Review Methods for the determination of platinum group elements originating from the abrasion of automotive catalytic converters
Anthropogenic emission of platinum group elements (PGEs) from the abrasion of automotive catalytic converters into the environment has significantly increased. However, the concentration level of these PGEs (i.e. Pd, Pt, Rh) is still very low in the nature. Accordingly, their determination and speciation in various environmental compartments appears to be a challenging task for analytical chemi...
متن کاملAccumulation of Platinum Group Elements
Accumulation of Platinum Group Elements by the Marine Microalga, Chlorella stigmatophora Leyla Shams Very little information exists on the marine biogeochemistry of Rh, Pd and Pt, or the platinum group elements (PGE), an emerging group of contaminants whose priiicipal emissions are associated with the abrasion of the catalytic converter in motor vehicles and chemotherapy drugs discharged in hos...
متن کاملEmerging contaminants in raw water supply in the east of Tehran
Emerging contaminant in drinking water has created concerns among public, water supplier and government. Pharmaceutical in water and food even in low concentration have shown potential risks to human. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are among a set of the most prescribed drugs in the world. In this study raw water and treated drinking water from Latyan drinking water treatment facilities were analy...
متن کاملAmbient pollutants as adjuvant for allergic sensitization: the emerging role of platinum group elements.
The prevalence of asthma and allergies often observed in urban metropolitan areas as compared to rural and farm communities is still an enigma. Westernized life styles, type of farming and exposure to environmental pollutants seem to simultaneously interact in the determination of this phenotype in genetically predisposed individuals. In this scenario, we asked whether and to what extent we cou...
متن کاملFractionation of Platinum Group Elements in Carboneceous Chondrites
Introduction: Although chondrites are among the most primitive materials accessible to us, their chemical compositions are highly variable among groups of chondrites, reflecting several fractionation processes including condensation and accretion processes in the early solar system. Considering that CI chondrites represent a solar system standard in the elemental abundance [1] and that calcium ...
