Abstract
⺠Chemical Mass Balance receptor modeling of PM10 was carried out at two sites in the Rhodes Island, Eastern Mediterranean. ⺠Vehicular emissions, secondary sulfates and geological dusts were found to be the major PM10 contributors. ⺠The nearby power plant was negligible contributor to PM10, but contributed appreciably to V and Ni. ⺠Trajectory analysis indicated long range transport of soil dust from arid regions of Minor Asia. ⺠Transport of biomass burning aerosol from countries surrounding the Black Sea was assumed.
