Aerosol Sampling Program (ASP) - Fine Particle Pollution Monitoring at Liverpool, 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年代初起便参与PM2.5细颗粒物研究工作。该团队在澳大利亚覆盖多类人口特征的区域（涵盖城市、乡村及工业场地）定期开展环境细颗粒物采样，固定于每周三与周日进行单次时长为24小时的采样作业。采集得到的样本随后在ANSTO借助基于加速器的核离子束分析（Ion Beam Analytical，IBA）技术完成检测与特性表征。
