Sažetak
Many epidemiological studies have implicated the association between exposure to particulate matter (PM) and adverse human health eects, especially metal content as a possible harmful component of PM. Twentyfour-hour samples of PM10 were collected on cellulose filters at a polluted industrial monitoring site for one month and analyzed using the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS). The method was used to quantify airborne concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Tl, and Zn. The results were compared with Croatian and European legislation.
