Anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) is a widely used electrochemical analysis method in rapid detection of heavy metals. But the interference in complex samples will influence the accuracy and sensitivity of electrochemical detection, which further limits ASV on-site application. In this article, main ion interferences, interference mechanisms and available elimination measures in ASV detection of heavy metals are analyzed and summarized. Metal ions, the main disturbances, generally interfere with detection by competing active sites, forming int...
