Abstract

Flameless atomic absorption techniques were used to determine the lead and other atmospheric particulate in the city of Tehran. 640 samples were collected in 20 different stations around the city during four seasons in 1992. The radioactivity of the air samples was also measured by γ-ray spectrometry using high purity Ge/Li detectors, and a multichannel analyzer. The results were compared with previous measurements in the city of Tehran.
