title: Tandem mass spectrometry of uranium and uranium oxides in airborne particulates.
abstract: A method for detection of uranium in airborne microparticles in real time has been developed. Positive identification of uranium is achieved by isolating UO(2+) ions and following their reaction with residual oxygen molecules to yield UO(2)(+).
