Wimmer, A. (author), Ritsema, R. (author), Schuster, M. (author), Krystek, P.W. (author)Detection and quantification of trace elements in aqueous samples is crucial in terms of environmental monitoring and risk assessment for (heavy) metals in the environment. Silver (Ag) in its nanoparticulate form is commonly used as antimicrobial additive in consumer products and pharmaceuticals. Since released dissolved Ag species act as the...article 2019

Krul, L. (author), Kremer, B.H.A. (author), Lucas Luijckx, N.B. (author), Leeman, W.R. (author)The EU Food Supplements Directive (2002/46/EC) mandates the determination of both maximum and minimum permitted levels (MPLs) for micronutrients. In order to determine MPLs which are feasible for particular population groups, a scientific approach should be used in which risk of high intake, risk of inadequacy and benefits are assessed in an...article 2017

Pit, I.R. (author), Dekker, S.C. (author), Kanters, T.J. (author), Wassen, M.J. (author), Griffioen, J. (author)To enhance protection and maintain wide beaches for recreation, beaches are replenished with sand: socalled beach nourishments. We compared four sites: two traditional beach nourishments, a mega beach nourishment and a reference without beach nourishment. Two sites contain calcareous-rich sand, whereas the other two sites have calcareous-poor...article 2017

Compositional variation in Roman colourless glass objects from the bocholtz burial (the Netherlands)Huisman, D.J. (author), de Groot, T. (author), Pols, S. (author), van Os, B.J.H. (author), Degryse, P. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)We investigated the major and trace element composition and Pb and Sr isotope characteristics of a series of about 20 colourless glass objects from a single high-status Roman burial from the Netherlands (Bocholtz). The major elements show a relatively homogeneous group, with one outlier. This is corroborated by the Sr isotopes. Based on the Sb...article 2009

Vink, J.P.M. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)The speciation of heavy metals was measured over a variety of natural and undisturbed water/sediment interfaces. Simultaneously, two benthic species (oligochaete Limnodrilus spp. and the midge Chironomus riparius) were exposed to these sediments. Under occurring redox conditions, free ion activities of trace metals Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn were...article 2009

(author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Geochemical studies on Upper Carboniferous marine bands showed that marked enrichment in redox-sensitive trace elements (uranium (U), vanadium (V), molybdenum (Mo)) mostly occur if they contain Goniatites. Goniatites indicate deposition in relatively distal and deep marine environments. In contrast, Westphalian marine bands found in the...article 2008
