X-ray fluorescence method in analyzing forest fire emission elements
Abstract
Composition of aerosols from large taiga forest fires was investigated using an X-ray fluorescence method that involves excitation of the characteristic spectrum by synchrotron radiation. Emissions were sampled directly from the convection column with the help of various instruments (including an impactor) mounted on a helicopter. We compared the results of the study with literature data.
