Abstract
Size distributions of lead aerosols were obtained for 61 test periods in five urban and two remote areas of the United States. The tests were carried out under a variety of weather conditions in downtown, industrial, and residential locations of Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay area, Chicago, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and remote sites in Oklahoma and Arizona. Samples were obtained with a modified Goetz Aerosol spectrometer. Various fractions of the collected samples were analyzed by the dithizone method for lead and the size distributions were calculated on the basis of the chemical determinations. Size distributions were generally similar at the several sampling sites covered in the study.Keywords
