Abstract

This work allows us to demonstrate the influence of several sources on the emission of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) based on historical data from the city of Medellín, between 2009 and 2011. The complete analysis of hourly variations in the concentration of PM2.5  show that there is a clear seasonal behavior of the data, with the appearance of a clearly differentiated peak in the morning hours. This phenomenon is related to the influence of vehicle traffic and to the dispersion conditions of pollutants at the Valle de Aburrá, Colombia. A chemical analysis of the collected samples confirmed the influence of traffic on concentrations PM2.5. Finally, based on the PM2.5 characterization, the PMF model was applied to identify the sources of PM2.5 in three zones of the urban area with high mobility.
