Samples were collected using the ANSTO built ASP sampling unit. It is a PM2.5 cyclone type sampler based on the US EPA IMPROVE system used across North America in their National Parks air monitoring program. The particles are collected on a 25mm diameter thin stretched Teflon filter masked to 17 mm diameter to increase sample thickness and improve deposit uniformity. 
The 25 mm Teflon filters were analysed non-destructively on the ANSTO STAR 2MV accelerator using nuclear IBA techniques. A full description of these methods and how they are used can be found on the ANSTO web page at www.ansto.gov.au/environment/iba
