Increased industry contribution and atmospheric heavy metals from economic recovery in Spain

Ten years ago, Spain was hit by a severe economic crisis (2009–2013), while the economy recovered in 2014. In the present study, the source changes of PM10 from pre- and post-economic crisis to economic recovery were investigated using receptor model (Positive Matrix Factorization: PMF). PM10 sample...

Description
Summary:Ten years ago, Spain was hit by a severe economic crisis (2009–2013), while the economy recovered in 2014. In the present study, the source changes of PM10 from pre- and post-economic crisis to economic recovery were investigated using receptor model (Positive Matrix Factorization: PMF). PM10 samples were collected during 2014 at six different sites in Andalusia, located in the southern Spain (1–7° W, 37–39° N). Seven source factors were identified as soil dust (17.9–34.8%), road traffic (12.2–25.9%), industrial emission (1.2–16.6%), oil combustion (0–16.1%), sea salt (5.0–15.7%), secondary nitrate (
