Abstract
X‐Ray fluorescence is an useful method for quantitative analyses of aerosol assuming the thin layer hypothesis. Analytical results by this method for three standards are compared to reference values. A good agreement is obtained when the thin layer condition is met. In a second step, the range of application of this method for some elements is determined by studying thickness and grain size effects.Keywords
