The size distribution of metals in aerosols has been studied in 12 areas of the city of Seville. Urban particles were collected with a high-volume sampling system equipped with a cascade impactor, which effectively separates the particulate matter into six-size ranges. Forty-one samples were collected in spring 1996. Each filter was extracted with a mixture of nitric and percloric acids. The acid solutions of the samples were analysed in six-particle fractions by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The impactor stage fractionation of particles shows a typical bimodal distributions, one corresponding to the fine mode below 1 mum (55%), and the other to the coarse mode around 10 mum (32%). With regard to the size distribution of metals, we concluded that potentially toxic metals, such as nickel, lead and cadmium are mainly accumulated in the smaller particles, with percentages of 72.6, 69.4 and 63.8 %, respectively. Lead have a concentration of 63.7 ng m(-3), more than copper and manganese (26.7 and 16.5 ng m(-3)) and above all more than nickel, cobalt and cadmium (1.97, 0.54 and 0.32 ng m(-3)).
