Original title Zur Frage der Bestimmung metallischer Schadstoffe am Arbeitsplatz mit Hilfe der Radionuklid-Röntgenfluoreszenzanalyse [in German]
Bibliographic information Sep. 1975, Vol.35, No.9, p.321-326. Illus. 117 ref.
Abstract Study of the possible application of this method, above all for determination of cadmium in air, and literature survey on modes of sampling, principles of the method, and equipment. The method, which is suitable for determination of harmful substances in the workplace air, has the following features: simultaneous determination of several elements; rapidity; simple preparation of samples; good sensitivity.
