“…With the increasing severity of environmental degradation in the SHP region, it is of great interest to attempt to extend the applications of modern tools such as the portable X-ray fluorescence (PXRF) for a more rapid investigation of environmental contamination, particularly relating to soil salinization in golf course facilities. This tool is gaining importance in the fields of soil and environmental sciences (Kilbride et al, 2006;Jang, 2010;McWhirt et al, 2012;Gardner et al, 2013;Hu et al, 2014;Weindorf et al, 2014). Swanhart et al (2015) demonstrated the utility of applying PXRF to soil salinity determination.…”

Evaluating management-induced soil salinization in golf courses in semi-arid landscapes

Abstract. Site-specific information on land management practices are often desired to make better assessments of their environmental impacts. A study was conducted in Lubbock, Texas, in the Southern High Plains of the United States, an area characterized by semi-arid climatic conditions, to (1) examine the potential management-induced alterations in soil salinity indicators in golf course facilities and (2) develop predictive relationships for a more rapid soil salinity examination within these urban landscape soils using findings from a portable X-ray fluorescence (PXRF) spectrometer. Soil samples were collected from managed (well irrigated) and non-managed (non-irrigated) areas of seven golf course facilities at 0-10, 10-20, and 20-30 cm depths and analyzed for a suite of chemical properties. Among the extractable cations, sodium (Na) was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in the managed zones of all the golf facilities. Soil electrical conductivity (EC), exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP), and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), parameters often used in characterizing soil salinity and sodicity, were for the most part significantly (p < 0.05) higher in the managed areas. Water quality reports collected over a 22-year period (1991-2013, all years not available) indicated a gradual increase in pH, EC, SAR, total alkalinity, and extractable ions, thus supporting the former findings. Findings from the PXRF suggested possible differences in chemical species and sources that contribute to salinity between the managed and non-managed zones. PXRF-quantified Cl and S, and to a lesser extent Ca, individually and collectively explained 23-85 % of the variability associated with soil salinity at these facilities.

To this purpose Field Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (FP-XRF) equipments have been applied given their reliable and rapid heavy metal measurement which allows to quickly delineate in situ metal contamination at a screening level [5,6]. In addition, high volume of field test can be monitored to determine the spatial distribution and degree of heterogeneity of heavy metals in an undisturbed position while offsite analytical costs are minimized without destruction of the samples [7,8].…”

Abstract:The present study represents a first insight into the Draa Lasfar mine (Marrakech) to assess the possible diffusion of heavy metals and to predict the risk of their mobility in the surroundings of the mine area. The edaphologic parameters pH, electrical conductivity (EC), loss on ignition (LOI) and CaCO 3 were measured according to standard methods, whilst heavy metals concentration was determined by FP-XRF. Concentration enrichment ratios (CER) were calculated in order to estimate the anthropogenic contribution of target pollutants determining As, Cu, Pb and Zn as the main pollutants, whereas Ba, Ca, Fe, K, Mn, Rb, Sr, Ti and Zr were considered lithogenic components. GIS contour maps of pollutants using CER data, showed the most polluted areas at the vicinity of the mine, especially at the northwest area, probably linked to weathering effects and topography of the area. Particle size studies revealed that As, Pb and Zn are part of the mineral ore while Cu behavior corresponded to an anthropogenic origin. Additionally, mobility assays employing single leaching tests indicated a greater mobility of As and Zn rather than that of Pb and Cu due to their lower adsorption process in the soil, independently of their respective concentration.
