摘要: Various laboratory techniques have been utilized worldwide for measuring lead-210 in sub-recent deposits through its grand-daughter product polonium-210. Isotope dilution alpha spectrometry proved a suitable tool absolute determination of the dating aquatic deposits. Moreover, isotope along with speciation experiments can be used to resolve depositional anomalies arising from supported lead-210/Ra-226 disequilibrium levels and unsupported mobile fractions. sediment peat has critically evaluated more than ten years. Our results show that type, size composition analyzed as well radiochemical procedures used, together counting techniques, are important factors influencing determinations tailing corrections using granddaughter Optimization these parameters is prime importance achieve economic accurate analyses, especially at low concentrations small sample sizes.
