“…However, NBS 1632 has been out of supply for some time. Table 3 compares results obtained in routine analysis by INAA of NBS l632A with those reported by Germani et al (1980). The results compare well; however, in the case of Fe, Na, Ba, Cl, I, Mo, Rb, and Sr, the precision in this work is not as good as that reported by Germani et al (1980).…”

The poorer precision for Fe and Na is more difficult to account for than is that for the other elements which tend to have poorer counting statistics.…”

We feel these discussions were very fruitful and educational for all the attendees and will lead to beneficial collaborations in the future. , members of the Technical Committee.The editors would like to acknowledge the unselfish giving of time and talent of those whose help made this conference a success. We wish to express our added appreciation to the session chairmen for their overall contributions: PREFACE vii son of Washington State University. A special thanks is extended to S. Hendrickson of Lawrence,Livermore National Laboratory for the compilation and preparation of the abstracts.Although proper prearrangements are critical to any meeting, implementation is equally critical. For the invaluable on-site assistance we received during the various phases of the conference, we are indebted to many, but especially to K. B. Pedersen for arranging so much of the local assistance. We are indebeted specifically to the staff of the Center for Energy and Environment Research; S. E. Alemany, Chancellor, University of Puerto Rico -Mayaguez Campus; and M. Vargas-Cesani, Recinto Universitario de Mayaguez. We wish to express our appreciation to D. Bennett, C. Filby and N. Wogman for coordination of all the last minute crises, both before and during the meeting. Finally, we would like to thank R. E. Sinclair, Applied Physics Technology, for organizing the coffee breaks which were sponsored by Canberra, ORTEC, Nicolet, and Nuclear Data.The location of the conference, Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, not only provided an excellent secluded atmosphere for informal working groups to be formed, but also was an equally enjoyable and superb setting for those who accompanied the attendees. The location was surpassed only by the cordiality of the hosts, J. Guzman, H. J. Santiago, J. A. Petrillo and staff, at the Mayaguez Hilton, the conference hotel. Competing with scenery and cordiality of the hotel was the ex...

“…Sulfur has been measured in coals, coal fly ash, cements, and biological materials using reactor-based thermal neutron PGAA at mass fractions down to 0.2% (Jurney et al 1977;Failey et al 1979;Germani et al 1980), with 1σ uncertainties of 5% to 10% and reported detection limits of about 100 μg (Jurney et al 1977). PGAA using a 152 Cf neutron source has been used for on-line determination of sulfur in coals at mass fractions from 0.5% to 6% (Vourvopoulos and Womble 1989).…”

Thirty-six aerosol filter samples collected in tropospheric Arctic haze layers, in the stratosphere, and in the marine boundary layer during the 1983 Arctic Gas and Aerosol Sampling Program were analyzed for trace elements using instrumental neutron activation analysis. Average crustal dust concentrations were 540 ng/m 3 and 330 ng/m 3 for samples collected in Arctic haze over the North American and Norwegian Arctic, respectively. An average marine salt concentration of 120 ng/m 3 was obtained for haze samples collected above the marine boundary layer on both sides of the Arctic.Meteorological and wind trajectory information were used to identify specific haze transport pathways, which brought relatively unmixed aerosol from the central Soviet Union into the AGASP sampling areas. Results from individual filters collected within these transport zones are discussed, with emphasis on certain trace metal ratios which have been proposed by other researchers as discriminators of aerosols from different source regions. Our aircraft-collected data are compared with previously-collected ground-based measurements, and show reasonably good agreement for most tracer elements and ratios. Specifically, we have determined the As/Sb ratio tracer, named by other researchers as the most effective elemental discriminator of aerosol from the central Soviet Union, to be approximately 5-6. This relatively high tracer value is consistent with previous groundbased findings. A significantly lower V/Sb ratio was observed throughout this study, possibly indicating a change in the source signature.
