Abstract
A new instrument for monitoring atmospheric particulates containing sulfur has been developed which combines electrostatic precipitation with flame photometric detection as its principle of operation. Standard Reference Materials (SRM's) applicable to the measurement of stack concentrations of SO2 have been developed and progress has been made on similar standards for NO2. SRM's for CO in air in the concentration range of 10 to 50 ppm are also near completion. Methods are being investigated to develop SRM's for the X-ray fluorescence analysis of particulates on filter papers. To this end, techniques for fabricating glass microspheres of known composition have been developed and sputtering techniques for producing thin films of known composition have been investigated.
