2018Co-Authors: Isabella B R Scheiber, Brigitte M Weis, Margje E De Jong, Anna Braun, Maarten J J E Loonen, Eva Millesi, Nico W Van Den Brink, Jan KomdeurAbstract:Natural populations are persistently exposed to environmental pollution, which may adversely impact animal physiology and behaviour and even compromise survival. Responding appropriately to any stressor, ultimately might tip the scales for survival, as mistimed behaviour and inadequate physiological responses may be detrimental. Yet, effects of legacy contamination on immediate physiological and behavioural stress coping abilities during acute stress are virtually unknown. Here, we assessed these effects in barnacle goslings (Branta leucopsis) at a historical coal mine site in the Arctic. For three weeks we led human-imprinted goslings, collected from nests in unpolluted areas, to feed in an abandoned coal mining area, where they were exposed to Trace metals. As control we led their siblings to feed on clean grounds. After submitting both groups to three well-established stress tests (group isolation, individual isolation, on-back restraint), control goslings behaved calmer and excreted lower levels of corticosterone metabolites. Thus, legacy contamination may decisively change stress physiology and behaviour in long-lived vertebrates exposed at a young age.

Quantification of surface contamination on optical glass via sensitivity-improved calibration-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
Applied Surface Science, 2021Co-Authors: Christoph Gerhard, Aya Taleb, Frédéric Pelascini, Jörg HermannAbstract:We report quantitative analysis of manufacturing-induced Trace Contaminants of optical glass surfaces by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Therefore, spectra recorded with an echelle spectrometer coupled to a gated detector were analysed using a calibration-free LIBS approach based on the calculation of the spectral radiance of a plasma in local thermodynamic equilibrium. The measurements were carried out in experimental conditions that enable both accurate modelling of plasma emission and high sensitivity for Trace element analysis. Depth-resolved measurements were performed by recording spectra for successive laser pulses applied to the same irradiation sites. Validated via inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy for the bulk glass composition, the measurements evidence a surface contamination that originates from polishing during glass manufacturing. The measured penetration depths of the Contaminants are discussed in the frame of the underlying mechanisms of surface contamination and related to the changes of the optical properties evidenced by ellipsometric measurements. Demonstrated here for optical glass, the sensitivity-improved calibration-free LIBS approach can be used to quantify contaminations of surfaces in all kind of technological applications.
