A Novel Approach for the Quantification of Different Inorganic and Organic Phosphorus Compounds in Environmental Samples by P L-Edge X-ray Absorption Near-Edge Structure (XANES) Spectroscopy.

Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for life on Earth, with an important and oftentimes unaccounted organic biogeochemical component. Current methods for the quantification of different organic P compounds in environmental samples (e.g.
