Micro trace elements in the squid statolith, a calcareous stone which acts as a balancer and hearing, was analyzed with Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) for the Japanese common squid for the first time. Calcium is the main component of the squid statoliths, which means that squid statolith is the pure calcified structure similar to the fish otolith. Beside Ca, Sr was detected with strong dosage, and some other elements as Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn and As were also detected. Possible assumption of intake of microelemts to the statoliths and the suitability of PIXE for statoliths analysis are discussed.

Mineral trace element concentration of human saliva from healthy volunteers, were investigated by Proton-Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) analysis. The specimens were bombarded with Proton beams of 2 MeV from a Van de Graaff accelerator at NRC . The object of this measurement was to find a normal range of trace element concentration for Iranian people.

Pixe Method

Trace element concentrations in short necked clam Ruditapes philippinarum marked shells with iron rusting were determined by particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) method. Element such as Ca, Mn, Fe, Zn, Sr, and Br were detected in the shells. The Fe/Ca X-ray intensity ratio decreased exponentially on the day after marking. It was concluded that the higher Fe concentration on marked clams was caused by attached iron rusting. The concentrations of Fe, Br, and Sr differed among the 3 stations (Kamaya, Shigaki, and Iwatani), suggesting that elemental concentrations may be related to the growth of clams.

Qualitative And Quantitative Study

In investigating drug addiction and its side effects from a social health point of view, the attention is usually focused on the drug itself. Yet trace amounts of other elements may have side effects no less harmful than addiction itself. The knowledge of these elements can be of help in the cure of drug addiction. The purpose of this study is to determine the trace elements in some drugs by methods of nuclear analysis. In this study, the Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) techniques have been applied to measure the elemental composition and concentration of 55 opium, hashish and ecstasy pill samples. PIXE analysis shows the samples contain various elements including Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, Fe, Cu, Zn, Rb and Sr .

The use of particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis as a standard analytical tool in the study of trace elements is well known. In the present investigation, an attempt is made to correlate human diseases with the presence or absence of trace elements and/or the changes in their concentration in healthy and diseased tissues. If such correlations do actually exist, trace element analysis could certainly be used as a diagnostic tool for the early detection of diseases and there is considerable interest in such information.

Coins are important archaeological objects and analysis of metallic compositions of coins can provide valuable information regarding coin minting, methodology, classification, provenance, art, culture and economics of the minting time. In-air Proton Induced X-ray emission (PIXE) is a good scientific method for non-destructive analysis of coins preserved in museum. Selected ten Kushana copper coins (3rd-4th century A. D.) from the Orissa State Museum, Bhubaneswar have been analysed, for the first time as preliminary work, by using an external beam PIXE facility at Institute of Physics. Our study reveals that copper is the main constituent of the Kushana coins, with minor/trace elements like titanium, iron, and nickel, zinc, lead and bismuth.

Fish Otoliths

PIXE was adopted to analyze trace elements in otoliths of Japanese flounder to discriminate among several local fish stocks. The otoliths were removed from samples caught at five different sea areas along with the coast of the Sea of Japan: Akita, Ishikawa, Kyoto (2 stations), and Fukuoka. Besides calcium as main component, strontium, manganese, and zinc were detected. Especially Sr concentrations were different among 4 areas except between 2 stations in Kyoto. It suggested that the fish in the 2 stations in Kyoto were the same stock differed to the others.
