摘要: Abstract Samples of airborne particulate matter have been collected in three cities different parts the world. In Birmingham, U.K. and Coimbra, Portugal, samples were PM10 whilst Lahore, Pakistan, total suspended particulates collected. The analysed for a wide range metallic constituents, black carbon organic carbon, soluble ions, SO42−, NO-, Br-, Cl− NH4+. A receptor modelling study has conducted data from each city using Principal Component Factor Analysis followed by multi-linear regression analysis order to provide quantitative insights into sources specific chemical components (or PM10) cities. This methodology, applied separately coarse fine fractions Birmingham reveals between four six source categories according location size fraction, sites Coimbra northern southern Europe, respectively, show considerable similarities, there are large contrasts with Lahore its dryer climate poorly controlled pollution sources. detailed intercomparison attributions lead PM1O/TSP. case lead, shown correspond closely national atmospheric emissions inventory. Large differences contributions seen PM,o/TSP, soil dust estimated contribute 62% atmosphere but contributing much less where road traffic comprise substantial percentage total.
