Abstract

Photoelectron spectroscopy (ESCA) was applied to sub-micron sodium sulfate particles deposited on different filter surfaces. Only flat membrane filters were found to be suitable for aerosol analysis by ESCA. A linear dependence of ESCA signal on aerosol mass was observed for different polydisperse mass loadings on Nuclepore filters. We have also performed a systematic study of the relation between ESCA signal and particle diameter (30–220 nm). Lower detection limits range between 25 and 100 ng SO²₄ per 0.25-cm² analyzed filter area, depending on particle radius and/or size distribution. We discuss future applications of ESCA in aerosol analysis.
