Abstract

Abstract:
Outdoor aerosol particles were characterized in industrial area of Samalut city (El-
Minia/Egypt) using low pressure Berner cascade impactor as an aerosol sampler. The
impactor operates at 1.7 m3/h flow rate. Seven elements were investigated including Ca, Ba,
Fe, K, Cu, Mn and Pb using atomic absorption technique. The mean mass concentrations of
the elements ranged from 0.42 ng/m3 (for Ba) to 89.62 ng/m3 (for Fe). The mass size
distributions of the investigated elements were bi-modal log normal distribution
corresponding to the accumulation and coarse modes.
