A strong oxidizer, osmium tetroxide (OsO4) is a highly toxic and irritative species. Its volatility enhances the risk of intoxication by inhalation in areas with poor ventilation. Osmium tetroxide attacks mainly skin, mucous membranes, nose, and eyes at very low concentrations. These are the main reasons why osmium tetroxide may be abused as a chemical weapon in public areas with limited air circulation (airports, shopping centres). Therefore, stringent monitoring is needed. Analytical methodologies, approaches, and strategies for the detection of osmium tetroxide are comprehensively surveyed in the proposed work.

A simple and sensitive electroanalytical technique for the detection and quantification of zinc has been developed that demonstrates beneficial analytical features of boron-doped diamond electrode. The influence of deposition potential on the stripping peak current of zinc was studied, and optimum value of -1.7 V vs. Ag/AgCl electrode was chosen. Optical and atomic force microscopic studies showed that the mechanism of deposition process is governed by nucleation by which first nanoparticles and then grains of zinc are formed. The detection limit of 4.7×10⁻¹⁰ mol·l⁻¹, good repeatability (relative standard deviation of 3.2%) as well as wide linear dynamic range from 5×10⁻¹⁰ to 5×10⁻⁶ mol·l⁻¹ were obtained in 0.1 mol·l⁻¹ KCl for deposition time of 120 s. Interference from other heavy metals such as Hg²⁺, Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Cd²⁺ do not significantly influence anodic stripping peak of zinc even in a 100-fold excess. The method was applied in analysis of zinc in environmental rubber industry samples with results in good agreement with those obtained by atomic absorption spectrometry, confirming that the boron-doped diamond electrode is an excellent sensing tool for heavy metals environmental monitoring.
