Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry: Arsenic, Beryllium, Lead, Mercury, Osmium, and Thallium in Aqueous Media

Abstract

Members of the Forensic Analytical Center (FAC) at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center (DEVCOM CBC) (Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD) were requested to analyze samples that were suspected of containing arsenic, beryllium, lead, mercury, osmium, and/or thallium using inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The capability to process samples for specific elemental components allows for scientists to further analyze the samples for specific chemical warfare materials.
