Abstract: Reports on the development of mini step samplers with low manufacturing and running costs for application in multi-site air-pollution monitoring. Consistency of elemental compositions of aerosol collected by the samplers during comparison; Use of particle-induced X-ray emission to analyze aerosol samples; Conclusion that copper was transported to the sites from northeasterly direction and zinc concentrations were influenced by two factories nearby.
