Abstract
This paper describes a method for the simultaneous collection of size-fract ionated aerosol samples on several collection substrates, including glass-f ibre filter, carbon tape and silver tape, with a commercially available hig h-volume cascade impactor. This permitted various chemical analysis procedu res, including ion beam analysis (IBA), instrumental neutron activation ana lysis (INAA), carbon analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), to be carried out on the samples.
