| Abstract: | In the present work we report the results of the analysis of the aerosol sampled in an industrial area in the neighborhood of the city of Barcelona using the exploratory FA technique. For this purpose samples of aerosol have been collected and analyzed for Zn, Pb, Ni, Mn, Fe, V, Ca and Al as well as for NO−3, Br−, SO2−4 and Cl−. After performing the factor analysis on the correlation matrix the factors have been rotated by means of the VARIMAX procedure. Finally, it is shown that the combination of metals and anions as tracers in addition to the use of factor analysis as a receptor model is satisfactory. |
