The 2006 rock-salt trace-element paper was produced by a team: Georg Steinhauser, Johannes H. Sterba, Karin Poljanc, Max Bichler and Karl Buchtela.

The Research Team
PubMed lists all five authors and identifies Steinhauser’s affiliation with the Atominstitut at Vienna University of Technology.
The laboratory nature of the project illustrates the collaborative character of mineral and trace-element research.
18 Samples from Six Countries
The study examined 18 rock-salt samples from Austria, Germany, Pakistan, Poland, Switzerland and Ukraine.
This geographic range allowed trace-element profiles to be compared beyond a single salt province.
Analytical Method
The team used instrumental neutron activation analysis and estimated potential bioavailability through solubility in an acid medium.
The approach is a core methodological reference for later rock-salt chemistry articles.
