Beta attenuation monitors (BAMs) are widely used for the regulatory monitoring of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and fence line industrial sites. The elemental analysis BAM filter tapes potentially could enable additional source PM2.5 attribution. However, chemical characterization glass fiber filters is hindered by high background metal values. A sample preparation method was developed using ultrasonic extraction from spots in nitric acid metals inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). To demonstrate utility this method, were analyzed wildfire smoke periods San Francisco Bay Area California Fall 2023 indicated elevated levels chromium compared to a non-wildfire period Spring 2023. SEM-EDS tape probe individual morphology, but it only detected Fe Ba at above blank media. be future events extend beta monitor monitoring.
