title: Elemental analysis of airborne grain dusts.
abstract: The elemental composition of a group of airborne and settled grain dusts is reported. This survey was undertaken as part of a study to systematically describe the chemistry and morphology of these representative dusts. Our data show that airborne or settled grain dusts differ from each other with respect to elemental composition. Such fundamental differences may be related to previously observed differences in the biological activities of the dusts.
