title: Rayleigh light scattering and electron paramagnetic resonance methods for ecological monitoring and medical diagnostics.
abstract: Two physical methods, such as Rayleigh light scattering and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), are proposed for detecting toxic heavy metals in aqueous media. These methods can find application in ecological monitoring and medical diagnostics. The advantages of these methods over existing ones are considered, and the threshold values of heavy metal concentrations detected by various physical methods are compared.
