Summary

Data on ambient particulate concentrations by size and elemental composition taken in Arizona and Utah are compared to simultaneous telephotometer measurements of standard visual range. Particulate samples were collected during the VISTTA program from 26 June to 11 July 1979, at Zilnez Mesa, Arizona, and compared to similar 24 h measurements made as part of a long term research program at Zion and Canyonlands National Parks in Utah. Samples were collected with rotating drum Multtday impactors which provide three aerodynamic size ranges; 15μm–3.5μm; 3.5μm–0.5μm, and less than 0.5/jm. Elemental composition of samples was measured using the particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) system at the Crocker [...]
