ABSTRACT:
A method of determining source areas of pollution aerosol. Selected pollution derived, fine particle tracer elements from within the source region are measured. The measured results are expressed as ratios to one of the tracer elements. A signature of the source region is determined from modes in the logarithmic frequency of the ratios of the tracer elements. Measurements are made of the tracer elements from a receptor region and elemental ratios constructed. The elemental ratios from the receptor region are compared with the signatures from possible source regions to determine the most probable source region.
