Description:
Methods are described for obtaining ambient PM-10 aerosol data for use in receptor models. haracteristics of PM-10 sampling devices, filter media and laboratory analysis procedures are described. he latter include x-ray fluorescence, neutron activation, optical spectroscopy, pyrolysis, ion chromatography and colorimetry. t is shown that some combinations of filter medium, sampler and analysis method are incompatible, and information is presented so that incompatibility can be avoided. Measurement artifacts for ionic species and annular denuder systems for avoiding them are described.
