中子活化分析 (NAA) 被用作一种分析技术，用于测量墨西哥湾德克萨斯州阿兰萨斯港大气气溶胶中痕量金属的浓度。探讨了大气气溶胶的来源及其来源的季节变化。研究表明，大气中高铁浓度可能与该地区赤潮的发生存在相关性。数据显示这种相关性是合理的，但由于影响赤潮增长的因素有很多，可能无法得出明确的结论。这些测量的研究时间为2000年9月12日至2002年1月4日。
Neutron activation analysis (NAA) was employed as an analytical technique to measure atmospheric aerosol concentrations of trace metals in Port Aransas, TX on the Gulf of Mexico. The sources of atmospheric aerosols and the seasonal variation of the sources are explored. High atmospheric iron concentrations are then shown to have a possible correlation to the occurrences of red tide in this region. The data shows that this correlation is plausible, but due to the many factors that affect red tide growth a definitive conclusion may not be reached. The period of study for these measurements was September 12, 2000 to January 4, 2002.
