Characterization of PM in Snow Samples of Po Valley and Dolomites: Petro Chemistry and Morphology

Many studies have been the carried out in air monitoring in urban areas while the targeted surveys to assess the impact on air quality of snow dispersion for ski activities are rare. Two test areas were studied (Ferrara city in the Po Valley and Alpe Pampeago in the Dolomites) using SEM-EDS technique to identify the morphology of the particles and IC and ICP-MS technique to characterized the chemical composition to better understand the environmental impact of some potential pollutant sources.
