Interferences in ICP-AES:

You have learnt earlier in the context of other atomic spectrometric methods that any chemical, physical or spectral process that adversely affects the measurement of the radiation of interest can be classified as interference. In case of ICP-AES the interferences may occur in any stage of the operation; starting from the sample preparation stage to the plasma operating conditions. Let us learn about different types of interferences in ICP-AES.
