Description

The paper discusses the possibilities of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and INAA in the investigation of environmental pollutions. The X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy of samples was performed using the MECA-1044A analyzer. NAA was carried out on the basis of two reactors: IBR-2 LNP JINR, Dubna, and TWR ITEP, Moscow. To illustrate the perspectives of the methods, the ecological problem of the consequences of introducing meliorator CaSO4x2H2O into soil is solved. Data on absorption of trace elements including rare-earth elements by agricultural plants are presented. (author) 5 refs.; 5 tabs
