Determining factors affecting the accuracy of SEM-EDX data-based quantitative chemical analysis for identifying naturally occurring individual carcinogenic erionite fibers by Wenxia Wendy Fan, Alessandro F. Gualtieri, Ayrton Hamilton, Janki P. Patel, Jennifer A. Salmond

“…Despite the purity of the erionite bulk sample, none of the analyzed individual fibers fully met the established quantitative chemical criteria for erionite identification. These results highlight the need for pre-calibration with erionite standards and the application of correction index to improve SEM-EDX accuracy, and subsequent confirmation of mineralogy using TEM-SAED, when determining whether individual fibers found in airborne samples are erionite.…”
