A combined air particulate sampler and elemental sulfur analyzer was developed for continuous monitoring of fine particulate sulfur. It consists of a dichotomous sampler, continuous tape membrane filter system, and single-channel wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometer. The unit operates automatically under microprocessor control and is designed to be transportable to remote sampling sites. Calibration data are retained within the microprocessor program and the concentrations are available shortly after the completion of the sampling period. Operating results are summarized briefly.
