Temporal variability of tungsten and cobalt in Fallon, Nevada. [PDF]
Environ Health Perspect, 2007 BACKGROUND: Since 1997, Fallon, Nevada, has experienced a cluster of childhood leukemia that has been declared “one of the most unique clusters of childhood cancer ever reported.” Multiple environmental studies have shown airborne tungsten and cobalt to ...

Early- and Latewood vs. Stem Asymmetry: Which Is More Important for Dendrochemistry in Scots Pine? [PDF]
ForestsFor dendrochemical research, it may be important to be aware of the effects of stem asymmetry and the intra-ring structure because these may introduce unwanted dispersion in the results. In dendrochemical studies, separate analysis of the elemental content of early- and latewood is rare.

The Application of Dendrochemistry to Assess Recent Changes in Environmental Chemistry of Urban Areas [PDF]
ForestsDendrochemistry was applied to a small town, Taylorville, Illinois, which has a superfund site and apparently more cases of cancer than expected based on background rates. As an ecologic study, dendrochemistry is not intended to unequivocally associate particular elements to specific illnesses, but rather dendrochemistry serves more generally to ...

Through they Eyes of a Tree: Monitoring Environmental Change Using Stable Isotope Dendrochemistry
, 2013 Stable isotope dendrochemistry of needles, twigs, and tree rings were used to identify the impacts of a changing global atmosphere in two separate environments with different anthropogenic loads: the boreal forest surrounding the Athabasca Oil Sands region (AOSR), Alberta, Canada, subject to a large point source of anthropogenic emissions, and the ...

Some considerations in the reconstruction of lead levels using laser ablation: lessons from the design stage of dendrochemistry study, St.John's, Canada [PDF]
Geochronometria, 2015 Study of soils in St. John’s, Canada showed elevated Pb levels representing a potential ex-posure risk for young children. Old trees growing in the city present a potential annually-resolved record of Pb levels over past centuries that provides important temporal and spatial dimensions to Pb exposure risk assessment.

The use of dendrochemistry to reveal pollution history
, 2013 Tree rings provide a record of environmental change within the biological requirements of tree survival. Dendrochemistry has successfully applied several analytical techniques for solidstate analysis (e.g., energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), particle-induced X-ray emission), analysis of wood extracts or digests (e.g., inductively coupled ...
