  • Abstract
    Sampling programs of relatively limited extent can be useful for monitoring suspended particulate matter in specific locations; for example certain occupational situations. Aerosol samples were collected by cascade impactors and analyzed by PIXE at the Brooklyn College Dynamitron Laboratory. We describe the results of experiments in a metal-sculpture studio involving silver soldering, an industrial plastics-milling shop and a municipal incinerator.
