Sampling and Storage Techniques for Trace Metal Analysis in Natural Waters

Abstract

Katja Bennett

Trace metal analysis in natural waters is crucial for understanding environmental health and assessing anthropogenic impacts. Accurate measurements depend significantly on proper sampling and storage techniques to minimize contamination and preserve sample integrity. This review explores various methods employed in the field, focusing on their effectiveness, limitations, and advancements. Key considerations include sampling strategies, preservation methods, and analytical techniques relevant to trace metal analysis.
