Abstract | Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was applied to bottom sediments obtained from 17 locations (small and large rivers, a canal, coastal waters, and a bay) within the United States to determine the applicability of INAA to water pollution studies. Irradiations of 30 seconds and 60 minutes, followed by three pulse-height analyses of gamma radiation, detected and measured up to 43 elements including most elements of interest. Decay times did not exceed seven days. Sample handling was minimal. Elements readily analyzed are Al, As, Au, Ba, Br, Cl, Co, Cr, Dy, Fe, K, La, Mg, Mn, Na, Sb, Sm, Th, Ti, and V.
