CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STUDY OF HEAVY METALS POLLUTING FROM THE ENVIRONMENT, BY ATOMIC SPECTROMETRY

Abstract

"In this scientific work are presented a part of the results included in the thesis entitled "Contributions to the study of heavy polluting elements from the environment by atomic spectrometry" which includes the innovative contributions to the study of the distribution of heavy metals in acacia leaves collected from Dâmbovița county and neighboring counties and the distribution of heavy metals from surface and deep soil collected from the main oil parks in Dâmbovița county. In the analysis of heavy metal concentrations in the studied samples, the spectrometric techniques were used: Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (EDXRF), which were successfully optimized and provided valuable information used in following studies, to assess degree of heavy metal pollution of the environment. These methods were used in a complementary way with the biomonitoring technique in order to have as complete information as possible of the elemental composition of the analyzed samples."
