A Compilation of Silicon and Thirty One Trace Elements Measured in the Natural River Water Reference Material SLRS‐4 (NRC‐CNRC)

Abstract

The natural river water certified reference material SLRS‐4 (NRC‐CNRC, National Research Council‐Conseil National de Recherches Canada) has been routinely analysed for major and trace elements by six French laboratories. Most measurements were made using inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry. For silicon and thirty one trace elements (rare earth elements, Ag, B, Br, Cs, Ga, Ge, Li, P, Pd, Rb, Se, Th, Ti, Tl, W, Y and Zr), no certified values are assigned by NRC‐CNRC. We propose some compilation values and related uncertainties according to the results obtained by the different laboratories.
