Abstract
The combined application of instrumental-, radiochemical- and prompt g amma neutron activation analysis to two spruce shoot materials from th e German Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB) resulted in information on 50 elements, covering more than 50% of the total mass. Comparison of t he element concentrations in the 'fingerprint' mode clearly indicated a different status of heavy metal pollution at the two distinct collec ting sites.
