Water is the most important source of minerals for both human beings and animals. But at the same time, water is also a source of disease due to the contamination of various elements. Therefore, knowledge of the elemental content of water is important. In this work, water samples were collected from areas around Chandigarh and Bathinda district, Panjab, India. Proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) and proton-induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE) techniques were used for the determination of heavy and light trace elements, respectively, in wide varieties of water samples. A large number of elements, namely F, Na, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, As, Pb , and U were detected in the samples and results are discussed.

ABSTRACTProton-induced X-ray emmision and proton-induced gamma-ray emission analyses have been used to determine the elemental content of four oil fly ash samples collected from the flue line of an oil-fired power plant. X-ray absorption spectroscopy was used to characterize the vanadium and nickel compounds present in the fly ash. Vanadium was present primarily as VOSO4·3H2O and nickel was present as a mixture of NiSO4 and NiO.

In this work a complex study of the capabilities Particle Induced X-Ray emission(PIXE) technique for the determination of minor constituents of aerosol samples has been done.The PIXE experiments were carried out at Cyclotron at Department of Physics, Panjab University Chandigarh using ~2.7MeV proton beam. The X-rays were detected with the help of low energy HPGE detector. Total fifteen samples were collected from various locations in Chandigarh.The minor elements identified in the aerosol samples wereS,Cl,K,Ca,Ti,Cr,Mn,Fe,Ni,Zn,V,Br and Pb. The data analysis was done using GUPIX software to extract the quantity of the trace elements.

Abstract We applied energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence to the determination of abnormally present elements or abnormal concentrations of elements in human broncho-alveolar lavage fluids. The low detection limits and the ability to perform multi-elemental analysis permit one to establish or confirm occupational exposure of workers. We also describe different methods used to check our method and our results. We report examples of abnormal compositions of broncho-alveolar lavages containing W, Ce, La, Nd, I, Fe, or Ni. We discuss the limits of the method for characterizing silicosis or asbestosis.
