AB  - Liquid surface and liquid aerosol as the traditional liquid forms for 
      laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP), 
      respectively, have been used to analyze chromium (Cr) and cadmium (Cd) elements 
      using LIBS in a liquid solution. The spectral differences, the effects of laser 
      energy and laser frequency, the accumulated number of laser pulses, gate delay 
      time, and the quantitative analyses for a liquid surface and a liquid aerosol 
      were compared. The results showed that the liquid surface demonstrated a lower 
      plasma threshold, higher optical emission intensity, and higher single-to-noise 
      ratio. Moreover, the relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the intensities of 
      the liquid aerosol are better than those of the liquid surface. Furthermore, the 
      results of the quantitative analyses of Cr I 357.86 nm and Cd I 361.05 nm of the 
      liquid surface are close to those of the liquid aerosol. The limit of detections 
      of Cr and Cd of the liquid surface were 2.764 and 86.869  mug/mL, which were close 
      to those of liquid aerosol, 2.847  mug/mL of Cr and 97.635  mug/mL of Cd. For both 
      the liquid surface and liquid aerosol, the coefficient of determination R(2) of 
      the calibration curve for Cr and Cd were above 0.99, and the average RSDs of Cr 
      and Cd of the liquid surface were 0.027 and 0.054, which were similar to the 
      0.020 of Cr and 0.042 of Cd of the liquid aerosol. These results suggest that 
      both the liquid surface and aerosol have similar detection abilities for water 
      quality monitoring.
