Description:
The report gives results of an analysis of samples of tenacious atmospheric deposits on exposed surfaces (e.g., automobiles and houses) in an industrial area near Easton, PA. The analysis was made at the request of the State of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources collected samples at two sites in the area: samples were collected on organic membrane material for elemental analysis by x-ray fluorescence and on glass plates for inorganic phase analysis by x-ray diffraction. The glass plates were subjected to various methods of analysis to determine the organic species present.
