X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) is a ground-based in situ spectroscopy method used to determine the chemical composition of environmental samples. It measures the fluorescent X-ray emitted from the sample when excited by an X-ray source (0.1-10 nm) to identify its chemical composition. The two main XRF techniques are Energy Dispersive and Wavelength Dispersive. In Earth Science, XRF is employed to analyze geological samples, soils and sediments, vegetation, atmospheric particulate matter, and water samples.
