Abstract: | A comparative evaluation of the applicability of different radionuclide sources for the determination of toxic elements in
plants by ED-XRF is presented.238Pu or109Cd are suggested as most suitable single excitation sources in ED-XRF for monitoring investigations. More elements are determined
with a combination of55F/109Cd(238Pu)/241Am. The results obtained by radionuclide ED-XRF analysis of different plants show that the method permits the reliable determination
of Br, Ca, Fe, K, Mn, Rb, Sr and Zn in plant bioindicators. For toxic elements like As, Cd, Cu Cr, Hg, Ni, Se and Pb the detection
limits of the method are not low enough. |
