“…The area's ground surface is mostly made up of limestone, rich in calcium and magnesium carbonates. Moreover, scarce precipitation limits the cleansing of paved surfaces, and as a result, resuspension is favored (Amato et al 2009). The third origin, which may be very important, are fugitive emissions from the nearby quarries.…”

Introduction The concentrations of trace metals, ionic species, and carbonaceous components in PM 10 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters smaller than 10 µm) were measured from samples collected near an industrial complex, primarily composed of cement plants, in southeastern Spain, from September 2005 to August 2006. Materials and methods Positive matrix factorization and conditional probability function were applied to this data set to identify different types of sources. Results Six significant sources were identified: crustal matter, traffic, aged sea salt, industrial emissions, secondary aerosol, and sea salt. The difficulty of separating anthropogenic sources from those of natural origin is highlighted in this study; in particular, the crustal source can be connected with both natural (African outbreaks, wind resuspension) and man-made emissions, like fugitive emissions in an industrial environment.

“…Annual PMio concentrations at the urban background are increased on average by 17% (7 |ig irT 3 ) due to non-exhaust emissions (Amato et al, 2009a), and by 46% due to the total road traffic contribution. Being the regional contribution less than 30% (Amato et al, 2009a), it derives that controlling local sources is very important for attaining PMio limit values. Perez et al (2008) estimated that 80% of daily exceedances of the PMio daily limit value (50 |ig irT 3 ) are caused by anthropogenic mineral dust.…”

“…Road dust resuspension is an important source of PM in cities (Thorpe et al" 2007;Amato et al" 2009a; II Position paper EC). The large contribution of this source to the mass of ambient air PMio severely hampers the attainment of EU PMio limit values in many urban environments (EEA, 2012;Harrison et al, 2008).…”

Particulate matter emissions from paved roads are currently one of the main challenges for a sustainable transport in Europe. Emissions are scarcely estimated due to the lack of knowledge about the resuspension process severely hampering a reliable simulation of PM and heavy metals concentrations in large cities and evaluation of population exposure. In this study the Emission Factors from road dust resuspension on a Mediterranean freeway were estimated per single vehicle category and PM component (OC, EC, mineral dust and metals) by means of the deployment of vertical profiles of passive samplers and terminal concentration estimate. The estimated PMio emission factors varied from 12 to 47 mg VKT -1 (VICT: Vehicle Kilometer Traveled) with an average value of 22.7 ± 14.2 mg VKT -1 . Emission Factors for heavy and light duty vehicles, passenger cars and motorbikes were estimated, based on average fleet composition and EPA ratios, in 187-733 mg VKT -1 , 33-131 VKT -1 , 9.4-36.9 VKT" 1 and 0.8-3.3 VKT -1 , respectively. These range of values are lower than previous estimates in Mediterranean urban roads, probably due to the lower dust reservoir on freeways. PM emitted material was dominated by mineral dust (9-10 mg VKT -1 ), but also OC and EC were found to be major components and approximately 14 -25% and 2-9% of average PM exhaust emissions from diesel passenger cars on highways respectively.

“…those below ≤10, ≤2.5, ≤1 µm in aerodynamic diameter, respectively) based on the PMCs [7]. Vehicle emissions are well established as a significant source of PNCs [8,9] whilst road dust is a major source of PMCs [10]. At the same time, many building activities associated with the creation and management of urban infrastructure also emit particles across the range of PM10 and PM2.5 [11].…”
