: Molybdenum, nickel, and chromium play important roles in steel property. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) assisted with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is a promising technique with high sensitivity to elemental analyses. However, the spectra suffered from strong and unstable background from laser scattering when determining these three elements in steel matrix, which would deteriorate the accuracy. In this work, a self-adaptive method based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) was introduced to solve this problem. No manual or subjective intervention is needed even if changing spectral ranges and elemental species. The LIBS-LIF spectral data were decomposed by Daubechies wavelet with the wavelet function db7 and the decomposition level 7. Then the spectra were reconstituted with background removal. In quantitative analyses, R squares in calibration curves of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum were greatly increased from 0.976, 0.965, and 0.981 to 0.995, 0.993, and 0.997, respectively; and the root-mean-square errors of cross-validation (RMSECVs) were significantly decreased from 0.0153, 0.0290, and 0.0152 wt.% to 0.00649, 0.00832, and 0.00793 wt.%, respectively. The results demonstrated both calibration model accuracy and analytical accuracy were greatly improved. This work provides an effective and convenient approach for modifying LIBS-LIF analyses in determination of molybdenum, nickel, and chromium in steels.

: This review's main purpose is to provide a succinct overview of recent developments in the field of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detection based on Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). VOCs are important air pollutants, which have great harm to the environment and human body. It is of great significance to realize the rapid detection of VOCs in the atmospheric environment. LIBS is a novel atomic emission spectroscopy technology, which can achieve the rapid in-situ detection of substances and shows great potential in the online monitoring of atmospheric VOCs. To illustrate the development and difficulties of LIBS technology in atmospheric VOCs detection, some typical cases for various aspects are listed, including the detection of harmful elements in VOCs, source tracing of VOCs, the identification of isomers, and the detection of VOCs in living environment.

: Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) for sulfur isotope analysis in chalcopyrite is an essential technique with exceptional spatial resolution, which enables precise constraints on mineralization mechanisms. However, the scarcity of matrix-matched chalcopyrite reference materials (RM) for SIMS hinders its accuracy and reliability. This study introduces a large-grained natural chalcopyrite RM (IGSD) for precise sulfur isotope analysis (δ 34 S) using SIMS and laser ablation multicollector-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICPMS). Petrographic examination and electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) results confirm the homogeneity of major elements in the IGSD chalcopyrite grains. The results of in situ analysis at four SIMS laboratories and one LA-MC-ICPMS laboratory and bulk analysis confirm the homogeneity of the S isotope composition in the IGSD chalcopyrite grains. The in situ analysis result is consistent with the result of isotope ratio mass spectroscopy (IRMS), which falls within the same range of uncertainty. This supports the suitability of the IGSD chalcopyrite RM for in situ S isotope analysis. The recommended δ 34 S value of the IGSD chalcopyrite RM, based on IRMS, is 4.21 ± 0.23‰ (2SD, n = 30).

: X-ray fluorescence method was proposed for a determination of major elements in samples of snow cover solid phase collected in the urban areas of the Irkutsk region near aluminum smelter and combined heat and power plant. The limitation of the analyzed sample mass, which in some cases does not exceed 50 mg, as well as the features of the elemental composition (high Al and low Si contents) require a special methodological approach to quantitative elemental analysis. Due to the lack of matrix-matched certified reference materials, the calibration set includes certified reference materials of igneous and sedimentary rocks as well as aluminum ore samples. Results of X-ray fluorescence method were compared with the results obtained by reference methods including atomic absorption, atomic emission and spectrophotometry methods. It showed that it is necessary to use samples of snow cover solid phase analyzed by reference methods as a calibration set for X-ray fluorescence analysis, which ensures the quantitative determination of major elements (Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, K, Ca, Ti, Mn and Fe). These elements are important for environmental pollution investigation. Al was discovered as a main pollutant produced by aluminum smelter, Si, Ca, Ti, Mn, and Fe - by combined heat and power plant.
