“…3). By comparing the mean value of the PM 1 daily concentrations registered in Viggiano with those reported in other studies, it can be observed that it is generally lower than those found at other sites (Cusack et al, 2013;Onat et al, 2013;Perrone et al, 2014;Theodosi et al, 2011;Caggiano et al, 2010;Pérez et al, 2008a, b;Marenco et al, 2006;Gomišček et al, 2004) and, in particular, it is lower than the PM 1 concentration mean value (11.0±5.1 µg m −3 ) measured close to the COVA plant from July to November 2011 (Trippetta et al, 2013).…”

Abstract. A PM1 (i.e., aerosol particles with aerodynamic diameter less 1.0 μm) short term monitoring campaign was carried out in Agri Valley (southern Italy) in September 2012. This area is of international concern since it houses the largest European on-shore reservoir and the largest oil/gas pre-treatment plant (i.e., Centro Olio Val d'Agri – COVA) within an anthropized context. PM1 measurements were performed in Viggiano, the nearest town to the COVA plant and one of the most populated town of the Agri Valley. During the study period, the PM1 daily concentrations ranged from 1.2 to 8.4 μg m−3 with a mean value of 4.6 μg m−3. Regarding the PM1 chemical composition, it can be observed that S and typical crustal elements were the most abundant constituents of the PM1 collected. By applying the Principal Component Analysis, it was pointed out that crustal soil, biomass and wood burning, secondary atmospheric reactions involving COVA plant emissions and local soil particles, and traffic were the main sources contributing to the PM1 measured in the area under study. Moreover, a possible contribution of the long-range transport of African dust was observed.

“…Compared with Barcelona [ 58 ], all heavy metal concentrations for Kunming were higher: Cu, Zn and Pb were more than twice as high and Cr was 4.85 times higher. In Istanbul [ 59 ], the level of Cr was 4.18 times higher, but other heavy metals were lower. Similarly, as a plateau mountain city, the city of Lanzhou [ 60 ] also has very high concentrations of heavy metals in PM 2.5 .…”

To explore the mass concentration levels and health risks of heavy metals in the air in dense traffic environments, PM2.5 samples were collected at three sites in the city of Kunming in April and October 2013, and January and May 2014. Ten heavy metals––V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb––were analyzed by ICP–MS, and the results showed PM2.5 concentrations significantly higher in spring and winter than in summer and autumn, especially for Zn and Pb. The concentration of heavy metals on working days is significantly higher, indicating that vehicle emissions are significant contributors. An enrichment factor analysis showed that Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb come mainly from anthropogenic sources, while V and Co may be both anthropogenic and natural. The correlation and principal component analysis (PCA) showed that Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb mainly come from vehicles emissions and metallurgical industries; Cr and Mn, from vehicles emissions and road dust; and As, mainly from coal combustion. The health risk assessment shows that the non-carcinogenic risk thresholds of the heavy metals in PM2.5 to children and adult men and women are all less than 1. The carcinogenic risk of Cr for men and women in traffic-intensive areas exceeds 10−4, reaching 1.64 × 10−4 and 1.4 × 10−4, respectively.
