Osmium isotope geochemistry of steel plant emissions using tree bark biomonitoring [PDF]

Environmental Pollution, 2021
We report for the first time the Os isotopic composition of tree bark samples from a steel town. Osmium concentrations and 187Os/188Os isotopic ratios of ashed bark samples range from 1.40 to 24 ppt and 0.70 to 1.54, respectively, with the lowest 187Os/188Os recorded in samples close to the steel plant.
