The chemical-physical characterization of suspended particulate matter and particulate deposition, heavy metals and benzo[a]pyrene, found in the town of Taranto and the nearby industrial area (steelworks, cement production, refinery).
Atmospheric deposition Bulks, air of High Volume (HV) samplers equipped with PM10 probe and total suspended particulate matter samplers were used.
4 sites of monitoring in different urban areas: two of them close to the cokery, one near the school, and the last one in the town of Statte (Taranto).
Determination of suspended and deposition particulate matter concentration, further determination of heavy metal concentration in the suspended and deposition particulate matter, and determination of BaP concentration.
Data evidenced that in the site of Tamburi Cemetery (near the cokery) suspended particulate matter PM10 concentrations vary with the different seasons (warm period: 67 microg/m3, cold period: 39 microg/m3). Lead concentrations are lower than the national limit (0,5 microg/m3); for those heavy metals not yet regulated by law, values are comparable with other industrial areas. Deposition particulate matter concentrations found nearby the steelworks (warm period: 699 mg/m2d, cold period 575 mg/m2d), vary in each different monitoring site. In the town of Statte (Taranto) the concentrations found are: 236 mg/m2d in the warm period, and 154 mg/m2d in the cold period. BaP concentrations for PM10 found in the area of Tamburi near the cookery are the following: 1,9 ng/m3 in the warm period, and 2,6 ng/m3 in the cold period.
A very compromised situation is found in the area under study as regard air quality, especially the particulate matter in its different fractions and its content of organic and inorganic pollutants.
对在塔兰托镇及其附近工业区（钢铁厂、水泥厂、炼油厂）发现的悬浮颗粒物、颗粒物沉积、重金属和苯并[a]芘进行化学物理特性分析。
使用配备PM10探头的大气沉降样本、大容量（HV）空气采样器以及总悬浮颗粒物采样器。
在不同城区设置4个监测点：其中两个靠近炼焦厂，一个靠近学校，最后一个在斯塔特镇（塔兰托）。
测定悬浮和沉积颗粒物浓度，进一步测定悬浮和沉积颗粒物中的重金属浓度，以及测定BaP浓度。
数据表明，在坦布里公墓（靠近炼焦厂）监测点，悬浮颗粒物PM10浓度随季节变化（温暖期：67微克/立方米，寒冷期：39微克/立方米）。铅浓度低于国家限值（0.5微克/立方米）；对于那些尚未有法律规定的重金属，其数值与其他工业区相当。在钢铁厂附近发现的沉积颗粒物浓度（温暖期：699毫克/平方米·天，寒冷期575毫克/平方米·天），在每个不同监测点有所不同。在斯塔特镇（塔兰托）发现的浓度为：温暖期236毫克/平方米·天，寒冷期154毫克/平方米·天。在靠近炼焦厂的坦布里地区，PM10的BaP浓度如下：温暖期为1.9纳克/立方米，寒冷期为2.6纳克/立方米。
在所研究区域发现空气质量状况非常糟糕，尤其是不同组分的颗粒物及其有机和无机污染物含量。
