Correlations among inorganic and organic elements in particulate matter (PM10) in urban area of Venezia-Mestre

Ilaria Mantovan et al. Ann Chim. 2003 Apr.

Abstract

Concentrations of inhalable particulate matter (PM10), Pb, Zn, Pt, Ce, Cd, Se and of Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) were determined in three locations near Venice from September 2000 to September 2001. Meteorological conditions were considered during the sampling period. All components showed higher concentrations during winter, except for Cd and Se in the two sites at Mestre. Spatial and temporal variations were observed. There were correlations between Pb and Zn and PM10, Cd and Se, Pb and BaP and, in the main street sampling site, also between BaP and Pt. Their possible sources of emission are discussed on the basis of correlations among elements.
