Elemental composition of size-fractionated aerosols associated with a coal-fired power plant plume and background
Size-fractionated atmospheric particulate samples were collected near a coal-fired power plant in new Mexico. Separate samples were taken during times when ambient sulfur dioxide levels (so2) were greater or less than a threshold of 64 Mgg M 3. Samples were weighed and analyzed; 32 elements were det...

| Summary: | Size-fractionated atmospheric particulate samples were collected near a coal-fired power plant in new Mexico. Separate samples were taken during times when ambient sulfur dioxide levels (so2) were greater or less than a threshold of 64 Mgg M 3. Samples were weighed and analyzed; 32 elements were detected. Most elements were present in higher concentrations in aerosols collected during high so2 periods. |
