Collection and atomic spectroscopic measurement of metal compounds in the atmosphere: a review.
A review is given of the collection of metal compounds in the atmosphere and their subsequent measurement by atomic spectroscopy. Collection is principally by nitration, impaction or electrostatic precipitation. Atomic absorption, emission and fluorescence have all been used for the analysis, atomic absorption being the most favoured.
