The Challenge

For Particulate Matter Research (PM) Anthropogenic – Human

impact on the environment ( h i l ti id (e.g., chemicals, pesticides, energy production, and mining)

Geogenic – produced g

p from the Earth by natural processes ( e.g., volcanic ash, windborne ash from wildfires, and mineral dusts) , )

Geoanthropogenic -

produced from natural sources by processes that are modified or enhanced by human activities, e.g., dusts from lakebeds dried by human removal of water)

In Vitro Bioaccessibility Tests (IVBA)

Bioaccessibility – The amount of a toxicant that is soluble in simulated body fluid and available for uptake body fluid and available for uptake. IVBA’s measure bioaccessibility in simulated body fluids

(% Bi ( l h t /t t l )* 100)

  • Fast & Inexpensive
  • Gastric (pH 1 5)

(% Bioaccess. = (conc. leachate/total conc.)* 100) Gastric (pH 1.5)

  • Gastric to Intestinal
  • Lung (pH 7.4)
  • Phagolysosomal (pH 4.5)

g y (p )

  • Linked to detailed mineralogical,

Interferences on Cr Values

  • Cr measured at 52Cr or 53Cr
  • Using normal quadrupole ICP-MS false positives can result due
  • Using normal quadrupole ICP-MS false positives can result due

to interferences at these masses from 40Ar12C and 37Cl16O which are formed in the plasma

  • Use of Dynamic Reaction Cell (DRC) ICP-MS with NH as the

Use of Dynamic Reaction Cell (DRC) ICP-MS with NH3 as the reaction gas can eliminate these interferences giving an accurate concentration for Cr background levels in the fluids

  • NH3 at 0.9 and RPq at 0.65

Conclusions

  • No significant difference between soil size

fractions for metals examined

  • No strong correlations with usual controls on

element mobility in soils

  • IVBA’s are a useful tool within context - particle

characteristics, source apportionment etc.
