| Abstract | 90Sr appears as a radionuclide in the decay series of nuclear fission and can therefore be found in nuclear waste or released by nuclear accidents. Current methods for the detection of this radionuclide are time consuming and may be prone to a large variety of interferents. In this work, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is explored for the determination of 90Sr in the presence of stable zirconium in urine. Specific techniques are investigated to remove this as well as other contributions to the background at m/z = 90. A quadrupole ICP-MS equipped with a hexapole collision cell is first explored (final LOD = 2 ng L−1 for water samples), however, the desired limit of detection for 90Sr in urine is quite low (0.02 pg L−1). The performance of a double-focusing sector field ICP mass spectrometer (ICP-SFMS) is further investigated, which allows measurement of 90Sr at the ultratrace level. Other potential interferences were investigated and instrumental detection limits are calculated as 3 pg L−1 for water samples. Final parameters include the use of a cool plasma and medium mass resolution in ICP-SFMS. The method is applied to the analysis of 90Sr extracted from urine using a crown ether extraction resin and concentrated (enrichment factor: 200); high levels of natural strontium in the separated fraction (of about 1 µg mL−1) equate to higher detection limits (80 pg L−1) due to 88Sr+ at m/z = 90 and the relatively low abundance sensitivity of ICP-SFMS at medium mass resolution of 6 × 10−7. This detection limit in the separated fraction corresponds to the detection limit of 0.4 pg L−1 in the original urine sample. The recovery of 90Sr, determined with the developed analytical method in spiked urine samples, was in the range of 82–86%. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
