Some adsorption/contamination phenomena observed in dilute trace element solutions stored in high-density polyethylene containers

Bibliography: p. 92-97. / A review of the Literature reveals that the concentration of trace metals in natural water samples can be radically altered by adsorption/contamination phenomena within the storage vessel, and that container pre-cleaning and sample acidification and freezing are advisable. Experiments were devised or modified to test whether the locally-produced Polykan 57/500 high-density polyethylene containers were suitable for the storage of aqueous trace element samples which were to be collected in the Karroo Uranium Groundwater Hydrogeochemical Prospecting Project.
