Study of traffic pollution by metals in Seville (Spain) by physical and chemical speciation methods

Eighty-three samples of atmospheric particles were collected at a representative traffic site in the Mediterranean city of Seville during a period of one year. Urban particles were collected on quartz filters with a high-volume sampler coupled with a cascade impactor which separates particles into s...

Description
Summary:Eighty-three samples of atmospheric particles were collected at a representative traffic site in the Mediterranean city of Seville during a period of one year. Urban particles were collected on quartz filters with a high-volume sampler coupled with a cascade impactor which separates particles into six size ranges: >10, 10–4.9, 4.9–2.7, 2.7–1.3, 1.3–0.6, and
