Abstract

The scientifically backed conclusion that pollution with particulate matter presents an important negative effect on human health is the driver of the present study. Not only are the results presented herein a completion, and to some small extent a confirmation, of a previous study, but these findings are also a confirmation of the need to further investigate the best way for monitoring particulate matter pollution in agglomerated areas throughout the world. This need is emphasized by the moderately positive results obtained in this measuring campaign that was carried out in an indoor location of an industrial city and near a heavily circulated road. The results presented in this study were obtained by utilizing advanced methods such as optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
