The iodine content of atmospheric aerosols as determined by the use of a fluoropore filter for collection

  • 1. Institute of Public Health, Tokyo (Japan)

Description

Atmospheric aerosols were collected onto a fluoropore filter in order to determine the iodine by means of instrumental neutron activation analysis. The collection filter was found to be the best material among the nine filters examined, for it has the lowest blank values for iodine as well as for other halogens and sodium. The iodine concentrations in Tokyo were found to be 1.7-12.7 ng m-3. Of the soluble iodine, 10% or less was in the form of IO3-. (author)
