Abstract
This research presents the contents of K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, and Pb in lichen and moss samples used as biomonitors of air pollution collected in Ulaanbaatar city. X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) methods were used, employing for excitation a Pd X‐ray tube with a molybdenum secondary target. Matrix effects were corrected by the use of normalization for the coherent and incoherent scattered peak, in this way the determination is more efficient. For quality control of the results, comparisons were made with results from other certified laboratories. No significant differences were found between the different techniques. The elemental distribution patterns obtained for each metal were associated with different pollution sources, thus contributing to the assessment of air pollution in Ulaanbaatar.
期刊介绍:
X-Ray Spectrometry is devoted to the rapid publication of papers dealing with the theory and application of x-ray spectrometry using electron, x-ray photon, proton, γ and γ-x sources.
Covering advances in techniques, methods and equipment, this established journal provides the ideal platform for the discussion of more sophisticated X-ray analytical methods.
Both wavelength and energy dispersion systems are covered together with a range of data handling methods, from the most simple to very sophisticated software programs. Papers dealing with the application of x-ray spectrometric methods for structural analysis are also featured as well as applications papers covering a wide range of areas such as environmental analysis and monitoring, art and archaelogical studies, mineralogy, forensics, geology, surface science and materials analysis, biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
