CHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE INHALABLE PARTICULATE MATTER IN CITY OF CHILLAN, CHILE
Inhalable particulate matter (PM10) measurements were performed in six different sites in the city of Chillán, Chile, during September 2001 to September 2002. Chemical composition of PM10 was performed to samples of 47 mm diameter Teflon membranes within the city of Chillán. The spatial and temporal...
