X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry for Field Analysis of Marine Sediments

2006

Dooley, C. A. | Stallard, M. O.

The accuracy, precision, and performance of a field-portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer was evaluated for marine samples. The XRF spectrometer can perform well on board survey vessels and provide a precise, near-real-time determination of metals at levels indicative of pollution in marine sediments obtained by sediment grabs. The resulting capability for on- site decision-making can provide guidance for mapping strategies and detailed sampling.
