XRF or micro-XRF is a good tool to detect low concentrations of elements down to ppm level.

Kirsten Ingolf Schiffmann

If you espect light elements which in XRF in air are not detectable, you may use WDX in vacuumm, which yield also sensitivity down to 0,01wt% and can also measure elements like B, N, O, F, Na, Mg. - XRF in vacuum should also be able to measure light elements.
