Abstract:

The evolution of the research in the last years is continuously founding new toxicology data in the various metals species, in
different form and of oxidation states or size as nanoparticles. The atomic spectroscopy analytical techniques are following
this evolution to make possible the reliable determination of these elements at lower level, the characterization of the different
state of oxidation of the same element or the organometallic species that is able to form and also obtaining size information
when some element is present as nanoparticle.
