Short summary
Source apportionment based on daily levels of organic and elemental carbon, metals, ions, and organic tracers identified 7 factors, interpreted as anthropogenic and natural sources at both regional and local scales. Mitigation measures would reduce the biomass burning factor, which contributes 21 % to airborne particulate matter annually, primarily during the heating season. Two biogenic factors account for 20 %, the remaining 4 factors are influenced by both anthropogenic and natural sources.
