Non-destructive detection of mercury and salicylic acid in beauty cream using hyperspectral imaging and chemometrics for toxicological risk assessment
Adulteration of cosmetic products with toxicants remains a public-health concern, especially in markets where surveillance is uneven. We developed a non-destructive screening method for mercury and salicylic acid using hyperspectral imaging (400–1000 nm, Specim FX10 camera) coupled with machine-learning (ML) chemometri...
