Elemental chemical characterization and morphology of PM10 using SEM/EDS in air quality monitoring station filters in Poza Rica, Veracruz, Mexico

Air quality has been a global problem for several decades and had approaches its mitigation, analysis quantification. There are ways methods to quantify primary secondary air pollutants. Therefore, the objective of this research was determine, through SEM-EDS analysis, elemental chemical characterization morphology compounds present in tapes PM10 BAM (Beta Attenuation Mass Monitor) equipment from monitoring campaigns city Poza. Rica, Veracruz Mexico. The methodology consisted collecting filter stations used evaluation period, sampling performed by SEM/EDS scanning electron microscopy technique. results allowed identifying samples particles retained them.
