Analysis of Wastewater by ICP-OES With Dual Side-on Plasma Observation With a Focus on the European Union

Wastewater management is a major global problem. Whether it comes from industrial or urban sources, each country has its own regulations regarding the handling of waste. In Europe, the corresponding regulations are the Council Directives 91/271/EC and 2010/75/EC. Member states of the European union must incorporate these regulations to their individual legislation but can also tighten the rules according to the present infrastructure.

The main methodologies for wastewater analysis using ICP-OES according to DIN EN ISO 11885 are outlined in this report.
