Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite papers on applications of LIBS in food and environmental sciences, including pollution detection, safety assessments, nutrition measurements, air pollution detection, water quality monitoring, soil analysis, and food health.
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, as a rapidly developing elemental analysis technique, has been extensively researched and applied in various fields for the rapid measurement of elements. The research interest in rapid screening for pollutants, food adulteration, and traceability based on LIBS technology is rapidly growing, especially in the fields of food and the environment. The Special Issue will provide a forum for research and applications in LIBS technology in these fields. We welcome review articles and original research papers that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- New applications of LIBS in the fields of food and the environment;
- New methods combining LIBS with artificial intelligence;
- New explorations of LIBS in food and environmental element monitoring;
- The development of portable and miniaturized LIBS devices;
- The driving role of LIBS in the fields of food and the environment.
