Abstract
The study of the atmospheric aerosol in the city of Cartagena is being developed from 1990, measuring both total suspended particulate matter (TSP) and heavy metals (lead from 1990, and cadmium, zinc and copper from 1991). We have already collected in this period a daily data base, containing 2,803 TSP data, 3,237 lead data and 478 cadmium, copper and zinc data. Determinations have been carried out by means of gravimetric determinations for TSP, and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) for
