Abstract
Basic considerations for the sensitive application of PGCNAA to biological materials in general are outlined. Some examples are given where the method has particular advantages over other analytical approaches related to the characterization of Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB) material. As a nuclear technique the method is nondestructive, rapid; and inexpensive when a beam of cold neutrons is available. The instrument is easy and fast installed and the amount of information obtained per spectrum is large. Certain elements like H, N, B, S and some rare earth elements cannot be nondestructively determined by other analytical techniques so far.
