Elemental composition of PM2.5 and PM10 was measured from 16 locations in Greater Kolkata in Eastern India. Sampling was carried out in the winter months of 2013–2014. PM2.5 and PM10 mass concentrations ranged from 83–783 μg/m3 and 167–928 μg/m3 respectively. 20 elements were measured with an Agilen...
