Surface water is an indispensable and important resource in human life and production. However, the existence of trace metal elements in surface water poses a potential threat to the safety of water quality. Therefore, it is important to perform accurate and rapid monitoring of trace metal elements in surface water. This article reviews the application of ICP-MS in monitoring trace metal elements in surface water, analyzes the challenges and countermeasures in its application process, and provides accurate data reference for the comprehensive development of surface water protection work. Reference for the comprehensive development of surface water protection work.
