Abstract
Particulate matter (PM) is considered a critica! parameter in assessing air quality. The particles have a very wide influence on the environment and human health. The ultimate goal of this work is the quantification of sources of PM in the three largest industrial areas in Andalusia: Ría de Huelva, Campo de Gibraltar and Bailén. The highest PM levels were recorded at the Bailén monitoring station. The chemical characterization of PM10 and PM2_5 has shown that trace elements are the main to identi:tying the characteristic chemical profile of each industrial zone. The chemical pro file is closely related with the characteristics of the activities in each area: As, Se, Cu, Cd, (Huelva); V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Nb, Mo, Ba and La (El Campo de Gibraltar) and V, Ni, Se, Rb, Ba and TI show significant enrichment in PM related to the ceramic industry emissions located in Bailén.
