• Tape lift samples are collected using 10 cm tape, folded at edges for avoiding any contamination. The tape is pressed once on the tested surface.
  

• The samples will be submitted in sealed plastic bags.

• All samples should be clearly identified/ numbered.​
  

Microscopic identification of particles present in dust deposited on various surfaces.

​Dust particle counting on air filters by digital imaging.

​Identification of mineral grains and rock fragments, biological materials, natural and processed fibers, soot, carbonized materials, etc.

• All analyses are performed using transmitted polarized light microscopy (size of analyzed particles > 1 um).​
