall and London and Scandinavian Metallurgical Co. Ltd for their contributions. Chapter 3 (Instrumentation) has been rewritten by Mr Walton, the new Chapter on ICP-mass spectrometry has been written by Dr Hall, and London and Scandinavian provided much of the information for the chapter on metals analysis by ICP-AES. These chapters have been integrated into the book, and a conscious effort has been made to retain the unity of style within the book. New material has been added elsewhere in the book, archaeological materials are considered, pre concentration methods and chemometrics covered more fully.

The understanding of the principles of ICP-MS and its application as an analytical technique is continually evolving and this book provides a unique snapshot of the current state-of-the-art. Plasma Source Mass Spectrometry: The New Millennium covers a diverse range of topics including the fate of the sample as it passes through the sample introduction system, chemical resolution using reaction and collision cells, various methods of mass analysis, approaches to account for spectral interferences, hyphenation methods to enable speciation, and the results of analyses ranging from natural waters and archaeological isotope ratios to organometallic speciation in biological materials. Describing explicitly the analytical methods that deal with current analytical challenges, and offering a current perspective on elemental analysis by plasma source mass spectrometry that is not to be found elsewhere, this book will be welcomed by both academics and industrialists as containing the most up-to-date information available on this burgeoning topic.

Two enclosed plasma spectrometry sources [Applied Research Laboratories (ARL) 35000 and Sopra inductive plasma spectrometer 1500] are described with emphasis on specific designs and safety devices. One of these spectrometers has been working routinely on toxic and high-alpha-emitting samples for five years. The glove box adaptation results in only a small decrease in sensitivity and no visible effect on the precision obtained. The main applications are determinations of trace impurities in plutonium, neptunium, and beryllium, and simultaneous determination of americium and plutonium in dilute solutions.

This book provides a snapshot of the current state-of-the-art of the understanding of the fundamentals of ICPMS, instrumental development, methods development, spectral interpretation and applications. It covers a diverse range of topics including: bioanalytical applications (immunoassay, state of phosphorylation, metallo-drugs); environmental applications (drinking water, groundwater, seawater, speciation); reaction cells and collision cells (theory and applications); archaeology; laser ablation; isotope ratio analysis; and the performance, characterization and applications of multicollector instruments. Written by international contributors who emphasize their current perceptions and understanding of the subject, Plasma Source Mass Spectrometry: Applications and Emerging Technologies offers a current perspective on elemental analysis by plasma source mass spectrometry that is not to be found elsewhere. Researchers and professionals in many areas will welcome this book, particularly those in the fields of bioanalytical, environmental and geological chemistry.

The limitations placed on the use of inductively coupled plasma source optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) for the examination of radioactive materials are discussed, particularly the influence of radiation and contamination hazards on facility design. The design of safe facilities can be ensured by careful attention to containment, shielding, and methodology. Removal of active aerosols, generated by the plasma source, from exhaust gases can be achieved by the use of high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. Containment of plasma sources in fume hoods can be satisfactory, but special precautions should be adopted to avoid the consequences of exhaust failure. Glove box containment is highly desirable when analyzing solutions containing plutonium-239 at concentrations >1 ?g mL-1. Radiation hazards can be lowered, waste production reduced, and the need for heavy shielding lessened by adopting a small-sample approach with transient signal measurement. Many desirable design features have been incorporated into an upgraded ICP-OES system at Harwell, which should allow the safe, efficient analysis of the wide range of radioactive samples generated in a nuclear energy research establishment. Elsewhere in the United Kingdom, a number of other facilities for analysis of radioactive materials are in the course of design, installation, and commissioning, including two aimed at supporting reprocessing activities.
