FTIR handheld devices, working in the Diffuse Reflectance mode (DRIFT), are promising analytical instruments to perform <italic>in situ</italic> analyses on cultural heritage materials.
Because of the fact that pigments are not ubiquitous in archeological record, application noninvasive analytical methods is a necessity. In this work, pink and purple lake recovered from excavations ancient city Pompeii (Campania, Italy) preserved their original bowls at Naples National Archaeological Museum (Italy) were analyzed to characterize composition inorganic binders (mordants). situ preliminary analyses using hand-held energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (HH-ED-XRF)...
Urban soils are potential reservoirs of toxic metals as a consequence traffic emissions. Sources like brake linings, tyres, road pavement, exhaust fumes, guardrail, signals and other galvanised steel structures used in large variety external constructions the modern urban areas. Their beneficial properties from corrosion oxidation perspective well‐known but less is known about their contribution to environmental fate corrosion‐induced released zinc. In this work, impact guardrails pollutants...
A 5-month experiment was performed to study the accumulation of several inorganic elements in tomato plants cultivated using organic or synthetic fertilizer. Plants were harvested triplicate at six sampling dates during their life cycle. Statistical and chemometric analysis data indicated sequestration toxic Na, Zn, Fe, Co roots, while rest elements, including Cd, mainly translocated aboveground organs. general decreasing trend element concentrations with time observed for most them....
Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (ED-XRF) is widely used in art and cultural heritage for direct measurements elemental quantification of solid samples. However, the literature there are not works dealing with quantitative application ED-XRF to liquid extracts coming from samples belonging heritage. In this work, a novel methodology based on use after thin film deposition special sample retainers subsequent evaporation was developed quantify light elements (Z ≤ 20) aqueous...
Clean air is considered to be a basic requirement of human health and well-being. An increasing range adverse effects has been linked pollution, at ever-lower concentrations. This research shows the newly developed Structural Chemical Analyzer (SCA) successful combination Raman spectroscopy scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-rays that opens up new insight into composition particulate matter (PM). The results obtained with soil lichen samples demonstrate capability technique...
