Source apportionment using PMF receptor model of airborne PM10 in the Port-City of Rijeka (Croatia)

This study was a part of MED project POSEIDON, with aim to compare air pollution by particulates in 4 ports: Brindisi, Patras, Venice and Rijeka. PMF receptor model was used for apportionment of principal air pollution sources. The receptor model was applied to existing data on air pollution with PM10, Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Fe, Cl-, NO3- , SO42-, NH4+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+ and 12 species of PAHs from 2008 to 2010. These constituents formed only 44 % of total PMF mass. Results obtained from the PMF model indicated 5 principal air pollution sources/factors in Rijeka: Biomass Combustion (4%), Secondary Inorganic Aerosols (21 %), Metal Industry (5 %), Sea Spray (8%) and Soil/Road Dust (6%). Conditional Probability Function was used to show connection between wind directions and factors in order to determine particulate sources of PM10 air pollution: shipyards, oil refineries, waste yards, roads, domestic heating, sea, and port.
