ATOMIC PERSPECTIVES
Analysis of Flue Gas Desulfurization Wastewaters by ICP-MS
Wastewater from coal-fired power plants is linked to a wide range of environmental and human health concerns. Measuring low levels of toxic trace metals in these wastewaters is complicated, however, by high levels of interfering matrix elements. A new EPA method using ICP-MS addresses this analytical challenge.
Richard Burrows, Steve Wilbur, and Richard Clinkscales

ARTICLES
Raman Thermometry of Microdevices: Choosing a Method to Minimize Error
Temperature measurements can be made using spectral features such as the position, linewidth, and intensity of the Raman signal associated with specific optical phonon modes. Each of these spectral characteristics offers particular advantages, depending on the type of device and operational considerations.
Thomas E. Beechem and Justin R. Serrano
