In order to identify the different fugitive emission sources in the industrial area of Taranto and assess their impact on air quality in the surrounding urban area, an intensive monitoring campaign of PM10 and PM2.5 was carried out from January 28th to July 30th, 2011, in seven sites: four next to industrial plants and the other three distributed in different areas of Taranto. The processing by bivariate polarplot of data about the PAHs concentrations, diagnostic ratios among PAHs, and B/T ratios, resulted an useful tool to identify and assess the impact of fugitive emission in specific anemometric conditions. Moreover, the source apportionment analysis allowed to quantify the contribution of each source to the concentrations of pollutants measured at receptor site.

Abstract

In order to identify the different fugitive emission sources in the industrial area of Taranto and assess their impact on air quality in the surrounding urban area, an intensive monitoring campaign of PM10 and PM2.5 was carried out from January 28th to July 30th, 2011, in seven sites: four next to industrial plants and the other three distributed in different areas of Taranto. The processing by bivariate polarplot of data about the PAHs concentrations, diagnostic ratios among PAHs, and B/T ratios, resulted an useful tool to identify and assess the impact of fugitive emission in specific anemometric conditions. Moreover, the source apportionment analysis allowed to quantify the contribution of each source to the concentrations of pollutants measured at receptor site.
