Anthropogenic activities introduce into the environment materials that give rise to increasing levels of many substances which may endanger the environmental quality and represent a hazard to human health. Major attention has been given to those elements who are more liable to alter the environment and endanger human health. The airborne particulate matter pollutant, expecially the distribution and multielemental PM composition, is considered one of the most difficult task in environmental chemistry for its complex composition and implications that complicate notably the behavior comprehension. This study was therefore extended as far back as possible in time (from 1965 until 2000) in order to analyze the trend of airborne concentration of pollutant elements in connection with the industrial and lifestyle growth during the entire period.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities introduce into the environment materials that give rise to increasing levels of many substances which may endanger the environmental quality and represent a hazard to human health. Major attention has been given to those elements who are more liable to alter the environment and endanger human health. The airborne particulate matter pollutant, expecially the distribution and multielemental PM composition, is considered one of the most difficult task in environmental chemistry for its complex composition and implications that complicate notably the behavior comprehension. This study was therefore extended as far back as possible in time (from 1965 until 2000) in order to analyze the trend of airborne concentration of pollutant elements in connection with the industrial and lifestyle growth during the entire period.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
