PIXE and XRF analysis of marine sediments

Concentration levels of more than 20 elements (from K to Pb) have been determined using 3 MeV PIXE and XRF nuclear analytical techniques. Available Standard reference materials are found to have an acceptable degree of homogeneity and could be used in quality control of measured data. The method has been applied to the analysis of sediments from the Punat lagoon, island Krk in the Adriatic Sea, Croatia. In both cases, levels of trace elements from natural and human activities are found to be of importance.
