Spectrochemical analysis of soil around leather tanning industry using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy

We report the use of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to determine the chromium contamination of soil due to effluents from leather tanning industry in Kasur District of Punjab (+ 31 ° 6 ′ 23.2 1 ″, + 74 ° 2 7 ′ 16.2 9 ″) in Pakistan. Calibration curves were constructed by indigenously pr...
