This is the 33th annual review of the application of atomic spectrometry to the chemical
analysis of environmental samples. This update refers to papers published approximately …

This review describes advances in the XRF group of techniques published approximately
between April 2016 and March 2017. With technique maturity, it is the sample rather than the …

Heavy metal and metalloid contamination of farmland soils are closely related to human
health. Soil contamination caused by small-scale mining activities has been largely …

Portable X-ray fluorescence (PXRF) spectrometry has already been established as a rapid
and cost-effective tool for predicting various soil physicochemical properties. This study used …

In this study, elemental data from portable X-ray fluorescence (PXRF) spectrometry was
used to test the efficiency of four machine learning techniques (random forest; linear and …

Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectrometers can be used to determine the elemental
composition easily, rapidly, and without using chemical reagents, which is very important for …

Portable X‐ray fluorescence (PXRF) spectrometry is a proximal sensing technique whereby
low‐power X‐rays are used to make elemental determinations in soils. The technique is …

Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectrometry delivers results rapidly, at low-cost, and
without generating chemical residues. This study aimed to predict soil pH, sum of bases …

Soil enzymes act in biogeochemical cycles of elements and are indicators of soil quality
since they rapidly reflect changes of the environmental conditions. Moreover, enzymes are …

Anthropogenic measures that are implemented to improve the nutrient status of soil for
growing food can lead to soil and environmental contamination. The influence of agricultural …
