Determinação da composição isotópica de estrôncio em águas naturais: exemplos de sua aplicação em águas subsuperficiais da zona costeira na região Bragantina-PA

Analytical procedures used for determining the concentrations and isotope composition of strontium in subsurface waters, by mass spectrometry, are described. Sampling was performed in coastal plateaus, salt marsh and mangrove environments in the coastal region of Pará. Coastal plateau waters have δ⁸⁷Sr between 1.51 and 6.26‰ and Sr concentration bellow 58 ppb. Salt marsh waters show δ⁸⁷Sr between 0.55 and 0.90‰ and Sr concentration between 93 and 114 ppm, while mangrove waters have δ⁸⁷Sr around zero and Sr concentration above 15 ppm. Differences in the ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio in these subsurface waters are detected, as well as seasonal variations in the coastal pleteau waters.
