Abstract
Since the introduction of the catalytic cleaning of vehicle exhaust gases, platinum is discussed as environmentally relevant element. Results of such investigations are compared with “natural” platinum background concentrations, which were determined in selected environmental and biological samples. Wine serves as an example for the following the path of platinum, beginning with the uptake during the plant growth, continuing with the fermentation process of grape juice and resulting in the final product.
