Qualitative Analysis of Toxic Elements that Collected on Smoke-Stackers of Factories in Tabriz City

Abstract

In this research we apply X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) method to determine toxic and heavy metals in stack gases that arises from industrial furnaces. Three factories were selected and various samples were collected from their furnaces and smoke-stacker, and the results compared each other.
