Quantification of Heavy Metal Contamination in Soil and Plants Near a Leather Tanning Industrial Area Using Libs and TXRF

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

The present work reports the quantitative analysis of chromium along with other constituents in the soil of the Jajmau industrial area, Kanpur, India using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF). High concentrations of chromium have also been demonstrated in wheat and mustard plants in this study.
