  • Notes: 1Spectral de-convolution background correction was required for all elements with emission wavelengths of less than 200 nm.

  • 2 Sodium and phosphorus are not quantified when the extracting buffer is prepared from sodium and phosphate salts.

  • 3 Y used as an internal standard.

  • 4 A wavelength is listed for ethanol only if the wavelength used for ethanol-containing extracts was different from that used for aqueous extract.
