Abstract
Concentration levels of more than 20 elements (from K to Pb) have been determined using 3 MeV PIXE and XRF nuclear analytical techniques. Av ailable Standard reference materials are found to have an acceptable d egree of homogeneity and could be used in quality control of measured data. The method has been applied to the analysis of sediments from th e Punat lagoon, island Krk in the Adriatic Sea, Croatia. In both cases , levels of trace elements from natural and human activities are found to be of importance.
