During recent years energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) has been used to measure the elemental content of atmospheric aerosols. The code described here is used to reduce EDXRF data and determine the elemental composition of samples collected on membrane filters. The program has been specifically written for EDXRF analysis of size-fractionated aerosols collected by a dichotomous sampler.The x-ray fluorescence spectrometer used in our laboratory employs a pulsed-mode x-ray tube and a lithium-drifted silicon detector. Pulse-height spectra are produced for elements ranging in atomic number from Z = 13 to Z = 82 (corresponding to an energy range from 1.4 to 32.1 keV). Approximately uniform x-ray production is attained by producing independent spectra from three secondary targets (Ti, Mo, Sm).

Airbone particulate samples were collected during 1989 in the northern Negev desert, Israel, using two Sierra ultra-high-volume dust samplers with cascade impactors on glass-fibre filters. A total of 12 elements were detected, of which only eight were present in relatively high concentrations, as was indicated by using an x-ray spectra XL-LINK system. During the study period, the mean annual airborne concentration was 102 μg·m−3, with a minimum and maximum concentration of 0.17 and 1.376 μg·m−3 per 12 hours, respectively. Eight elements (A1, Si, Ca, S, K, Cl, Fe, and Ti) were found in relatively high concentrations.
