• Description: Monitoring of metals in agricultural soils is gaining importance as they are accumulated by plants. A LA-ICP-QMS method with Nd:YAG 213 nm laser has been developed for determination of Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn and Pb in soil pellets prepared by the sol-gel technique. LA-ICP-MS analysis of archive samples was verified by XRF of wax-soil pellets and ICP-MS with nebulization of solutions obtained by total soil decomposition and by analysis of reference materials. Sequention extraction was used for fractionation analysis.
