Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the analysis of trace elements and minerals in various matrices, including food, water, soil, and biological samples. It investigates the concentrations, distribution, and potential health and ecological risks associated with these elements, particularly heavy metals. Research also explores methods for assessing contamination, such as using pollution indices and multivariate statistical analyses, and examines the impact of human activities and environmental conditions on element levels.
