Origin analysis of PM10 and its ingredients

Description

Particulate matter can be transported over several hundred kilometres, leading to an increased load even far from their place of origin. The extra-alpine area of Austria — examined the cities of Vienna, Linz, Salzburg and Graz — is reached by long distance transport of dust from large emitters and cities in Eastern Central Europe. In addition, regional pollutant accumulation plays an important role. The contribution of long-distance transport to the urban background pollution of fine dust lies between 15 and 45 % in the extra-Alpine cities of Austria, and between 30 and 45 % of the regional accumulation. The main regions of origin are Romania, Northern Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovenia.
