dc.description.abstract | In this study uranium (U) concentrations were determined in certified reference materials (CRMs) and in tree bark samples collected in “Cidade Universitária Armando de Salles Oliveira” (CUASO) USP, São Paulo. CRMs were analyzed using the experimental conditions used for barks for analytical quality control of U determina-tion. The barks were collected from different species namely Poincianella pluviosa and Tipuana tipu. These bark samples were cleaned, dried, grated and milled for the analyses by epithermal neutron activation analysis meth-od (ENAA). This method consists on irradiating CRMs, samples and U standard in IEA-R1 nuclear reactor with thermal neutron flux of 1.9 x 1012 n cm-2 s-1 during 40 to 60 seconds depending on their matrices. The U was iden-tified, using gamma-ray spectrometry, by the peak of 74.66 keV of 239U with half-life of 23.47 minutes. Concen-tration of U was calculated by comparative method. Results obtained for CRMs presented good precision and accuracy, with |Z score| ≤ 0.39. Uranium concentrations in tree barks varied from 83.1 to 627.6 ng g-1 and the relative standard deviations of these results ranged from 1.8 to 10 %. | pt_BR |
