Tandem Mass Spectrometry of Uranium and Uranium Oxides in Airborne Particulates

A method for detection of uranium in airborne microparticles in real time has been developed. Positive identification of uranium is achieved by isolating UO2+ ions and following their reaction with residual oxygen molecules to yield UO2 +.
