This is the fifteenth annual review published in JAAS of the application of atomic spectroscopy to the chemical analysis of environmental samples. Over the period there have been no major breakthroughs in atomic spectrometry, but environmental scientists are discovering the wide variety of applications that can be addressed with current analytical instrumentation. In particular, the low detection limits and isotopic measurement capabilities of ICP-MS are being widely exploited.
