MATERIALS AND METHODSTo obtain a sample grid for brevetoxin aerosol distribution over the beach area, six high volume air samplers (TE-5000; Tisch Environmental, Inc., Village of Cleaves, OH) were placed 65 m apart along two transects (North and South), two samplers on the beach near the surf (Air-Surf), two just past the dunes (Air-Dune), and two behind the Jacksonville Beach lifeguard station in the parking lot (Air-Park). The air samplers were fitted with a 8"× 10" glass fiber filter (Whatman EPM 2000, Maidstone, England.) and allowed to run for approximately 5 hours on October 9 and 3.5 hours on October 10, 1999. Two of the samplers were placed near the surf during the night of October 9 at a location 1 mile north of the lifeguard station (Air-Night). The volume of air passing through the filter was determined using a Tisch TE-5009 continuous flow recorder. All samplers were calibrated prior to deployment.
