Neutron activation analysis (NAA) is a well-established analytical technique for the simultaneous measurement of multielement concentrations. The most common forms of NAA are instrumental (INAA), radiochemical (RNAA) and preconcentration (PNAA). We have previously reported the development of speciation NAA (SNAA). We are also interested in the development of biochemical NAA (BNAA) methods for...

Experience in applying mosses as biomonitors of trace elements and radionuclides in some selected rural and urban areas affected by intense anthropogenic activity is reviewed. Among them the western part of the Kola Peninsula (NW Russia), the most heavily industrialized area in the entire Arctic; the South Urals (Karabash) counted among the most polluted areas in the world where human impact...

Oysters in Japan are mainly cultivated in Miyagi, Hiroshima, and Hokkaido Prefectures. Sometimes baby cultivated oysters are exchanged between Japan and Korea; so both cultivated oysters are said to be genetically similar. Since Japanese consume a fair amount of raw oysters, it is of interest to compare the elemental levels of oysters from different areas. Soft tissues of cultivated Japanese...

The aim of this work was to acquire traceable quantitative results for total As in whole samples as well as in extracts containing As species. Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) is well suited for such measurements and is used in this work to validate the As mass fraction determined by liquid chromatography combined with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LC-ICP-MS) in...

The present study relates to the use of microalga Nostoc linkia for the removal of chromium and nickel from wastewater of galvanic industry. During one hour experiment 70% of chromium and 50% of nickel were removed from the wastewaters. To determine concentrations of Cr and Ni in wastewater samples atomic absorption spectrometry was used. The samples of dry nostoc biomass after exposure to...
