Concentration and elemental composition of atmospheric fine aerosol particles in Silesia Province, Poland

Atomic spectrometry update. X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry

“…XRF and FTIR data showed that sea salt, ammonium, sulfate and organic compounds were dominant. Concentrations of 42 elements in PM 2.5 collected in Zabrze, Poland were reported by Rogula-Kozlowska et al 254 The EDXRF data on ambient dust sampled in 2003 enabled the authors to begin a series of assessments of the quality of Polish urban atmospheric fine particulates.…”

The Mass Distribution of Particle-Bound PAH Among Aerosol Fractions: A Case-Study of an Urban Area in Poland

“…Ambient dust was sampled with the use of a thirteen stage DEKATI low pressure impactor (DLPI), which collects thirteen PM fractions onto thirteen separate substrate filters (Table 1). The principle of DLPI operating may be found in (Klejnowski et al, 2010). There were two periods of sampling: from 7 May to 2 August (summer) and from 26 October to 27 December (winter) 2007.…”
