Abstract

Samples of air particulates were collected at 21 sampling stations in Chicago and a northern suburb, on 4 April 1968. These samples were analyzed for Ca, Mg, Fe, and Cu by atomic absorption spectroscopy, and the data collected were compared to similar air pollution studies in several other widely scattered parts of the world.
