Abstract
The possibility of the routine PIXE measurement of environmental sampl es has been tested at the INP in Rez. Both thin samples of aerosols co llected on membrane filters Synpor and Nuclepore and thick aerosols an d fly ashes samples pressed into pellets were analyzed. The Nuclepore filter was found more suitable for PIXE analysis of aerosols than the Synpor, and the thin aerosol sample analysis was found to be easier th an the thick sample analysis. The grain size effect in the case of thi ck fly ash samples is discussed.
