Zusammenfassung

Es wird ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung einer großen Zahl von Spurenbestandteilen in Luftstaub und Flugasche mit Hilfe der Funken-Massenspektrometrie beschrieben. Eine einfache Probenvorbereitung und eine vollautomatische Photoplattenauswertung erlaubt die Bestimmung von etwa 50 Elementen mit einer Genauigkeit von 20% innerhalb von 4–5h.

Summary

A procedure is described for the spark source mass spectrometric analysis of a large number of trace constituents in airborne particulate matter and fly-ash. A simple sample preparation procedure and a fully automatic photoplate analysis allows determination of ca. 50 elements with a precision of 20% within 4–5 h.
