Presents the measured concentrations of iron, zinc, cobalt,chromium, nickel, lead, manganese and sodium in atmospheric inhalablecoarse and fine particles for the period September 1984-April 1986 inJedda, Saudi Arabia. The results show that iron and sodium have thehighest concentrations, indicating that inhalable particles are of soiland sea origin. The metal concentrations of fine inhalable particles aremuch smaller than those of coarse inhalable particles, so that humanhealth is hardly affected.
