This paper is intended to be a constructive discussion of Fiket et al. (2017, Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, 41, 123–135), who dealt with the determination of major, trace and rare earth elements in several sediment and soil certified reference materials. In the present author's view, the paper by Fiket et al. (2017) suffers from a lack of reference to several publications in which somewhat similar results had already been reported. The present contribution therefore provides a comparison of previously published results with those of Fiket et al. for the CRMs soil NCS DC 77302 (GBW 07410), stream sediment NCS DC 73309 (GBW 07311), marine sediments MESS‐3 and NCS DC 75301 (GBW 07314) and estuarine sediment IAEA‐405. It is argued that this fuller consideration (a) allows critical evaluation of the quality of the results presented by Fiket et al. and (b) highlights the advantages of their work. Finally, attention is drawn to the (possible or real) problems that can arise during simultaneous determination of multiple trace elements.

“…A significant amount of effort has been placed toward resolving spectral interferences in ICP-QMS determinations, with collision/reaction cells (CRCs) and ICP-MS/MS representing the current state of the art (Tanner et al, 2002 ; Koppenaal et al, 2004 ; Bolea-Fernandez et al, 2015 , 2017 ; Lum and Sze-Yin Leung, 2016 ). Despite these efforts, ICP-MS is still susceptible to relatively intense matrix effects, which may be caused by space charge effects, or stem from samples containing organic solvents or high concentrations of acids, carbon species, and easily ionizable elements (Gajek and Choe, 2015 ; García-Poyo et al, 2015 ; Leclercq et al, 2015 ).…”

“…27 Isobaric interferences refer to different elements with isotopes that share a common mass while polyatomic interferences result from the combination of two or more isotopes in the plasma, which usually come from the sample matrix, solvent, and Ar itself. 28 Polyatomic interferences can impair the determination by ICP-MS, especially for fluorine, chlorine, bromine and, depending on the matrix composition, also for iodine (Table 1).…”

“…These collision/reaction cells may be pressurized with a reactive gas in order to promote ion-molecule reactions intended to suppress plasma-based isobaric interferences for element determination at trace levels. 28 The bandpass is adjusted in order to suppress the appearance of new interferences produced through sequential reactions within the reaction cell. These cells may alternatively be operated at low pressure (vented under collision-free conditions) to emulate conventional ICP-MS.…”

Rationale In this review, works published in the past 25 years for fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine determination in several matrices by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) were covered. Usually, the determination of halogens has been performed by ICP‐MS using a previous sample preparation step or, more recently, by direct analysis of solid or liquid samples. Methods Methods based on combustion, extraction, pyrohydrolysis, sample dilution in organic or aqueous medium, and wet digestion, among others, are discussed. Moreover, the recent applications of methods based on laser ablation (LA) and electrothermal vaporization (ETV) coupled to ICP‐MS are discussed. Results The main challenge for methods using sample preparation has been to obtain a final solution compatible with ICP‐MS, as well as to overcome problems related to analyte losses and contamination. Interferences due to the presence of dissolved organic compounds in solution, enhancement or suppression of ionization of analytes, and related matrix effects have been of concern when using ICP‐MS. For the determination of halogens by ICP‐MS using LA and ETV systems, some limitations related to the difficulty of calibration are pointed out, impairing the widespread use of this approach. Conclusions A critical view is presented for further halogen determination by ICP‐MS, mainly for matrices considered difficult to digest using conventional protocols.
