Abstract:
In this paper we present an analytic method for theidentification and the quantification of chemical elements in theatmosphere present in TSP and PM10. To the present moment, themethod is applicable to a total of 16 metals. The method was used toanalyze TSP and PM10 samples collected in the city of Canoas, in thegreater Porto Alegre, Brazil. In order to obtain relative measures ofPM10 concentrations, the method was also used to analyze samples from a neutral location. The results were checked against electronicmicroscopy findings, having an excellent agreement. Geologicalanalysis of the electronic microscopy results was used to infer thepollutants source.
