Description

Fifty individual food types were analysed by instrumental and radiochemical neutron activation analysis as well as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry after testing all techniques by analysing IAEA mixed human diet, H-9. The performance of these trace element techniques and their limitations were evaluated under normal, routine, multielement surveys of a large range of solid biological materials.
