Abstract
It is shown how the Goetz Aerosol Spectrometer can be used to determine the particle size distribution of a specific component of a mixed atmospheric aerosol. The method requires no micrographic counting, but does require that sensitive quantitative chemical analysis methods be available for the compounds of interest. The accuracy of the method and the sensitivity limitations are briefly discussed.
