| Abstract: | The relationship between the concentrations or elemental carbon (EC) and lead (Pb) in urban aerosols from the two countries was investigated. The cities in the United States (U.S.) and France (FR), selected for study based on similarities in their populations and general industry, were: Senonches, FR and Clemson, SC; Clermont-Ferrand, FR and Akron, OH; Strasbourg, FR and Norfolk, VA; Paris, FR and Chicago, IL; and Orleans, FR. The data show that both species in each country are semi-logarithmically related to population. However, in the largest cities, the French aerosol contained significantly higher levels of both EC and Pb. The mean EC concentrations in rural towns, small cities and large urban areas were approximately 1.2−1.7; 2.4−3.0; and 4.6−7.9 μg m−3. Mean Pb concentrations were 0.005−0.006; 0.03−0.07; and 0.06−0.44 μg m−3 for the same cities. |
