Short summary
Major carbonaceous aerosol species were apportioned among FF combustion, BB and biogenic sources in various types of atmospheric environments of interest in the Carpathian Basin in different months representing different seasons. The conclusions present novel and valuable research contributions on a large area in central Europe.
