Article Synopsis
- Researchers analyzed dried marine macroalgae (Fucus serratus, Palmaria palmata, and Ulva lactuca) for trace elements using a non-destructive Niton FP-XRF spectrometer.
- Detection limits for trace elements like arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) were very low (<5 μg/g) for some species, while others had higher limits for cadmium (Cd), antimony (Sb), and tin (Sn).
- The study found a strong correlation between the trace element concentrations measured by XRF and those obtained through traditional ICP-MS methods, indicating XRF's potential for in-field monitoring of coastal macroalgae.
