00154-FEASIBILITY OF ANALYSIS AND SCREENING OF PLASTICS FOR HEAVY METALS WITH PORTBALE X-RAY FLUORESCENCE ANALYZER WITH MINIATURE X-RAY TUBE

We have tested the usefulness of the Field-Portable X-Ray Fluorescence Analyzer in the analysisof plastics and plastic waste for heavy metals such as cadmium, lead and chromium. The resultsobtained with specially fabricated polymer standards, and with samples of plastic scrap, prove that thefundamental parameters method is very effective in handling the vast diversity of type..
