“…To process gamma spectra and to calculate concentrations of elements in the samples, software developed at FLNP JINR was used [12]. The errors in the determined concentrations were in the range of 5-15% and 30% or more for those elements (eg Ag) which concentrations in the samples were at the level of detection.…”

“…Characteristics of neutron flux density and the description of the irradiation channels and pneumatic transport system of the IBR-2 are given elsewhere . Complete information about automation of the process and improvement of the quality of analysis (labelling, storage and recording of analysed samples, irradiations, measurements and systematization of the results of analysis) can be found in Dmitriev and Pavlov (2013). The gamma spectra of the samples were measured with a HPGe detector with a resolution of 1.9 keV for the 60 Co 1332-keV line.…”

“…After irradiation, the samples were repacked and measured twice: first after 4-5 days for 45 min to determine As, Br, Dy, K, La, Na, Mo, Sm, U and W and after 20 days for 2 h to determine Ba, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Eu, Fe,Hf, Ni, Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, Sr, Ta, Tb, Th, W, Yb, Zn and Zr. The processing of the data and calculation of the elemental concentrations were performed using certified reference materials and flux comparators by means of software developed in FLNP, JINR (Frontasyeva and Pavlov 1999;Dmitriev and Pavlov 2013).

Moss biomonitoring technique using moss species Homolothecium lutescens (Hedw.) Robins and Hypnum cupressiforme (Hedw.) was applied to air pollution studies in the Republic of Macedonia. The study was performed in the framework of the International Cooperative Programme on Effects of Air Pollution on Natural Vegetation and Crops under the auspices of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP). The presence of 47 elements was determined by instrumental epithermal neutron activation analysis, atomic absorption spectrometry and atomic emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma. Normality of the datasets of elements was investigated, and Box-Cox transformation was used in order to achieve normal distributions of the data. Different pollution sources were identified and characterized using principal component analysis (PCA). Distribution maps were prepared to point out the regions most affected by pollution and to relate this to the known sources of contamination. The cities of Veles, Skopje, Tetovo, Radoviš and Kavadarci were determined to experience particular environmental stress. Moreover, three reactivated lead-zinc mines were also shown to contribute to a high content of lead and zinc in the eastern part of the country. However, a comparison with the previous moss survey conducted in 2005 showed a decreasing trend of pollution elements that are usually associated with emission from industrial activities.

Assessment of the environmental impact of El Sadat City, a Cairo satellite, known for its clustered enterprises, on the neighbourhood water supply El Manashi Tawfikia Canal was undertaken through soil analysis. A total of 20 agricultural soil samples were collected along the El Manashi Tawfikia Canal. Neutron activation analysis was implemented to determine heavy metal contents of such elements as As, Ba, Co, Cr, Ni, and Zn. Multivariate statistical analysis was applied to the results obtained. The metal pollution index and enrichment factor were calculated. It was shown that the content of toxic heavy metals in soil samples does not exceed the worldwide-published values, except arsenic which considerably exceeds normalized to the content of the same element in the Upper Continental Crust. The metal pollution index is high compared with the calculated ones for similar soil samples from the Nile Delta, and the enrichment factor varied from moderate to high enrichment (5 < EF > 10).
