“…Following removal from the reactor, the samples were analyzed by using a Ge/Li detector in conjunction with a 4096-channel multichannel analyzer. The results were transferred to magnetic tape and analyzed by using the PIDAQ program (24). Analyses performed by INAA have a precision (based on counting statistics) of less than 10% for most elements.…”

of surface-associated material, which is often highly characteristic of particles derived from a specific source. Thus, automobile exhaust particles have been shown to contain the elements Br, Cl, Cr, Mn, Ni, P, Pb, and T1 on their outer surface (25, 27).In terms of the actual results obtained, the most important conclusions are that lead derived from automobile exhaust particulates can contribute significantly to the total lead present in soils and dusts at a considerable distance from a roadway. Otherwise, it would appear that roadway dusts themselves are likely to contain lead that is almost exclusively derived from automobile exhausts.

“…Concentrations were calcuTated by correcting for dead time using the computer programs GAMNAL (Ioyuye et al, 1969) and PIDAQ (Maney et al, 1977). Total concentrations were corrected for the concentrations of Al in the blank control samples.…”
