A rapid, sensitive, and accurate X-ray fluorescence method to analyze elemental sulfur concentrations in ambient aerosol samples is described. The method involves using a dichotomous sampler to acquire fine particulate samples on a continuous tape filter. Elemental sulfur analyses are performed immediately following acquisition using an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. Results obtained from experimental applications of the method are reported.
