Spatial and seasonal variability of the contribution of sources to PM2.5, PM10 and their oxidative potential in different sites in a central Mediterranean area

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: : traffic, BB, sulphate-rich, and crustal (in descending order). The use of soluble and insoluble fractions of OC and Ca in PMF5 allowed a better separation between traffic and BB sources and allowed to determine the role of local construction works. The results may have implications in future policies for mitigation strategies of OP targeting specific sources categories.
