Abstract

Five samples of plankton from the Novosibirsk reservoir are collected and analyzed by X-ray fluorescence. In combination with high sensitive atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), quantitative data on the concentrations of 52 chemical elements in plankton are obtained. Scanning electron microscopy is used to analyze the elemental composition of plankton samples from the Novosibirsk reservoir. This enables us to reveal the nature of the possible presence of minerals (of biogenic or terrigenous origin) that increase the ash content in the samples under study. The results of the studies provide an answer to the methodical question of whether the ash content of plankton samples is mostly determined by the presence of terrigenous elements in it or is in general formed by constitutional (biogenic) elements of skeletal and dermal tissues of planktonic organisms.
