Multielemental Characterization of Airborne Particulate Matter Collected in Bucharest and Tokushima by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry and Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry

Multielement quantification and Pb isotope analysis of the certified reference material ERM-CZ120 for fine particulate matter

“…Literature values are from the report by Honda and Hioki (2020) values are from the distributor, the literature values are from Yabutani et al (2010), the literature values for the Pb isotope ratios are from Aung et al (2004) and Mukai and Ambe (1990), and the literature values for the LOI are from Honda and Hioki (2020). The observed values' average and uncertainties were calculated according to the same method used for ERM-CZ120.…”

“…8 was ~80% and speculated that the most carbon in this CRM was included in graphite. Yabutani et al (2010) reported that HClO 4 has a highly oxidative ability and high boiling point that prevent the loss of insoluble species. It can be speculated that the average observed values lower than the certified values for Mg, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Cd are due to interference to the digestion of grains, including the grains of these elements, by the incompletely digested graphite in [HNO 3 + H 2 O 2 + HF] microwave digestion.…”

“…Many studies have shown a positive correlation between fine PM's mass concentration in ambient air and health hazard (e.g., Dockery, 1993) way to do this is by comparing observed values with those of certified reference materials (CRMs), such as SRM1648a (urban aerosol) and NIES CRM No. 8 (vehicle exhaust PM) (e.g., Suzuki et al, 2010;Yabutani et al, 2010). However, these CRMs were issued before the 2000s, and their matrices do not necessarily resemble that of fine PM.…”

Study of Multielemental Adsorption on Activated Carbon

“…Water pollution is still a major problem in the global context, especially in the developing countries [1,2] . The treatment of heavy metals polluted waters is a great concern because of their high toxicity to plants, animals and human beings.…”

Development and Preliminary Application of Monoclonal Antibody against Heavy Metal Cadmium Ion

“…In recent years, various methods for determination of Cd 2+ , such as atomic absorption spectroscopy(AAS) [4], inductively coupled plasma(ICP) [5], hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry(HG-AFS) [6] and neutron activation analysis(NAA) [7] have been developed. Although these instrument analytical methods are highly accurate, specific and sensitive, but they require expensive instruments, wellcontrolled experimental conditions, frequent maintenance and calibration, they are time-consuming, labor-intensive, expensive and difficult to perform.…”
