Abstract:Heavy metals are widely used in industrial production and life practice, and poisoning cases and accidents caused by them occur from time to time. In order to prevent and treat heavy metal poisoning in time, it is urgent to explore and establish some simple and rapid methods for the detection and removal of heavy metals in biological samples. However, the matrix of biological samples is complex, and complicated sample treatment is usually needed before detection. In recent years, a series of technologies, such as solid injection, have developed rapidly, showing great application potential in rapid and direct analysis of biological samples. In this paper, the rapid detection methods for heavy metals in biological samples were reviewed in detail, and the common removal technologies of heavy metals in organisms were summarized. Besides, a brief outlook on the shortcomings in the current study and further developments was also given.
