Abstract

By using Inductively Coupled Plasma‐Mass Spectrometry (ICP‐MS) multi‐element analysis was performed on six toxic and one non‐toxic cyanobacteria and waste water. A method was developed using a single standard together with one SRM allowing multi‐element screening. This technique simplifies the calibration procedure and allows exploration of unforeseen elements in the mass spectrum in a couple of minutes. In this investigation, reports the concentration of Mn, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Cd, Ba, La, Pb and U in the cyanobacteria. High concentration of Mn was observed in Microcystis viridis. In the mass spectrum of the waste water from the cleaning plant in Starogard, Poland, it was observed that the concentration of Pb in water was higher after seven days than 120 days.
