One of the methods of measuring the concentrations of trace elements in atmospheric dust is the X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF). For the first time in Poland, a high-class X-ray fluorescence spectrometer was used to determine the content of trace elements in atmospheric dust collected on filters. Calibration was performed by measuring thin-layer standards and its correctness was checked. The energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (EDXRF) was used to determine 42 elements in PM2.5 (ambient particulates with the aerodynamic diameter not greater than 2.5 µm). The presence of some elements in the samples of ambient dust collected in 2003 was revealed and their concentrations were determined.

Jedną z metod pomiaru stężenia pierwiastków śladowych w pyle atmosferycznym jest fluorescencja rentgenowska. Po raz pierwszy w Polsce wykorzystano wysokiej klasy spektrometr fluorescencji rentgenowskiej do oznaczeń zawartości pierwiastków śladowych w pyłach atmosferycznych osadzonych na filtrach. Przeprowadzono kalibrację opartą na pomiarze cienkowarstwowych wzorców i sprawdzono poprawność jej działania. Zastosowano technikę EDXRF do oznaczania 42. wybranych pierwiastków we frakcji fine pyłu zawieszonego w powietrzu. Stwierdzono obecność poszczególnych pierwiastków w pyle PM2,5 oraz rozpoznano wstępnie stężenia, w jakich one występują w próbkach z 2003 roku.
