Compositional Analysis of Iraq Dust
RJ Lee Group (RJLG) participated in a project analyzing samples from 15 different sites in the Middle East for PM2.5 and PM10. PM2.5 is particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of up to 2.5 micrometers, referred to as the fine particle fraction. The client collected samples over a one year period using Mini-Vol air samplers, an ambient air sampler for particulate. Samples collected on polycarbonate filters were analyzed for particle size and elemental composition using computer-controlled scanning electron microscopy (CCSEM) techniques.
