Determination of lead content in whitening cream using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis
Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technique was applied to determine the concentration of heavy metal such as Pb in five different whitening creams available from retail shop and open market in Johor, Malaysia. The whitening cream in the form of an emulsion was painted on the glass slide a...
