Transfer characterization of sulfur from coal-burning emission to plant leaves by PIXE and XANES

The impact of coal-burning emission on sulfur in camphor leaves was investigated using Proton Induced X-ray Emission(PIXE) and synchrotron radiation technique X-ray Absorption Near-Edge Structure(XANES) spectroscopy.The PIXE results show that the sulfur concentrations in the leaves collected at the ...
