Mediterranean Basin. Additional studies of the finer particle fractions and chemical
characterisation will elucidate the sources and impact of particle pollution in the area.
Particularly there is a lack of data on carbonaceous aerosol that organic and elemental
carbon observations could help to distinguish the contribution of secondary versus
primary sources.
