COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN TRADITIONAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL METHODS FOR THE MULTIELEMENT DETERMINATION OF HEAVY METALS: ADVANCES AND PERSPECTIVES

This article presents a comparative analysis between traditional and electrochemical methods for the multielemental determination of heavy metals in environmental and biological samples. Recent advances in the application of electrochemical techniques—such as voltammetry—are discussed, highlighting improvements in analytical sensitivity, selectivity, and speed. The advantages and limitations of each approach are examined, and future perspectives are provided for the development of more efficient and sustainable electrochemical methods for heavy metal detection.
