Abstract:
The accuracy, precision, and performance of a field-portable x-ray fluorescence XRF spectrometer was evaluated for marine samples. The XRF spectrometer can perform well on board survey vessels and provide a precise, near-real-time determination of metals at levels indicative of pollution in marine sediments obtained by sediment grabs. The resulting capability for on- site decision-making can provide guidance for mapping strategies and detailed sampling.
