Dust Deposition data refers to data that is collected within a collection tray of a specified area over a indeterminate number of days. The dust sample is sent off to the laboratory and the results are returned in terms of mg/sample or ug/sample or similar.  On receiving the data  the results are corrected for the sampling area, and the duration and are normally reported as mg/m2/30 days or similar.

ESdat can accomodate Dust Deposition data, but users have to enable that functionality for their database.  Users can enable it under Setup - Chemistry - Matrix Types - Add Matrix Type.   Select a Matrix State of "Dust Deposition", and enter a name for the Matrix Type (such as "Dust").

This will create an output Data Type button called "Dust Chemistry".  Information on the Dust Deposition Sampling is imported into the "Dust Deposition_Samples" table.  This table supplements the "Chemistry_Samples" table, providing information specific to Dust Deposition Sampling.  The import template is generated as shown below.

Laboratory data is imported in the normal manner, and the Field ID values will be matched automatically.
