Application of Atomic absorption spectroscopy

Application of Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy includes determination of metal ions in biological, environmental, and pharmaceutical samples.

Environmental Analysis: Used to detect metals and several non-metals in water, air, and soil samples to monitor pollution levels.
Clinical Analysis: Employed to determine metals in biological fluids, such as blood and urine, to diagnose certain illnesses or monitor therapies.
Pharmaceuticals: Used in quality control to determine metal impurities in drugs and to assay metal-based pharmaceuticals.
Food and Agriculture: AAS helps in determining the concentration of metals and minerals in foods and beverages. It also assists in analyzing soil samples to optimize nutrient content for plants.
Mining and Geology: Used to determine metal contents in ores and minerals. It helps in assessing the viability of mining projects.
Petrochemical Industry: AAS is used for trace metal analysis in crude oil and other petrochemical products.
Forensics: Employed in forensic laboratories to determine metal poisoning or exposure by analyzing tissue samples and body fluids.
Material Science: Used in analyzing metals in metallurgical samples and understanding corrosion.
