Museum of Industry and Agriculture

In 1875, on the initiative of landed gentry and factory owners, a social and scientific corporation was founded in Warsaw under the name Muzeum Przemyslu i Rolnictwa (The Museum of Industry and Agriculture). Initially, there were not many members (51 in 1886), but the number grew to 373 by 1900. At that time the Muzeum had a library of about 2000 volumes and four specialized museums (Agriculture, Industry, Technology and Ethnography) were established.

The applications of plasma emission spectrometry are very broad. The technique is used for clinical chemistry, biochemistry, environmental chemistry, geology, specialty and bulk chemical production, materials characterization of metal alloys, glasses, ceramics, polymers and composite materials, atmospheric science, forensic science, conservation and restoration of artworks by museums, agricultural science, food and nutrition science, industrial hygiene, and many other areas. The versatility of plasma emission spectrometry comes from its ability to determine a large number of elements rapidly in a wide variety of sample matrices.
