Lumex Instruments analyzer helped to identify the sources of mercury in the Siberian tigers
During the research, scientists find out that the total mercury content in tigers’ fur is higher in coastal area comparing to inland. The similar mercury distribution was found in lichens. Authors consider several possible reasons for mercury accumulation in coastal tigers population: such as dietary (difference in fish consumption), methylmercury air transfer with the ocean’s ...

`Chemical fingerprints` could reveal source of mercury pollution
Scientists have described a new method for tracking down the source of mercury pollution from burning coal. By analysing the chemistry of the pollution, it is possible to identify which region the coal was originally from. Mercury pollution in the atmosphere comes mainly from coal-fired power stations and chemical plants. Mercury is naturally present in coal and is emitted when it is burned as ...

ASTM D7758 - 11 Standard Practice for Passive Soil Gas Sampling in the Vadose Zone for Source Identification, Spatial Variability Assessment, Monitoring, and Vapor Intrusion Evaluations
Passive soil gas samplers are a minimally invasive, easy-to-use technique in the field for identifying VOCs and SVOCs in the vadose zone. Similar to active soil gas and other field screening techniques, the simplicity and low cost of passive samplers enables them to be applied in large numbers, facilitating detailed mapping of contamination across a site, for the purpose ...
