Chemical characterization of ancient pottery from the south-west Amazonia using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis

Instrumental neutron activation analysis of air suspended particles in Rasht city, Iran

Background: In addition to gas pollutants, many chemicals and air pollutants are in the form of particulate matter. Particulate matter consists of a complex mixture of variable sized particles and physicochemical composition. These particles mainly contain minerals including Fe, Al, Ca, K, Cu, Ti, Mn, Ni, V and their size, chemical composition and concentration are important to assess ...

Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis of Trace Elements in Some Food Spices Consumed In Tehran, Iran

Introduction There is a growing interest in determining the concentration of various elements in food spices. In the present study, the instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was employed to measure the trace elements in 11 commonly food spices consumed in Tehran, Iran. Materials and Methods The levels of K, Mn, Na, Cl, V, Br, Al, and As were determined and their effects on human healt...

Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) for steel analysis and certification

Addition of trace elements (intended or as impurities) in steel or alloys can completely change the properties of materials; thus, there is a necessity to have reliable analytical techniques to determine major and trace components in this type of material. Also, to solving problems with quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) in this subject, appropriate certified reference materials should b...
