Short summary
Chemical characterization of fine aerosol was conducted due to air pollution by fine particles in the last decade. The diagnostic ratios and CMB receptor model based on organic markers showed that gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles are the main emission sources (CMB = 64 %) of this class of organic compounds in PM2.5. Other pyrogenic sources as contributors to fine aerosols. Fine particles are related to human health impacts. In addition, these results can be useful for policy making.
