“…The Spearman rank correlation coefficient values were low (< 0.45). Other studies also suggested the independence of metal accumulation from the soil properties (Brzostowski et al, 2011;Kojta and Falandysz, 2016;Ivanić et al 2019). However, we found strong correlations between the bioaccumulation factors and the carbonate content of the soil (r < -0.60), for almost all the elements with high BAF values, and generally weaker correlation with the organic matter content and the pH of the soil.…”

“…At present, electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) are the two main methods for determining trace Pb in soils, sediments, and rocks in geological analysis laboratories. [7][8][9][10][11] Although the ICP-MS method has the advantages of low detection limits and simultaneous multi-element analysis, the ETAAS method remains the preferred method for Pb determination in most laboratories because of its low cost, relative simplicity, and the ability for the direct determination of Pb in complex matrices. 12 Sample preparation is the most time-consuming step.…”

Lead (Pb) is a non-essential but extremely noxious metallic element, which is important for the assessment of environmental pollution. A simple and high throughput method involving fast heat extraction slurry sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (HESS-GFAAS) was developed to detect trace Pb content in geological standard reference materials (SRMs). Compared with the traditional digestion method, the HESS-GFAAS method greatly reduces the time of sample pretreatment. The HESS-GFAAS technique improved Pb recovery and precision compared to conventional slurry sampling techniques. This optimized HESS-GFAAS procedure was performed as follows: first, the sample was added into 1 mL HNO3, 1 mL HCl and 1 mL HF, followed by heating for 30 min at 120 ℃ on a heating block; Next, dilute the solution with 50 mL water, and finally, the solution was introduced into a graphite tube with Pd(NO3)2-NH4H2PO4 as the mixed matrix modifier and analyzed by the GFAAS with a Pb electrodeless discharge lamp (EDL). To eliminate the interface of the geological sample matrix, the method of additions calibrate was used for Pb determination in geological samples. The results for 20 of these materials were in good agreement with the reference values. The characteristic mass and limit of detection for Pb based on the integrated absorbance for a 0.2% (m/v) sample were 14.8 ± 0.8 pg and 0.035 mg kg-1 , respectively. The accuracy (96.05-102.4% recovery) and precision (0.13-2.07%) of this procedure are illustrate by the results obtained for the 20 geological reference materials. The proposed method shows great potential for the determination of trace Pb in geological samples.

“…Mosses are suitable for monitoring the ambient changes in the environment, since they have widespread geographical distribution and "evergreen phase" during the year. They also have high surface in comparison to volume and slowly grow with little morphological changes during the lifespan (Aceto et al, 2003;Ivanić et al, 2019;Fernandez & Carballeira, 2000).…”

This paper deals with investigations of elemental concentrations and soil-to-moss transfer factors of radionuclides in area of municipalities Kosovska Mitrovica and Zubin Potok. Twelve samples of soil and moss Hypnum cupressiforme Hedw. were collected during May 2018. Transfer factors of radionuclides: 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs were calculated with regard to elemental concentrations of radionuclides in soil and moss samples. Analysis was done in order to indicate the different ways of adopting radionuclides by mosses. According to calculated transfer factors and analysis, authors concluded that the soil is dominant source of natural radionuclides and their concentration in moss occurred due to resuspension of soil particles, while artificial 137Cs is present in soil and moss samples as a consequence of atmospheric dry and wet deposition.
