Abstract

In this work size distribution of particulate matter(PM) inLas Palmas de Gran Canaria is presented. Experimental measurements were made from June 2002 to march 2003. High volume pumping system equipped with cascade impactors able to separate, on glass fiber filters, six size fractions was used. A total of 42 samples were used. The particulate matter was determined gravimetrically. Mass concentrations distribution as function of cut-off diameters were stablished. Using Lundgreen diagrams size distribution and seasonal and historic evolution were established. Fine and large aerosols and their temporal and historic evolution were studied.
