| Abstract | Air pollution, especially particulate matter (PM), can infl uence human health, the condition of cultural heritage and climate. Initial studies of air pollution involved the analysis of the PM10 fraction (particulate matter with particle diameter less or equal to 10 m). The PM10 fraction was broadly characterized from the perspective of several physicochemical aspects [1–3]. Currently an increasing amount of research is being conducted focusing on the characterization of the PM2.5 fraction [4–6]. This is due to the fact that small particles can much more easily penetrate the human respiratory tract. These particles have been associated with both short-term and long-term adverse health effects, including chronic respiratory disease, heart disease, lung cancer and damage to other organs [7]. The effects on human health are related to both chemical and physical properties of particulate matter. The chemical content of particulate matter has a signifi cant effect on its toxicity [8].
