The occurrence of airborne particulates in the environment is a question that involves many implications in the environmental and biological sciences, toxicology and other related disciplines. Here we show that the mineralogical studies are the best method for determining the origin and pathways of airborne particulates in the environment, as well as for pinpointing industrial pollution sources. The brief historic context of different methods used for assessing environment quality is given in the Introduction section. Of the mineralogical methods, the X-ray microanalysis (SEM/EDS) used for studying particulates in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) needles is discussed in more detail. The SEM combined with EDS system enabled us to interpret the results of element determinations on the pine needles with the spectrometric (ICP-OES, AAS) methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
