An increased standard of living in developed and developing countries hasbrought about a distinct rise in pollution. The problem of air pollution hasspecifically increased the publics awareness of the environmental and healthrelated consequences resulting from modern day industrial technology. Thisdetailed collection of works devoted to the most popular methods in elementalanalysis of airborne particles offers investigators a comprehensive book on themost common laboratory analytical methods currently used in trace elementanalysis. Discussed are atomic absorption spectrometry inductively coupledplasma atomic emission particle induced gamma ray analysis particle elasticscattering and Rutherford backscattering and neutron activation analysis.Specific sections on quality assurancequality control and source receptormodeling have also been included. «
