Description
Summary:Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) method has been used to study the composition and possible origin of atmospheric aerosols in the mountain region of Poland. The filters were collected during two periods of one week in summer and in winter in the mountain observatory at 1985 m a.s.l. and in Zakopane, a town situated at the foot of the mountains. The most important contributions to the atmospheric pollution were determined. The comparison of the results obtained at both locations allowed the separation of aerosols into two groups: those due to the local and to the long range pollution.
