SR XRF Method Used to Study the Ecological State of Technogenic Surroundings in the Novosibirsk Region

Abstract

The method of X-ray fluorescence analysis involving synchrotron radiation (SR XRAF) is used to determine the element composition of soil and plants Hemerocallis hybrida hort., growing in the places of different pollution level in the Novosibirsk Oblast. It has been established that the main element pollutants of a technogenic environment, accumulated in excess concentrations in plant leaves and rhizomes are lead, nickel, iron, titanium, and chromium. The SR XRF method provides the reliable data on the content of 20 micro- and macroelements of the plants Hemerocallis hybrida , in the various industrial and transport conditions of pollution.
