Abstract:
Total air particulate matter of the city of Isfahan has been measured for elemental characterization in four principal directions of the city and during the year 2007-2008. High volume air samplers using whatman 41 filters have been utilized and instrumental neutron activation analysis has been used as the analytical method. Twenty one elements arising from seasonal and geographical distributions of the various elements have been determined. These distribution patterns have been discussed in view of the prevailing wind direction, location of the industrial facilities, and the Pearson correlation coefficients
