title: The relationship between the mass concentrations of sulphate and sulphur dioxide in air polluted with cement dust.
abstract: The relationship between the mass concentrations of sulphate and SO2 in air was studied over a 1-year period in an area polluted by cement dust. The relationship is described by the equation y = axb, where y is the percentage of sulphate sulphur in total sulphur (sulphate and SO2) and x is the mass concentration of the total sulphur content of the air. According to our previous results, coefficients a and b are characteristic of urban and industrial areas. In the investigated area polluted by cement dust, coefficients a and b characteristic of industrial areas were obtained only during the summer period when cement dust particles predominated. In the winter and over the 1-year period, the influence of other particulate components, which were probably products of fuel combustion, predominated. They were detected because the measuring site was located about 1 km from urban settlements.
