A. Mannan et al., MULTIELEMENT ANALYSIS OF COASTAL MARINE SEDIMENT, AN IAEA PROPOSED REFERENCE MATERIAL (IAEA-356), Geostandards newsletter, 17(2), 1993, pp. 223-226
Proposed standard reference material, coastal marine sediment (IAEA-35
6) recently released under the IAEA Analytical Quality Control Service
s programme, has been analysed by instrumental neutron activation anal
ysis technique. Up to 32 elements have been measured using the multi-e
lement analysis approach. The precision of measurements varied from 1.
3 to 12.5% with median value of 4.9%. The quality control of the data
has been validated by analysing IAEA reference material of similar mat
rix which shows excellent agreement with IAEA values.
