Point source sampling

In point source sampling, consideration of the topography, in this case (Figure 7.6) the slope and soil type, will be important. Discussion of soil types and sampling is presented in the next section. 

Transect sampling for nonpoint sources is done the same way and with the same purpose as it is in point source sampling. Figure 7.7 shows a transect across an area to be sampled. Different markers indicate that different sampling will be accomplished at these sites. These would also be sites for depth sampling if it is called for. 

All subsequent procedures are exactly as outlined in the Type A, Case a point-source sample. 

Soft x-rays with wavelengths of 1—10 nm ate used for scanning x-ray microscopy. A zone plate is used to focus the x-ray beam to a diameter of a few tens of nanometers. This parameter fixes and limits the resolution. Holographic x-ray microscopy also utilizes soft x-rays with photoresist as detector. With a strong source of x-rays, eg, synchrotron, resolution is in the 5—20-nm range. Shadow projection x-ray microscopy is a commercially estabflshed method. The sample, a thin film or thin section, is placed very close to a point source of x-rays. The "shadow" is projected onto a detector, usually photographic film. The spot size is usually about 1 ]lni in diameter, hence the resolution cannot be better than that.

Needless to say, the requirements imposed on the power supply and the electrical equipment are considerably more demanding for the successful operation of such a microprobe than of an ordinary x-ray spectrograph. The sample in the probe approaches being a point source the x-ray beam is therefore strongly divergent. Here a curved crystal... 

We wish to repeat here the warning at the end of Section 9.9. A point source when needed is a fine thing when not needed, it may give misleading information unless the sample is uniform in composition, as most are not. Scanning with a microprobe will give information on average composition. 

Intensity of Irradiation. As discussed below the ionic sample Sriginates from a small volume with a radius of approximately 1 mm., and one can visualize this volume as a sphere placed on top of the leak, oince the distance from the leak to the ion source (R = 3 cm.) is relatively large, we can use a point-source approximation to obtain j, the... 

For water sampling from drainage or streams, points near a drain port of a paddy field or an industrial factory, etc., should be avoided in order that water monitoring reflects the concentration of agrochemicals in the entire area rather than a point source.

The application was a model test only and no attempt was made to acquire or validate site-specific source data. Specific and prototype point sources and area sources were included most risk came from the nonspecific, hypothetical sources. Risk was computed using unvalldated, hypothetical unit risk factors. Sample graphical results are presented in Figures 3, 4, and 5. 

In comparison with other studies, which reflect either diffusive pollution or sampling sites located relatively far from the pollution point source, the sampling...
