Highlights in the field of air analysis included: a new focus on measuring tyre-wear particle
emissions; an interest in using unmanned aerial vehicles for sampling purposes and an …

Pteris vittata is an arsenic (As) hyperaccumulator that can accumulate several thousand mg
As kg− 1 DW in aboveground biomass. A key factor for its hyperaccumulation ability is its …

In this work, arsenic (As) accumulation and distribution over time in Pteris vittata young
fronds from adult plants and in whole plantlets, grown on a highly contaminated As-soil, was …

This study evaluated the phytoextraction capacity of the fern Pteris vittata grown on a natural
arsenic-rich soil of volcanic-origin from the Viterbo area in central Italy. This calcareous soil …

Brazil nuts are native from the Amazon rainforest and their nuts are consumed worldwide
having good sensory acceptability. However, knowledge gaps remain concerning elemental …

The ionome concept, which stands as the inorganic composition of an organism, was
introduced 15 years ago. Since then, the ionomics approaches have identified several …

The timing and efficiency of arsenic (As) accumulation is crucial for using the
hyperaccumulator P. vittata in remediation of As-contaminated soils. In this study, through an …

Laboratory microprobe X-ray fluorescence (μ-XRF) spectrometry is a powerful analytical
technique able to detect trace elements in biological samples. The present study compared …

In this study, benchtop micro-X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (µXRF) was evaluated as a
green and cost-effective multielemental analytical technique for P. vittata. Here, we compare …

Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectroscopy is an analytical technique
often used to create maps of the elemental chemical composition. The fluorescence signal …
