Abstract: Pollutants in particulate matter (PM) are associated with respiratory disorders. Data on indoor concentration of elemental chemical pollutants in highly polluted areas is scanty. In the context of RESPIRA Project, we evaluated both outdoor and indoor concentrations of air pollutants in the Mediterranean area. Gravimetric samples of PM with aerodynamic diameter<br />N/A
