Analysis of hourly SPM spot samples revealed 20 elements (Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, Cl, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Br, Sr, and Pb) in total. Therefore, we are convinced that the chemical information that is obtained from high time-resolution PM spot samples on a PTFE membrane filter-tape mounted in an automated beta-ray absorption mass monitor will lead to new developments in PM research. Furthermore, elemental data obtained by the high time-resolution along with data for ionic species compositions, and SO2, NOx and other gaseous air pollutants at the same level, will make possible the analysis of detailed air pollution phenomenon.}, pages = {95--101}, title = {PIXE analysis of spot samples on new type of PTFE ultra-membrane filter-tape mounted in an automated beta-ray absorption mass monitor}, volume = {16}, year = {2006} }
