Speciation Analysis of Iron in Long Distance Transported Aerosols in Wet Deposition Collected from Remote Mountain Area Using a Laboratory X-ray Absorption Spectrometer

Determination of Trace Elements in Aerosols at a Rural Mountainous Area and a Local City of Eastern Shikoku Region, Japan

“…16,17) Evaluation of solubility of trace elements was conducted by determination of chemical state of trace elements using XAFS. [17][18][19][20][21] Extraction experiments of trace elements were also used for evaluation of the solubility. 11,22) In the latter case, decomposition of aerosols on the sampling filter is required in order to determine the fraction of the water-soluble contents to the whole content.…”
