title: Measurement and chemical speciation of PM10 in Mumbai City, India.
abstract: Mass concentrations of PM10 were high at all locations of Mumbai city in all seasons. From the enrichment analysis, it was observed that high enrichment of metals existed at all sites, the reason for which could be the effects of meteorology and trans-boundary movement of pollutants. Multivariate statistical analysis tools were used to identify common sources, viz. road dust, biomass burning, secondary aerosol, brake wear, residual oil combustion, smelting, natural soil, vehicles tyre wear, and marine aerosol. Findings indicate that most of the sites were dominated by local sources based on activities in the vicinity of the sampling locations.
