Ambient PM sub(2.5) samples were collected in Amsterdam, Netherlands; Erfurt, Germany; and Helsinki, Finland, during the winter of 1998 99, and the elemental composition was compared. The elemental composition and air-pollution data were analyzed using principal component analysis to identify the ma...
