Beh in questo rapporto le tracce di zolfo vengono trovate nella finissima polvere che ha ricoperto tutta Manhattan dopo i crolli degli edifici. Mi pare difficile da qui stabilire dove fosse o meno in origine lo zolfo (basta osservare la mappa)

Anche perché l'analisi conclude dicendo che:

WD-XRF results show that silicon, calcium, sulfur, magnesium, aluminum, iron, and carbon are the predominant elemental components of the dusts. The contents of volatile compounds in the dusts approach nearly 20% by weight. The identities and amounts of volatile components (such as water bonded in minerals and adsorbed onto materials; organic materials such as papers, plastics, etc.) in the samples have not been determined.

Quindi lo zolfo è uno dei predominant material. Però

The total element compositions of the dust samples reflect the chemical makeup of materials such as: glass fibers (containing silicon, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and other elements); gypsum (containing calcium and sulfate); concrete and aggregate (containing calcium and aluminum hydroxides, and a variety of silicate minerals containing silicon, calcium, potassium, sodium, and magnesium); particles rich in iron, aluminum, titanium, and other metals that might be used in building construction; and particles of other components, such as computers, etc. Organic carbon in the dusts is most likely from paper, wallboard binder, and other organic materials.
The trace metal compositions of the dust and girder coatings likely reflect contributions of material from a wide variety of sources. Possibilities include metals that might be found as pigments in paints (such as titanium, molybdenum, lead, and iron), or metals that occur as traces in, or as major components of, wallboard, concrete, aggregate, copper piping, electrical wiring, and computer equipment. Further detailed SEM studies of dust and beam coating samples are needed to develop a better understanding of the residences of metals in the samples. A detailed review of the materials used in construction, and the elemental composition of materials commonly found in office buildings would also be useful to understand more completely the potential sources and compositions of the materials in the dusts.


E lo zolfo da dove arriva?
