In situ determination of trace elements in Fucus spp. by field-portable-XRF.
Fresh and freeze-dried sample sections of the coastal macroalgae, Fucus serratus and F. vesiculosus, and the brackish water macroalga, F. ceranoides, have been analysed for trace elements by field-portable-X-ray fluorescence (FP-XRF) spectrometry using a Niton XL3t in a low density mode with thickness correction. When analysed fresh in a laboratory accessory stand for a period of 200 seconds, A...
متن کاملTrace metals in sediments of two estuarine lagoons from Puerto Rico.
Concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Hg, Pb and Zn were evaluated in surface sediments of two estuaries from Puerto Rico, known as San José Lagoon (SJL) and Joyuda Lagoon. Significantly higher concentrations in microg/g dw of Cd (1.8 vs. 0.1), Cu (105 vs. 22), Hg (1.9 vs. 0.17), Pb (219 vs. 8), and Zn (531 vs. 52) were found in sediment samples from SJL when compared to Joyuda Lagoon. Average conc...
متن کاملField portable XRF analysis of environmental samples.
One of the critical factors for successfully conducting contamination characterization, removal, and remedial operations at hazardous waste sites is rapid and appropriate response to analyze samples in a timely fashion. Turnaround time associated with off-site analysis is often too slow to support efficient utilization of the data. Field portable X-ray fluorescence (FPXRF) techniques provide vi...
متن کاملRole of estuarine natural processes in removal of trace metals under emergency situations
Estuaries are well known for their potential in removing metal from fresh water to provide micro-nutrients to aquatic life. In the present investigation, we have tried to bring out the metal removal potential of estuaries during accidental spills. For this purpose artificial river water containing high concentration of Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni and Pb were mixed with sea water at different salinity regime...
متن کاملBiomonitoring of Trace Metals in Estuarine and Marine Environments
In assessing the distributions of trace metals in aquatic environments as a prerequisite to any study of the variation of local toxic metal contamination over space and time, it is tempting to measure dissolved and/or sediment concentrations. A third and preferred alternative, however, is the measurement of accumulated trace metal concentrations in selected organisms, termed biomonitors. Such c...
