Simultaneous Analysis of Size Distribution and Elemental Composition of Airborne Nanoparticles Using an Online‐Coupling of SMPS and ICPMS
نویسنده
چکیده
The coupling of SMPS and ICPMS will allow achieving size and chemical information at the same time. The expected full size range scan duration of several minutes and the even shorter scan times for narrower size ranges will enable transient particle observation, and it opens the possibility to chemically characterise an aerosol in its original condition instead of sampling particles first and analysing them afterwards.

A large variety of analytical methods are available to characterize particles in aerosols and suspensions. The choice of the appropriate technique depends on the properties to be determined. In many fields information about particle size and chemical composition are of great importance. While in aerosol techniques particle size distributions of gas-borne particles are determined online, their e...
متن کاملMeasuring the trace elemental composition of size-resolved airborne particles.
A new method to measure the trace elemental composition of size-resolved airborne particles that uses acetone extraction followed by ICPMS analysis is compared to three other established methods: copper anode XRF, molybdenum anode XRF, and an ICPMS method that uses HF digestion. The method detection limit (MDL), accuracy, and precision of each method is studied through the analysis of ambient s...

متن کاملNanoparticle emissions from traditional pottery manufacturing.
Traditional pottery manufacturing involves firing of the ceramics in kilns, a process that leads to high concentrations of airborne particles that are harmful to human health. In order to assess the associated exposure levels and the involved risks, here, for the first time, we investigate the size, the concentration and the elemental composition of the particles emitted during the different st...
