The results of the floodplain soils study on the spatial distribution of selected trace elements in top soils (0 – 30 cm) and sub soils (> 30 – 100 cm) near Ala River, Akure metropolis, are reported. The objectives of this study are to determine the concentration of trace elements in the top and bottom soils, and identify the possible enrichment sources of these elements in the floodplain area. Forty two samples (top soil 21; sub soil 21) were collected for the study. The samples were air dried at room temperature, disaggregated and sieved using 53 µg mesh size. The prepared samples were further digested using modified aqua regia of (1:1:1 HNO3: HCL: H2O). The digests were subjected to elemental analysis using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Emission Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The trace elements concentration in ppm exhibited the following distribution pattern. Cu range in ppm from 6.0 – 53.0 mean 27.43; Pb, 10.0 – 165.0, mean 58.43; Zn, 29.0 – 479.0 mean 223.1; Ni, 10.0 – 20.0, mean 14.86; Co, 16.0 – 33.0, mean 24.29; Mn, 250.0 – 1615.0, mean 983.29; Th 9.0 – 19.0, mean 14.43; V, 35.0 – 89.0, mean 73.05; La 26.0 – 84.0, mean 56.76 and Cr 11.0 – 60.0 mean 40.43. While the result for the sub soils range in ppm, Cu from 3.0 – 51.0, mean 21.24; Pb, 7.0 – 208.0, mean 56.33; Zn, 21.0 - 460.0. mean 149.14; Ni, 8.0 – 29.0, mean 13.76; Co, 12.0 – 37.0, mean 23.95; Mn, 138.0 – 2283.0, mean 806.43; Th 9.0 – 28.0, mean 17.48; V, 40.0 – 105.0, mean 68.71; La 25.0 – 96.0, mean 61.00 and Cr 12.0 – 58.0 mean 35.38. The results of both the top soils and sub soils showed higher concentration metal enrichment than the average shale values. The relative elemental mean concentration is such that Mn> Zn > V > La > Pb > Cr > Co > Cu > Th > Ni in that order. Elements such as Cu, Zn, Pb, V, Mn, Th and Cr had relatively moderate to very strong correlation coefficient (r = 0.54 0.97) with each other, which apparently indicate that these elements are of same source of enrichment in the floodplain. Pb, Zn, V, La, Th and Cr are elements that are of significant environmental concerns.

Accurate Procedure

Abstract This rapid, accurate procedure for trace elements and electrolytes in serum requires little sample preparation: to 1 mL of serum a single reagent is added that contains trichloroacetic and hydrochloric acids for protein precipitation, hydroxylamine sulfate for iron reduction, and yttrium as the internal standard. After centrifugation, the supernates are directly analyzed for Na, K, Mg, Ca, Pi, Fe, Cu, and Zn by inductively-coupled plasma emission spectrometry. The CVs were respectively 7.9%, 8.4%, 8.6%, 10.0%, 9.0%, 9.4%, 9.0%, and 9.0% for five assays of National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard Reference Material (SRM) no. 1598, Bovine Serum. Analytical recoveries ranged from 92% to 107% for both SRM 1598 and commercial control serum.

Highly Correlated

Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides) samples were deployed at 36 locations in a 6 × 6-grid system in northeastern Texas during the summer months of 1989 and again in the winter months of 1990. Analytical methods, including inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP) and neutron activation analysis (NAA), were used in analyzing samples for sulfur, selenium, arsenic, sodium, and aluminum. Concentrations of most elements in Spanish moss samples were much higher in summer than winter. The highest concentrations of sulfur were found in Van Zandt, Wood, Titus, and Bowie counties. These results suggest that on average sulfur stays in the region in which it was generated. Potassium and sodium were highly correlated with latitude and seem to originate from the Gulf of Mexico.

<p class="Default">This study presents the spatial distribution of 69 elements in the surface water of the Bregalnica river basin. The concentration of elements was determined using inductively coupled plasma with mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The data summary results were reduced with the application of multivariate factor analysis, whereupon three dominant geochemical associations were obtained: F1 (Ca-K-Mg-Na-Ba-Li-Mn-Sr-V), F2 (Al-Fe) and F3 (Sb). Anthropogenic enrichments of Pb and Zn occur in the Pb-Zn mine area. The obtained data exceeded the maximum allowed concentrations in accordance with the national regulation for surface water quality. Trace elements including REEs were significantly correlated with the dominant geological formations characteristic of the different sub-regions in the investigated area.</p>
