Favorable features of neutron activation analysis (NAA) are highlighted and the most important modes of the technique are mentioned. Examples are given of the advantageous use of NAA for elemental characterization of ambient air and combustion aerosols, studying transfer of pollutants to agricultural plants, and the technique's applications in occupational health and nutritional studies.
