Resumen
A regional study shows how the maximum Cu, Zn and Cd levels of Andalusia (South of Spain) were registered in Lepanto, an urban background site located in Cordoba city. These levels were higher than ones registered in historical industrial polluted areas such as Huelva or the strait of Gibraltar. In this study we carried out an intensive measurement campaign with the aim of investigating the relationship between several metallurgic airborne emissions and the geochemical anomalies observed at the city. The results show how geochemical anomalies (Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd, specially) observed in the ambient air samples collected in the city are closely related to the geochemical profile obtained in the stack and fugitive metallurgy emissions.
