Since the discovery of elevated concentrations of selenium in the water, sediments, and biota at the Kesterson Wildlife Refuge, several studies regarding trace element distribution in the San Joaquin Valley and their potential environmental impacts have been initialed. We conducted a reconnaissance investigation to assess the concentration of boron, selenium, arsenic, molybdenum, uranium and vanadium using inductively coupled mass spectroscopy in prominent vegetation in the San Joaquin Valley. Five regions representing a range of geochemical environments with known differences in trace element concentrations in their soils or shallow ground water were selected for plant and soil sampling. Concentrations of boron, selenium arsenic, molybdenum, uranium, and vanadium in soil and tissue will be presented for these geographic areas for alfalfa, almonds, cotton, garlic, grapes, onions, tomatoes, and wheat. Interpretations of the wide range of trace element tissue concentrations that have been found will be discussed.

Pixe Method

Despite intensive investigation, normal and abnormal calcification mechanisms are still poorly understood. In our study we measured the change of main and trace element concentrations across the calcification area of the mandibular cartilage of domestic pigs of different age. The PIXE method was employed for the analysis of the cartilage samples, using a proton beam with an energy of 1700 keV. Concentration values of the elements P, S, Cl, K, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Rb, and Sr were evaluated from the measured spectra. Significant changes of elemental contents across the calcification area could be observed.
