Aerosol Sampling Program (ASP) - Fine Particle Pollution Monitoring at Muswellbrook, New South Wales (2000-2009)

The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) have been involved in PM2.5 fine particle research since the early 1990's. Ambient fine particles have been routinely collected every Wednesday and Sunday for 24 hour sampling periods at locations covering a range of demographics including; urban, rural and industrial sites in Australia. The collected samples have been subsequently measured and characterised at ANSTO using accelerator based nuclear Ion Beam Analytical (IBA) techniques.
