| Abstract | Ambient PM10 and PM2.5 aerosols were monitored in Toulouse from March 2004 to February 2005 (Extensive Observed Period (EOP)) as part of the research project CAPITOUL (Canopy and Aerosol Particles Interaction in TOulouse Urban Layer). Concentrations of 8 major ions (Na+, NH4 +, K+, Mg+2, Ca+2, Cl−, NO3 −, SO4 2−), 15 metal elements (Al, Ba, Cd, Ce, Cr, Cu, Fe, La, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, Th, Ti, Zn), and carbonaceous aerosols [TC, POM and EC (total carbon, organic carbon and elemental carbon, respectively)] were measured in a total of 52 samples of each size. Inter-seasonal variations were analyzed. Weekly PM2.5 and PM10 total mass concentrations (major ions + carbon + metal elements) were 4.4–18.0 µg m−3 and 6.5–23.5 µg m−3, with an annual average concentration of 11.0 ± 3.6 µg m−3 and 13.2 ± 4.3 µg m−3, respectively. The highest concentration for sulfate was found in summer and fall, whereas the highest NO3 − concentration was observed in winter. This study is strengthened by Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney statistical tests.On average, carbonaceous species constitute between 49% and 75% of the monthly concentration registered, POM concentration always remaining higher (ratio more than 51%) than EC in both size ranges. The average OC/EC ratios were 2.70 ± 0.81 and 2.70 ± 0.60 for PM2.5 and PM10, respectively. Secondary organic carbon concentrations were significantly higher in the warmer seasons reaching in summer average ratios of 65.9% and 64.5% of the total OC concentration for PM2.5 and PM10, respectively. Secondary organic carbon was produced in the fine fraction of the aerosol.Metal elements analysis and enrichment factor calculations show that traffic emissions were the major influence on the chemical composition of the urban aerosol. A receptor modeling study was conducted using Principal Component Factor Analysis followed by multi-linear regression analysis in order to provide quantitative insights into the sources of specific chemical components in PM10. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
