Elements in my PM samples were analyzed using EDXRF. The concentrations were obtained in cm2. Can anybody teach me how to convert to ug/m3 or ppm?
Example
Ar - 989.614 cm2 (this is the conc obtained using EDXRF)
Thanks

Dear Francis,
You can try with this formula:
- Concentration (mg/m3 or ug/L) = Concentration (ppm)* Molecular mass (g/mol)/Molar volume (L);
- Concentration (ug/m3 or ng/L) = Concentration (ppb)* Molecular mass (g/mol)/Molar volume (L)
Dr Blanchard thanks.
I wish to calculate the Enrichment Factor (EF) of particulate matter samples. Can I use the background concentration of soil for the calculation? Thanks Francis
