『Abstract
Ambient concentrations of PM10 were measured
every fifteen minutes from November 2002 to October 2003 at Alsasua
(Northern Spain) using a laser particle counter. A high volume
sampler was also used to collect 24-h integrated PM10
samples at a frequency of three running days per week (i.e. three
consecutive PM10 samples followed by five
days without sampling) for gravimetric determination of PM10 mass concentrations followed by chemical analysis
of its chemical components. The annual mean PM10
concentration obtained using the laser particle counter with gravimetric
correction was 22.7μg m-3 (365 days), while the mean
for the gravimetric samples was 29.5μg m-3 (134 days).
A total of 94 integrated PM10 samples were
analyzed for 60 chemical species using a combination of inductively
coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP) and ion chromatography (IC).
The concentrations of the main PM10 components
were found to be generally in agreement with the values reported
for other Spanish cities. Bilinear Positive Matrix Factorization
(PMF2) was used to study the sources of PM10
and its constituents. Six main sources of PM10
were identified (average contribution to total PM10
mass in parentheses): crustal material (35%), secondary sulfate
(21%), secondary nitrate (14%), motor vehicles (12%), sea-salt
aerosol (12%) and metallurgical industries (3%).
