Local and regional sources of air pollutants at Northern Lisbon area, Portugal.
Aerosol chemical composition data for PM(2.5) and PM(2.5-10), were acquired from 1999 to 2002 at a sub-urban area located at Northern Lisbon area. Monte Carlo target transformation factor analysis (MCTTFA) was used to identify the main sources of air particulate matter.
