Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the thorium (Th) and uranium (U) quantification in soil employing a commercial routine in a portable X‐ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectrometer. Certified reference materials (CRMs), as well as a soil sample set, were measured by pXRF and gamma‐ray spectrometry. The pXRF results showed that the thorium average detection and quantification limits (in mg kg−1) were 3.3 ± 0.5 and 11.0 ± 1.7, respectively. The uranium values were 3.0 ± 0.4 and 9.9 ± 1.3. Quantitative pXRF results for Th wer… Show more
