Environmental applications and recent innovations in single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS)

Characterisation of Engineered Nanomaterials in Nano-Enabled Products Exhibiting Priority Environmental Exposure

“…In rare cases, single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) quantified the particle concentration of nTiO 2 at 1.9 × 10 2 –4.8 × 10 5 parts/mL [ 15 , 42 , 43 ] and nZnO at 1.4 × 10 3 –1.0 × 10 4 particle/mL [ 43 ] in sunscreens and 1.0 × 10 4 –3.9 × 10 5 particles/mL in personal care products (i.e., shampoos, facial cream, toothpaste, lip balm, and day cream) [ 42 ]. The determination of particle concentration of ENMs added in NEPs is emerging [ 39 ]; the growing application of spICP-MS and reporting of ENMs particle concentration in complex environmental media has been reported [ 44 , 45 ].…”

Nanoparticles in analytical laser and plasma spectroscopy – a review of recent developments in methodology and applications

“…The different aspects of spICP-MS were already assessed in detail in a handful of reviews. 36,37,197,310,311 The following section presents only the basic principles of the technique, recent developments, and applications.…”

“…Environmental applications include the analysis of NPs in lake, river and sea water, wastewater, soil as well as sediment samples. 311,349 NPs were also detected and characterized in human tissues, 350 urine, [351][352][353] blood, 352,353 serum 353 exhaled breath condensate, 354 simulated gastric uid 355 and articial sweat mixture, 356 animal tissues and blood [357][358][359] and in different parts of plants [360][361][362] as well.…”

Analytical applications of single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry: a comprehensive and critical review

“…The scientific production from 2003 to the end of 2020 has been organized in four fields, namely "Reviews", "Fundamentals", "Method Development" and "Applications". With respect to the "Reviews" field, one tutorial, 15 five reviews 1,[16][17][18]27 and two divulgation articles 28,29 on the specific topic of SP-ICP-MS have been published to date. However, the technique is being included in most reviews on ICP-MS 30,31 or about the analysis of natural 32 or engineered [33][34][35] nanomaterials.…”
