Size distribution of trace elements is measured at the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, by analyzing hi-vol impactor samples collected between August 1993 and May 1994. Mass median diameters of marine elements are between 4.6 and 5.3 µm, and those of crustal elements are between 3.0 and 3.5 µm. Mass median diameters of crustal elements are 30% smaller in samples impacted by Saharan Dust. Pollution derived elements, As, Cd, Mo, Pb, Se, and Zn have MMD's between 1.25 and 1.01 µm. Although 70-90% of the masses of these elements were associated with particles smaller than 2.1 µm, 10-30% of their mass was associated with coarse particles. Coarse component in concentrations of Cd, Pb, Sb and particulate Hg are due to adsorption of fine anthropogenic particles on coarse crustal aerosol, whereas coarse fraction Zn, As, Se, In, Mo and Au are crustal at Al concentrations >100 ng m −3 . Bromine, Cr, Ni, and V have bimodal distributions. The fine component, which account for approximately 30-40% of their masses are due to anthropogenic sources, whereas the coarse component, which accounts for 30-50% of their masses are due to sea salt for Br, and crustal particles for Cr, Ni, and V.

“…Indeed, has been shown that aerosol chemical composition over the Black Sea atmosphere was significantly influenced by air masses originating from North Africa, which is a prime source of the atmospheric mineral dust particles. On the other hand, previous studies (Karakaş et al 2002(Karakaş et al , 2004 in the region showed that crustal elements such as Al, Fe, and Ca had higher concentrations in the summer, and this seasonality was attributed to easier resuspension of the soil particles throughout dry summer period. In the present study, nssCa 2+ generally demonstrated lower values in summer 2009 while nssCa 2+ showed higher concentrations in summer 2010.…”

Daily PM10 and PM2.5 samples were collected between April 2009 and July 2010 at a rural site (Sinop) situated on the coast of the Central Black Sea. The concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 were 23.2 ± 16.7 and 9.8 ± 6.9 μg m(-3), respectively. Coarse and fine filters were analyzed for Cl(-), NO3(-), SO4(2-), C2O4(2-), PO4(3-), Na(+), NH4(+), K(+), Mg(2+), and Ca(2+) by using ion chromatography. Elemental and organic carbon content in bulk quartz filters were also analyzed. The highest PM2.5 contribution to PM10 was found in summer with a value of 0.54 due to enhanced secondary aerosols in relation to photochemistry. Cl(-), Na(+), and Mg(2+) illustrated their higher concentrations and variability during winter. Chlorine depletion was chiefly attributed to nitrate. Higher nssCa(2+) concentrations were ascribed to episodic mineral dust intrusions from North Africa into the region. Crustal material (31%) and sea salt (13%) were found to be accounted for the majority of the PM10. The ionic mass (IM), particulate organic matter (POM), and elemental carbon (EC) explained 13, 20, and 3% of the PM10 mass, correspondingly. The IM, POM, and EC dominated the PM2.5 (~74%) mass. Regarding EU legislation, the exceeded PM2.5 values were found to be associated with secondary aerosols, with a particular dominance of POM. For the exceeded PM10 values, six of the events were dominated by dust while two and four of these exceedances were caused by sea salt and mix events, respectively.

“…The combined might of ion chromatography, nuclear and spectrochemical techniques were used for the elemental determination of trace and major elements in seaside aerosols on the Western Black Sea coast of Turkey. 164 A German team 165 sampled aerosol particles in the size range 0.1-25 mm, which were characterised using TXRF, SEM with EDXRF and also TEM with EDXRF and electron diffraction. Some 15 500 particles were classified into 10 different groups: ammonium sulfates, calcium sulfates, sea salt, metal oxides/hydroxides, carbonates, silicates, soot, biological particles, carbon/sulfate mixed particles and carbon rich particles.…”

The review also covers a survey of applications, including sample preparation, geological, environmental, archaeological, forensic, biological, clinical, thin films, chemical state and speciation studies. During the current review period, trends were noted in the increased use of principal component analysis in the assessment of environmental data and chemometrics in the interpretation of XRF data in general, meticulous experimentation to model the emission spectra of X-ray tubes to improve the accuracy of FP correction procedures, a slowdown in reports on the development of ultra-high resolution cryogenic ED detectors, the use of EXAFS and XANES in fluorescence, as opposed to the more traditional absorption mode, continued interest in SR sources and interesting artefact measurements performed using XRF and related instrumentation. Instrumentation General instrumentation and excitation sourcesSeveral developments in the design of commercially available X-ray spectrometers feature in the literature during this review
