Update refers papers approximately between September 2010 and August 2011 continues series Updates (ASUs) Environmental Analysis1 that should be read conjunction with other related ASU reviews series, namely: clinical biological materials, foods beverages;2 advances techniques;3 elemental speciation;4 X-ray fluorescence...
This is the fifteenth annual review published in JAAS of application atomic spectroscopy to chemical analysis environmental samples. Over period there have been no major breakthroughs spectrometry, but scientists are discovering wide variety applications that can be addressed with current analytical instrumentation. In particular, low detection limits and isotopic measurement capabilities ICP-MS being widely exploited.
Members of the Atomic Spectrometry Updates Editorial Board take a look back over 25 years at how subject atomic spectrometry has changed, and review articles have developed to reflect this.

Eight institutes using 12 different instruments analyzed newly developed multi-element reference materials (RM) for atmospheric particulate matter (PM) measurements. These RM have the potential to fill a gap in currently available quality assurance resources element analysis of PM samples such as X-ray fluorescence and inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry. This study evaluates performance these new generated by University California, Davis. The methodological challenge was determine...
This is the eighteenth annual review published in JAAS of application atomic spectroscopy to chemical analysis environmental samples. The follows on directly from last year's (J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2002, 17, 284-317), and once again uses revised format which includes less tabulated material. It was recognized by group that some tables were becoming comprehensive this form information better more easily obtained using electronic searches. We therefore critically report most important...
This is the sixteenth annual review published in JAAS of application atomic spectroscopy to chemical analysis environmental samples. In line with last year's there have been no major breakthroughs spectrometry. Developments mainly confined improvements existing techniques produce more reliable and robust analytical methods. ICP-MS applications for analysishave most active area research where its low detection limits isotopic measurement capabilities again widely exploited. air, promising...
Inhalation of respirable crystalline silica (RCS) can cause diseases including silicosis and cancer. Levels RCS close to an emission source are measured but little is known about the wider ambient exposure from industry emissions or natural sources. The aim this work report concentrations obtained a variety environments using new mobile (PM4) sampler. A battery powered high flow rate (52 L min−1) sampler was developed evaluated for particulate aerosol sampling employing foams select particle...
Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) is rapidly overtaking absorption (AAS) as the method of choice for determination toxic metals in workplace air. However, few ICP-AES methods that have been published are not well characterised terms effectiveness sample dissolution procedures described and their validation status. The International Standards Organization (ISO) currently engaged developing ISO 15202, which will describe a generic metalloids airborne particulate...
