Authentic dust surfaces from the Saharan, the Chinese and the Arizona dust regions were used as substrates, as were the minerals and clay minerals: aluminium oxide, calcite, dolomite, feldspar; kaolinite, chlorite, illite, smectite, montmorillonite and palygorskite. The uptake of both trace gases was investigated at concentrations as low as 10^9 cm^-3 (HNO3) and 10^10 cm^-3 (N2O5) and found to be large and irreversible.

Water was found to have some influence onto the uptake coefficient, though this depended on the substrate used. It was observed that diffusion into the pores of the sample bulk can be relevant for N2O5; this has to be considered in the calculation of the uptake coefficient.
