The majority of the Spanish urban population breathe air containing inhalable ambient airborne particles at average concentrations of 30-46 mu g m(-3) (PM10) and 20-30 mu g m(-3) (PM2.5). Even though the average weight of inhaled urban aerosol is commonly similar, however, there can be large chemical differences between the ambient dusts from different towns, including the more bioreactive elements such as some metals. In this context, we compare the source-apportioned trace metal content of airborne PM10 and PM2.5 Collected daily over a 1-year period from six population centres in Spain: Barcelona, Alcobendas, Llodio, Huelva, Tarragona and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Total average trace metal (Sigma TM) PM10 and PM2.5 contents vary by up to a factor of around 3, reaching a maximum of Sigma TM10 811 ng m(-3) and Sigma TM2.5 503 ng m(-3) at Llodio, an industrial but humid site with the lowest PM10 mass levels but high contamination by Zn, Pb, Mn, Sn, Ni and Cr. In contrast, pollution at Huelva, although another industrially influenced site, instead emphasises Cu and As, whereas Barcelona, where traffic emissions and resuspension contribute to some of the highest average PM10 levels in Spain, has unusually raised levels of Ti, V and Ba. Such variations in both daily and annual average PM bulk chemistry, particularly in potentially toxic trace metals concentrated in the finer aerosols (such as Cd, As, Pb, Hg and Ni), predict that PM health effects on resident populations from different towns are unlikely to be the same.
