Popis: | The concentrations of chromium (Cr) and zirconium (Zr) in 503 soil samples collected from 78 site in Japan were determined by using two utterly different methods. The first was the relatively widely used inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) combined with digestion with hydrofluoric acid (HF) and perchloric acid (HClO4). The second was a non-destructive polarizing energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometric method (EDXRF) using pressed powder pellets. The Cr concentrations obtained by EDXRF were higher than those obtained by ICP-MS in ~75% of the samples. The EDXRF/ICP-MS ratios ranged from 0.48 to 9.65, and the geometric mean was 1.23. A typical example having big a difference in Cr content between the two methods was found in seven samples taken from a podzolic soil developed on sand dunes in northern Hokkaido. This sampling site is around 20 km from the northern edge of a serpentinite area that extends from north to south, forming the backbone mountain range of Hokkaido. ... |
