Abstract
There were determined following parameters within 64 day campaign conducted in 2008-2009: hourly resolved elemental composition of size segregated aerosol, aersol size distribution dynamic, meteorology parameters, gaseous components, PAH concentration determined in three aerosol size fraction and their genotoxicity evaluated. Also, detailed crystallographic and elemental analysis of samples from the mine and resuspension experiments were conducted.
Sources of the coasre aersol were: high-temperature coal combustion; combustion in local heating boilers; marine aerosol; mineral dust; primary biological/wood burning; road dust, car brakes; and gypsum. The main summer factors were assigned to mineral dust (38.2%) and primary biological/wood burning (33.1%).
In winter, combustion factors dominated (80%) contribution to PM1–10. The conditional probability function (CPF) helped to identified local sources of PM1–10.
The source of marine aerosol from the North Sea and English Channel was indicated by the Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory Model (HYSPLIT).
