Abstract

Proton scattering quantitative elemental analysis is examined as a complement to proton induced X-ray emission analysis for air particulate samples. Both methods are absolute, non-destructive, and are suitable for use on samples up to about 1 mg/cm2 in areal density. Characteristics of the method are discussed and examples of aerosol spectra are presented.
