Summary Atomic absorption spectroscopy, chromatography methods and mass spectrometry have had a major impact on the determination of contaminants and the limits of determination are reported. Specific examples of contaminants discussed are arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, organochlorine pesticides, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, vinyl chloride monomer, styrene and nitrosamines.
