Atomic absorption spectrometry can only be used for metallic elements. Each element needs a different hollow cathode lamp for its determination.

What are the advantages of ICP-MS compare to atomic emission spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrometry?

ICP-MS allows multi-element analysis. It has a longer linear working range so fewer standards for calibration is needed as they can be spaced further apart. ICP-MS also has a higher sensitivity compared to atomic emission spectrometry or atomic absorption spectrometry.

What is the use of atomic absorption spectrometry in food industries?

Atomic absorption spectrometry is used in food industries to accurately determine the concentration of trace elements like heavy metals (e.g. lead, mercury) and essential nutrients (e.g. iron, zinc) in food samples. This helps in ensuring food safety by monitoring contamination levels and assessing nutritional quality.
