Lead, manganese and cadmium content i PM10 and PM2.5 particle fractions-a pilot study

This paper describes a pilot study of lead, manganese and cadmium content in thoracic and-high risk respirable fraction of airborne particles. Samples were collected at one measuring site in Zagreb during autumn 1998 and spring 1999. The results show that the total heavy metal content is found in the high-risk respirable particle fraction, and point to two main pollutant sources, the first for lead and manganese, and the other for cadmium.
