ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) is frequently used for determining ultratrace amounts of technetium [9]. In spite of the high cost of the equipment, this detection method is far superior to other radiometric methods as regards sensitivity. When a double focussing high-resolution system is used (HR-ICP-MS) and an ultrasonic nebulizer is introduced [10], the detection limit is in the order 0.002 mBq. The ICP-MS method has been successfully applied to the determination of environmental "Tc as well as to other long-lived radionuclides of neptunium and plutonium in the environment. 

The corrosion of antimony electrodes was also measured using ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) for dissolved antimony in vivo [156], After the electrodes were inserted in the plasma, the antimony concentration showed a linear rise with time at a rate approximately of 94 j,g/L/h (r2 = 0.997). Although the projected antimony concentration is lower than the safe limit, accumulation of dissolved antimony and localized toxic effects in tissue may prevent the antimony electrode from long-term implantable applications.

Major and trace element concentrations in the acidified samples were determined via ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) and ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy) at the GSC s Geochemistry Research Laboratory. Dissolved anion concentrations were measured by 1C (ion chromatography) on the unacidified samples, also at the GSC s Geochemistry Research Laboratory. Characterization of the sediment mineralogy and texture by XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and TEM (transmission electron microscopy) is ongoing.

The application of further element-specific detection systems like ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry) can result in the element distribution in the SEC fractions (Schmitt et al., 2003).
