Abstract

High-time resolution (1 hour) measurements of 11 species (organic carbon, elemental carbon,
chloride, nitrite, nitrate, sulfate, sodium, ammonium, potassium, magnesium, calcium) within
the PM2.5 were conducted, from 3rd May to 30th June 2010, in a coastal site of Basilicata
(Italy). Acquired data were analysed through Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) method in
order to individuate potential emission sources. This source apportionment evaluation revealed
5 factors separated as Vehicular traffic, Combustion of biomass, Secondary aerosol, Aged
marine, Marine fresh and Dust. For each factor were defined profile, temporal trend, 24hcycle
and percentage contribution to measured PM2.5, also emphasizing the relationship between
factors and different wind conditions.
