Abstract The contents of selected elements (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Hg and Pb) in samples of loose tea of agrimony “Repikovy čaj” (Agrimonia eupatoria L.) were studied in this work. Identification and determination of the selected elements content were performed using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry - the nuclear analytical method based on the interaction between low-energy gamma and X radiation and analysed substance. Solid form samples were pressed in tablets and directly analysed. Prepared infusions were analysed after the preconcentration of the elements using precipitation with thioacetamide and ammonium diethyldithiocarbamate with subsequent filtration of created precipitates through a nitrocellulose filter. Detection limits obtained from both methods were compared and their suitability for elemental analysis of plant preparations was discussed.

The recent methodological developments and particularly the recent applications of nuclear analytical techniques (mainly PIXE and INAA) for measuring minor and trace elements in various types of environmental samples are reviewed. The sample types covered range from atmospheric aerosols over miscellaneous air topics (e.g., emissions, wet and dry deposition) to various solid environmental materials and samples from the aqueous environment. A fairly comprehensive overview is given of the research on atmospheric aerosols. For the other sample types, the trends in the research are indicated and selected examples of applications are presented. It is shown that the nuclear analytical techniques are very valuable for the multielement analysis of solid environmental samples. Furthermore, PIXE is particularly suitable for analyzing atmospheric aerosol samples.
