Characteristics of metals in the aerosols of Zhongshan Station, Antarctica
Instrumental neutron activation analysis(INAA) was applied to analyze the bulk, high-volume aerosol samples, collected at Zhongshan Station in the Eastern Antarctica, during 1998-2001, to study the chemical species. A graphical technique was applied to the INAA data. Results showed that Na, Cl, Mg,...
