Abstract

This work focuses on the study of the organic and elemental particle fraction PM10 in the Eastern Mediterranean atmosphere during the period December 2016-September 2017. The samples were taken at the Finokalia atmospheric monitoring station and analyzed by using thermal/optical carbon analyzer for aerosols of Sunset Laboratory Inc. This station is considered representative of the background conditions of the southeast Mediterranean as it is far from areas with human activities. There is a great deal of interest in particulate matter mainly because of its impact on human health and climate change. Compared to gaseous pollutants, suspended particles are difficult to characterize due to their complex chemical composition and their varying size, which may range from a few nanometers to some micrometers. The effects of particulate matter are important and diverse in all areas of the environment, especially in health; depend on their diameters, their chemical composition and the presence of other pollutants with which they act synergistically.
