The environmental impact of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) used in consumer products is a concern that needs to be addressed. To assess the environmental impact and risks through the use of ENPs in ...

In semiconductor manufacturing, a process called chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) is used for polishing wafer surfaces. CMP uses a slurry that contains both functional chemicals and ...

Microplastics screening has become an increasingly important part of environmental analysis, necessitating reliable analytical processes. ICP-MS has traditionally been unsuitable for measuring carbon ...

Carbon is difficult to measure with ICP-MS due to its high ionization potential and its presence in both the argon used to generate the plasma and in reagents. Because of this, high backgrounds exist ...
