Re: Chinese water filter analysis

Hi Taray,
I was scanning a specimen that I had lazily left on its black plastic mount.? I was seeing a clear Br peak but was told (I believe by Steve Dubyk) that this was not likely.? With a little googling I saw that Br is a common fire retardant in plastic.
I had not realized that Pb is also common in plastic.? That is good to know as well.

Hi guys
Repeated this test with different sample setups.
MCA 's are for
Residue paper only ...dried
Residue paper with cap
Sample cap with residue paper
Clean sample paper only
Clean sample cap .
The results show
Most of scattering is from the cap
The "Pb" peaks were coming from the cap
The Fe peak is coming from the residue paper
I also put in a file about recycling plastics and heavy metals
As a whole ,I improved my settings and hope to improve further.
Will continue other testing methods.
Thanks
Taray
