Abstract

The project consists in the development of methodology for the chemical analysis of samples of atmospheric particulate material, using techniques of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), analysis of C and S by LECO element analyzer and X-ray diffraction. This characterization is part of a monitoring and quantification project of the particulate material load in the region of São Carlos. (AU)
