Lead (Pb) isotopic analyses proved to be a very efficient tool for tracing the sources of local
and global Pb pollution. This review presents an overview of literature published on the use …

The extent of isotopic discrimination of transition metals in biological processes is poorly
understood but potentially has important applications in plant and biogeochemical studies.• …

Recent reports suggest that significant fractionation of stable metal isotopes occurs during
biogeochemical cycling and that the uptake into higher plants is an important process. To …

This is the twenty-first annual review published in JAAS of the application of atomic
spectrometry to the chemical analysis of environmental samples. In the analysis of air, there …

Zinc isotope ratios were measured in the top sections of dated ombrotrophic peat cores in
Finland to investigate their potential as proxies for atmospheric sources and to constrain …

Amino acid adsorption on smectite is relevant to prebiotic processes involving possible
catalytic reactions in the early Solar System, as implied by the clay-organic correlation found …

This annual review of X-ray fluorescence covers developments over the period 2004–2005
in instrumentation and detectors, matrix correction and spectrum analysis procedures, X-ray …

Element concentrations, element ratios and Pb and Zn isotope data are reported for different
geologic samples (barren and ore-bearing granites and host rocks), technogenic products …

Recovery of belowground microbial biodiversity is important for soil restoration after mining
exploitation. We aimed to compare microbial communities of a mine rehabilitation site to …

The objective of this article was to investigate the feasibility of epoxy resin-based monoliths
prepared by stepwise polymerization and column preconcentration of metal ions using large …
