Detection limits in 0.02-2.7 ug/m^3 for Cd, Ni, As, Co, Mn, Sb, Cr, Tl, Sn, V, Cu, Pb. These aren't in tables due to difficulty to convert to ppm (by mass). Analysis was performed directly of filter papers which had been used to absorb aerosols. Method also tried normalisation to a microphone signal, but little improvement in performance was found.
