K1 Aerosoles atmosféricos
AB Particulate matter pollution is a serious environmental issue mainly due to the presence of toxic substances and tracemetals in the atmosphere from a variety of pollution emission sources. Information about aerosol composition and theirsources especially during pollution events can be further used to establish strategies for the reduction of particulatematter concentration. The objective in the present study was to analyse variations in total suspended particle (TSP) massconcentration and heavy metal components for evaluating the atmospheric loadings of substances with different sourcesas well as to further examine the relationship between the occurrence of African dust intrusions and metallic speciesconcentrations at our coastal station located in South Spain. Non-destructive Wavelength-Dispersive X-RayFluorescence (WDXRF) analysis has been applied for the determination of multi-element contents of atmosphericparticulate matter.
