TL;DR: In this paper, the available analytical techniques for determination of Br Pb ratios are critically evaluated, and the reported values of BrPb ratios in ambient air are reviewed, as well as possible reasons for variability in BR Pb ratio are discussed and recommendations made for the evaluation of data.

TL;DR: Using X-ray powder diffraction it was possible to identify a number of discrete compounds of nitrogen and sulphur in atmospheric aerosols as discussed by the authors, including ammonia neutralization products of airborne acids, including mixed ammonium nitrate-sulphate salts.

TL;DR: In this paper, air particulate samples were collected from one urban and two rural sites in NW England and the results showed the elements of Br and Pb were virtually uniquely associated at all sites, but with a lower ratio of Br Pb in the town (025 ± 001) than at the rural sites (030 ± 00 1 and 033 ± 002).

TL;DR: A method has been developed for estimating crudely the quantity of lead in dusts derived from paint flakes, and it was the least lead-polluted dusts that contained the highest proportions of lead from paint.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study of particulate Br Na ratios and gaseous Br levels at a coastal site is described, and it appears that rather rapid volatile loss of Br from marine aerosols occurs, especially over land where concentrations of reactive pollutants may be substantial.
