Three independent analytical techniques: instrumental neutron activation analysis, atomic absorption spectrometry, and ion-exchange chromatography were applied to airborne particulates collected on filters, and to atmospheric acid gases collected in carbonate buffer solutions. Twenty trace elements and seven acid gases and acid aerosols were determined. Results were compared with those observed elsewhere and showed that air pollution is low in Kinshasa and should not cause anxiety. The main known sources of pollutants are vehicle exhaust and aeolian processes on stripped soils.
仪器中子活化分析、原子吸收光谱法和离子交换色谱法，被应用于收集在滤纸上的空气颗粒物，以及收集在碳酸盐缓冲溶液中的大气酸性气体。测定了20种微量元素以及7种酸性气体和酸性气溶胶。将结果与在其他地方观察到的结果进行比较，结果表明金沙萨的空气污染程度较低，不应引发担忧。已知的主要污染物来源是车辆尾气和裸露土壤上的风沙作用。
