Above a threshold concentration, tracer dissolution will be affected by ionic strength and pH. Our development work has resulted in tracer compounds that are hardly affected by ionic strength and pH normally encountered in soil solutions. But until we have developed a more complete data-base of dissolution properties, we recommend a separate calibration for each new application.
