Element speciation analysis provides a detailed assessment of the benefit or risk of an element present in a sample. The species or chemical form of elements determines their mobility, bioavailability and toxicity. These properties vary widely. Therefore, a precise determination in environmental, food and agricultural samples as well as in consumer goods is often essential to be able to classify them.

Food and beverages, for example, may already contain natural elements containing substances that are harmful to health, such as rice from areas that are subject to a high natural concentration of arsenic. In the case of consumer goods such as plastics, textiles, leather or toys, complex production steps or the use of chemicals can cause exposure to toxic element species. Skin contact or ingestion could then lead to severe poisoning.
