Copper, a native metal found in ores, is the principal metal in bronze and brass. It is a
reddish metal with a density of 8920 kg m− 3. All of copper's compounds tend to be brightly …

Metals in soil are potentially harmful to humans and ecosystems. Stable isotope
measurement may provide “fingerprint” information on the sources of metals. In light of the …

Quantitative identification of heavy metals (HM) sources in soils is key to prevention and
control of heavy metal pollution. In this study, UNMIX, PMF (Positive matrix factorization) …

The commonly used, but no longer available, reference materials NIST SRM 976 (Cu) and
'JMC Lyon'(Zn) were calibrated against the new reference materials ERM®‐AE633, ERM® …

Copper and Zn metals are produced in large quantities for different applications. During Cu
production, large amounts of Cu and Zn can be released to the environment. Therefore, the …

Zinc (Zn) is a trace element that is, as a building block in various enzymes, of vital
importance for all living organisms. Zn concentrations are widely determined in dietary …

Zn isotopic fractionation caused by sorption on 2-Lines ferrihydrite (Fh2L) and goethite was
investigated to assess the role of reactions at the Fe-oxyhydroxide/water interface in …

Zn isotopes were used to trace the anthropogenic sources in the Lot watershed (Aveyron,
SW France) where a small river, the Riou Mort drains an industrial exploitation of zinc ore …

The use of zinc isotopes to trace anthropogenic sources in coastal areas has been tested in
this study. We determined the stable isotopic composition of zinc in sediment cores …

The present paper examines the use of zinc isotopes as tracers of atmospheric sources and
focuses on the potential fractionation of Zn isotopes through anthropogenic processes. In …
