Abstract
AbstractA specific XRF method, developed at the Soreq Nuclear Research Centre, was applied to the determination of bromine in blood. The method is based on excitation with a Mo X-ray tube and detection of the fluorescent Br K X-rays by a Si (Li) detector. Serum microsamples (300 μL) are counted directly, without drying, for 100 sec, The detection limit obtained under these conditions is 0.6 ppm Br, The overall precision of the method was found to be ±3.1%. The different parameters which contribute to the total error of the method were studied, A survey of the bromine concentration in the blood serum of industrial workers exposed to bromine compounds was carried out.
