Various plant samples are analyzed with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to see the spatial distribution of the selected contaminant in the plant; to see whether it is only accumulated in the roots or it is translocated to higher parts of the plant. Toxicity of cadmium is tested on cannabis satvia.
