Abstract
Concentrations of Al, Br, Ca, Ce, Co, Cr, Eu, Fe, Hf, La, Lu, Mg, Mn, Na, Rb, Sc, Sm, Sr, Tb, Th, Ti, V, Yb, Zn, and Zr have been measured in Tigris and Euphrates river water, using neutron activation analysis in combination with preconcentration technique. River water samples were preconcentrated by evaporation at 70°C under atmospheric pressure. The samples with standard reference materials were irradiated with a neutron flux of 2.3·1013 n·cm−2·s−1.
