“…Given their propensity for valence change it is of importance to report a new method 152 for the analysis of the elements thorium, uranium, neptunium and plutonium in their tetravalent state. Quadrupole inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy has been used 153 to determine plutonium in environmental samples whilst a-spectrometry was used in the analysis of neptunium-237 154 and americium-241 155 in nuclear fuel materials. Very special techniques have been used 156 to identify the physical and chemical characteristics of Special Nuclear Materials produced by different processes, so as to identify their origin.…”

“…Plutonium isotopes: Despite the fact that the isotope ratios of Pu are important for the origin of Pu in the environment, certified values for 239 Pu and 240 Pu of natural samples are still rare. NIST SRM 4350B, SRM 4353, SRM 4354 and SRM 4357 as well as IAEA-385 and IAEA-384 were used as QCMs (Cizdziel et al 2008, Greis et al 2008, Shinonaga et al 2008. Shinonaga et al (2008) recommend Pu isotope data for the marine sediment RM IAEA-315 derived from TIMS, ICP-MS, and alpha spectrometry.…”

This review gives an overview of the literature on reference materials of geochemical and environmental interest for the two‐year period 2008–2009. Reference materials play an increasingly important role in all fields of geoanalytical research. This is demonstrated by the large number of publications containing data on reference materials. Although many reference materials exist, there is still a great need for certified samples, so‐called delta zero materials for stable isotopic work and homogeneous microanalytical reference materials. This review focuses on six topics: developments of certification processes of reference materials mainly postulated in ISO guidelines and the IAG protocol, new developments of the GeoReM database, investigations of powdered rock reference materials, Chinese reference materials published in Chinese journals, microanalytical reference materials and isotopic reference materials.

“…A method for calculating the contribution of polyatomic species to background in quantification of ultra-low concentrations of Pu isotopes was described by Pointurier et al 293 In a different study, pre-concentration of Pu, with simultaneous removal of interferents such as U, was achieved by on-line coupling of a column of Eichrom TEVA resin to ICP-MS. 294 The method was reported to be suitable for rapid measurement of 239 Pu and 240 Pu in soil and sediment samples. Speed of analysis was a key factor also in work by Greis et al 295 who conducted a detailed evaluation of alternative strategies for extraction, preconcentration and isolation of Pu from environmental samples (water, soil and sediment) in order to define the best approaches for use in nuclear emergencies.…”

This is the twenty-forth annual review published in JAAS of the application of atomic spectrometry to the chemical analysis of environmental samples. This Update refers to papers published approximately between September 2007 and August 2008. In the analysis of air, work is focused on the need to collect and characterise ultrafines, i.e. particles below 100 nm in size, and such research is being facilitated through the development of air sampler technologies for subsequent off-line analysis of particles and aerosol mass spectrometric techniques for real-time measurements. In the analysis of water elemental speciation and development of vapour generation techniques for metalloid species continue to attach attention. Data quality and metrological issues are receiving renewed interest in part due to an increase in water quality regulations. In the field of soil and plant analysis, elemental fraction and speciation protocols based upon sequential extraction procedures, chromatographic separation procedures and synchrotron radiation x-ray techniques continue to be utilized and developed. As noted in previous Updates, laser ablation continues to go from strength to strength in being adopted as a solid sampling tool in geochemical analysis. Work continues to be focused on the production, characterization and certification of new geological reference materials.
