Abstract Measurements made of the composition of total suspended particulate (TSP) amtter collected at 5 sites in Seville, were examined by use of factor analysis and chemical element balance. The results show that soil-derived aerosol makes up the largest fraction of the TSP (37%), followed by limestone (17%). Small contributions (less than 5% each) from refuse incineration, motor vehicles, marine aerosol and fuel oil combustion were also identified. Most of the analyzed elements are reasonably well fitted, with predicted/observed ration near to 1.
