• Description: Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) belongs to the most developing spectroscopic technique for spectrochemical analysis. Here we present the application of LIBS technique for monitoring of trafficking and deposition of selected heavy metals (Pb, Ag) and nutrition elements in different part of plant samples that can be potentially interesting for phytoremediation.
