“…Hence the gradient of the regression and the intercept with the y-axis are consistent with 1 and 0, respectively, at the 95% confidence interval. The average relative deviation ( da measure of non-random effects 30 ) and average absolution relative deviation ( d A -a measure of random effects 30 ) of the data set may be calculated according to:…”

The manual and semi-automatic methods for the measurement of total gaseous mercury in ambient air have been compared in a field trial for the first time. The comparison results have shown that whilst the expected random scatter is present, there was no significant systematic bias between the two methods, whose operational differences have also been outlined and analysed in this work. Furthermore it has been observed that because variation in instrument sensitivity is largely random in nature there is little effect on the results of the comparison if the period between instrument calibrations is altered. When the manual and semi-automatic methods are compared according to guidelines produced by the European Commission the results presented here, taken together with other supporting evidence, strongly suggest that the two methods are equivalent.

“…The Energy Dispersive X-ray fluorescence technique (ED-XRF) has been extensively used for off-line analysis of trace elements in PM (Brown et al, 2010;Niu et al, 2010;Yatkin et al, 2012). The Xact 625 used in this study implements this technique for online measurements (Geiger et al, 2015;Furger et al, 2017;Tremper et al, 2018).…”

High time resolution organic and inorganic data pose challenges for receptor models.• Inorganic ions, carbonaceous species and trace elements were measured in N Italy.• A multistep approach led to PMF results consistent with off-line and on-line datasets.• The combined dataset led to the identification of more sources.• Source profiles with 87 species were consistent with external data and literature.

“…One-fourth of each PM 2.5 quartz filter was digested in 8 mL of nitric acid and 2 mL of hydrogen peroxide solutions in compliance with the requirements of European standard method EN14905:2005 [25]. Elements extraction was performed inside airtight PTFE digestion vessels using an advanced microwave-based system (MicroSYNTH, Milestone S.r.l., Sorisole, Italy) through three steps of a temperature-programmed procedure, summarized as follows: step 1 (heating): from 35 • C up to 180 • C for 20 min at 1200 W; step 2 (heating): from 180 • C up to 220 • C for 20 min at 1220 W; step 3 (cooling): from 220 • C to 35 • C for 20 min.…”

The present study was aimed at determining airborne concentrations of PAHs, Nitro-/Oxy-PAHs and elements in industrial and urban areas of Taranto, a site of environmental risk in Southern Italy, after the issue of strategic measures for air pollution mitigation and control by the Italian Environment Ministry in 2012. A PM2.5 sampling campaign was carried out from 9 to 28 December 2014 at eight receptor sites, two placed in the urban settlement and five included in the high spatial resolution fence monitoring network of the biggest European steel plant. The integration of collected data with meteorological parameters and source apportionment analysis by Positive Matrix Factorization and bivariate polar plots allowed to discriminate among emission sources and estimate their contributions. Evidence on the effect of distinct processes (homogenization, sintering) occurring inside the steel plant on airborne concentrations of PAHs and selected elements was provided. The impact of emissions from the steel plant “core” on the surrounding area was observed at receptor sites downwind to it. Moreover, the extent of the effectiveness of mitigation measures, partially applied at the moment of study’s beginning, was demonstrated by mean and peak pollutant concentrations at all receptor sites up to one order of magnitude lower than those documented prior to 2012.
