Iodine-129 levels have been published for biological matrices that naturally accumulate iodine such as animal thyroid and kelp. However, published procedures have insufficient sensitivity to determine^^^l in other environmental and biological species. A unique procedure has been developed for the determination of^^^i which couples neutron activation with mass separation. The procedure results in a significant improvement in sensitivity, thus allowing analyses to be performed on a variety of matrices which heretofore had not been investigated. Method development and analytical procedures are presented and analytical results at the lO'^^-lO"^"* gram^^^I level are given.
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.
