Aerosol Sampling Program (ASP) - Fine Particle Pollution Monitoring at Mayfield, New South Wales (2001-2009)

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.

澳大利亚核科学与技术组织（Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation，ANSTO）自20世纪90年代初起，便持续开展PM2.5细颗粒物相关研究。研究人员会在澳大利亚覆盖多元人口特征的采样点位（包括城市、乡村与工业场地），于每周三及周日开展为期24小时的环境细颗粒物常规采样工作。采集所得的样本随后会被送至该组织，采用基于加速器的核离子束分析（Ion Beam Analytical，IBA）技术完成测量与特性表征。
