Na, CI, Mn, V, A1, Sm, Mo, W, La, As, Br, Sb, K, Ba, Se, Th, Cr, Rb, Ca, Fe, Ce, and Sc were determined by INAA, and A1, Si, P, S, C1, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, Hg, and Pb were determined by EDXRF. A preliminary identification of the main source of the atmospheric aerosol was performed based on enrichment factor and correlation coefficient calculations.231-242openAccesschemical analysistrace amountselementsx-ray fluorescence analysisneutron activation analysisaerosolsair samplersurban areasair pollutionArtigo de periódico12610.1007/BF02992676
