| Abstract | Adsorption of fme suspended material on the surface of aquatic plants may lead to great problems in the interpretation of results for their trace element composition, since it is quite impossible to clean the inorganic material from the biota completely. A carefully designed field experiment was performed in the River Stella in North-Eastem Italy aimed at studying the adsorption of fme suspended material on benthic algae-periphyton. More than 20 elements, were detemined in water, suspended material and biota using k0-INAA, and enrichment factors were calculated for selected elements using Sc as a normalizing element. | |
