Microchimica Acta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A procedure for the analysis of individual asbestos fibres in the submicrometre diameter range, based on the ratio method of thin film analysis, is presented. The reliability of this method has been tested in a study of identification of asbestos fibres. The systematic and statistical errors were investigated.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurde versucht, eine Quantifizierungsmethode analog der Verhältnismethode zur Analyse dünner Schichten für die Analyse von Asbestfasern mit Durchmessern im Submikrometerbereich zu entwickeln. Die Zuverlässigkeit der Methode wurde mit einem Anwendungsbeispiel überprüft, und alle systematischen und statistischen Fehler wurden dargelegt.
