ABSTRACT
The LA-ICP-MS (Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) method applied in this paper leads to more accurate measurement results regarding the chloride level. Moreover, it is less laborious and better to assess than using the traditional titrimetric Volhard method. At first, the advantages of both, the new and the standard method are presented and discussed. Finally, the measurement results from both methods are compared with each other. The more accurate and laterally-resolved LA-ICP-MS results allows for new interpretations and, thus, for a better calibration of forecast models.
