Abstract
In order to examine the feasibility of the adsorbed compounds on the pine needles for environmental monitoring of uranium, the adsorbed compounds were recovered by solvent washing, and the elemental concentrations in the compounds were compared with those of air particles and pine needles. It was found, that the concentration patterns of elements in the compounds corresponded to those of air particles, which meant that the air particles were the main components of the compounds. The analysis by ICP-MS suggested that the uranium in the compounds has a natural composition. Therefore, the adsorbed compounds to the pine needles can be considered as potential indicators for the environmental monitoring of uranium.
