Determination of Heavy Metals and Fluorine in Airborne Particulate Matter in an Indoor Environment by Simultaneous Use of PIXE and γ-Ray Detection
The current rapid development within work-environment research has created a considerable demand among industrial hygienists for suitable analytical methods. PIXE (particle-induced X-ray emission analysis), which was introduced in Lund in 1970, has been shown to be a feasible method for use in studying the elemental composition of aerosols. However, in some work environments, fluorine, an element
