Utilization of laser‐assisted analytical methods for monitoring of lead and nutrition elements distribution in fresh and dried Capsicum annuum l. leaves

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) have been applied for high‐resolution mapping of accumulation and distribution of heavy metal (lead) and nutrition elements (potassium, manganese) in leaves of Capsicum annuum L. samples. Lead was added in a form of Pb(NO3)2 at concentration up to 10 mmol L−1 into the vessels that contained tap water and where the 2‐months old Capsicum annuum L. plants were grown another seven days. Two dimensional maps of the elements are presented for both laser‐assisted analytical methods. Elemental mapping performed on fresh (frozen) and dried Capsicum annuum L. leaves are compared. Microsc.
