TL;DR: The use of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in speciation analysis has increased tremendously in recent years as mentioned in this paper, and it is the most popular detector for the laboratories working on the biogeochemical cycling of Hg.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the high resolution distribution of Mg, Mn, Sr, Ba and Pb in their calcite shell layer, as determined by Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry, to temporal variations of environmental parameters.

TL;DR: The results confirmed that fish muscle and liver tissues appeared to be good bio-indicators for identification of coastal areas exposed to metallic contaminants and showed that the element levels in the muscles of all fishes in this study were lower than the maximum allowable concentrations and pose no threat to public health, except for arsenic.

TL;DR: In this article, a strong relationship between average annual Sr/Ca ratios and annual growth rate was found in Saxidomus giganteus and Mercenaria mercenaria shells.

TL;DR: Francesconi et al. as discussed by the authors dealt with only those that are considered toxic, including As-containing warfare agents and arsenobetaine (AB), because this is the most abundant As species in marine fish.
