Abstract:
The possibility of determining the total content of heavy metals in the liquid phase of snow was researched by X-ray fluorescence analysis with preconcentration of elements determined by sorption DETATA filters. Optimal conditions for the analysis, providing a minimum error of determination have been chosen and justified. The contribution was made by the stage of concentration in the overall error of the method. A pollution monitoring of snow cover in the five districts of Samara was carried out.
Keywords:X-ray fluorescence analysis, sorption DETATA filters, heavy metals, liquid phase of snow, influence of concentration stage method on error.
