The Inductively-coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy can be used for detecting the presence of heavy metals like lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury in the food and water.
The Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectroscopy can be used for estimating the presence of pesticides, weedicides and chemical growth promoters, all used by the farmers and the dairy and poultry farmers for increasing the yield.
