| Description | One of the possible applications of LIBS can be the mapping of plant compartments, where the elemental distribution within different tissues and organs could be observed. Moreover, recently the monitoring of heavy metal pollution, togethet with environmentally friendly cleaning of poluted sites also receives an increased interest. For poluted soils different remediation possibilities exist. One of them is phytoremediation, a process which uses plants to accumulate heavy metals from soil. Mapping of these metals in plant organs and tissues is important both, for protecting the human health and for controlling and improving the phytoremediation processes. |
