What Challenges are Faced in Identification and Quantification?
Despite advancements in analytical techniques, several challenges persist in the identification and quantification of toxic substances:
Complex Mixtures: Environmental and biological samples often contain complex mixtures that can complicate the detection of specific toxicants. Low Concentrations: Many toxic substances are present in trace amounts, requiring highly sensitive and selective analytical methods. Interference: Other compounds present in a sample may interfere with the detection and quantification of the target substance, affecting accuracy.
