Rapid Determination of Cadmium in Shellfish Based on Direct Sampling Electrothermal Vaporization Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry with a Tungsten Coil Trap
Cadmium is among the most toxic metals in the aquatic environment. It particularly affects shellfish because the latter can accumulate large amounts of cadmium from the water. To reduce the potential risk on the health of public consumers, it is necessary to measure and monitor the level of cadmium in shellfish. Conventional analysis methods are usually time-consuming due to the prolonged sample digestion and pretreatments. A direct solid sampling technology without digestion treatment has been applied in t...
