The chromium and copper contamination of algae on a filter was directly monitored with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as a demonstration of LIBS capabilities. Liquid samples of the green alga Des-modesmus subspicatus were intentionally contaminated with chromium, incubated, filtered, and the filters with the algae were analysed. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used as a reference method. One half of the filter with the algae was dissolved and analysed as a solution with ICP-MS and the second half was subjected to the LIBS and laser ablation-ICP-MS analysis. Chromium and copper were attributable to the algae contamination and detectable with LIBS. The results from the LIBS provided almost equivalent information about the relative changes of the Cr and Cu concentration in the algae. The sensitivity of LIBS with a Czerny-Turner spectrometer was fully comparable with the ICP-MS procedure. The trends from LIBS were more similar to the LA-ICP-MS ones. It means that the algae growth inhibition in dependence on the chromium or copper content can be alternatively monitored with LIBS instead of the complicated decomposition procedure in ICP-MS analysis.
