Bioaccumulation of platinum group elements and characterization of their species in Lolium multiflorum by size-exclusion chromatography coupled with ICP-MS.

The bioaccumulation of Pt, Pd and Rh by grass grown hydroponically with nutrient solutions containing these ions at elevated (38.7 mg l(-1) Pt, 21.7 mg l(-1) Pd and 7.

Platinum, palladium and rhodium content in road dust, tunnel dust and common grass in Białystok area (Poland): a pilot study.

Automobile traffic is the main source of Pt, Pd and Rh, i.e. platinum-group elements (PGEs), contamination in urban areas and there is growing concern about the effects of these emerging contaminants for people living in these areas.
