Abstract

From April 12 to 19, 1984, dust was collected by cascade impactor on Fuerteventura Island, 100 km from the Saharan coast. The samples were analyzed by X ray fluorescence spectrometry (elemental composition), by X ray diffraction (mineral constituents), and by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and e...
