Short summary
This study reports on seasonal variations of five oxidative potential (OP) assays of PM from the city of Chamonix over a 1-year period. A detailed PM10 characterization allowed univariate and multivariate regression analyses in order to obtain further insight into groups of chemical species that drive OP measurements. Evidence is presented of intercorrelation assays and seasonal contrasts.
