A radiochemical method for the determination of 210 Pb in various types of samples was validated. An extraction chromatographic material Eichrom SrResin ® was used for Pb separation. From the resin, Pb was eluted with 6 M HCl. The method was tested for water, inorganic and organic matrices. As a main result of the study, activity concentrations of 210 Pb in 19 food samples of the main Czech food-basket items were determined. Results ranged from 0.03 ± 0.01 Bq kg -1 to 1.54 ± 0.40 Bq kg -1 , fresh mass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
