Abstract

The aim of this study was to the status of ambient TSP ~ PM0.1 in Akure, a typical inland local city in Nigeria. Using a cascade air sampler with stages of PM10/2.5/1/0.5/0.1, a set of size fractionated samples were collected for continuous 7-days in a local city, Akure, Nigeria. Particle mass concentration and particle-bound chemicals as carbons, ions, WISOC, WSOC in each size fraction were evaluated to discuss possible contributions of local emission source. The distribution of hot spots and air mass trajectory were also discussed. Traffic, biomass and plastic waste burning may be possible local emission sources. PM0.1 may be influenced both by biomass and fossil fuel burnings.
