Abstract
Volatile elements from a basalt and from an obsidian were identified following slow neutron irradiation of the samples and a gamma ray spectroscopic assay of the room temperature distillate. The covariance of the enrichment factors for a variety of metals in the distillate and in atmospheric aerosols suggests that natural volatilization is responsible in part for the metal burdens in the atmosphere.
