ResumoThis work aims at the study of the air quality determination regarding the total suspended particles (TSP) and the associated metals in the counties of Charqueadas and Sapucaia do Sul at the state of Rio Grande do Sul.The TSP samples were collected using high volume samplers and the analysis of the metallic elements was accomplished through ICP-AES.The results revealed that the TSP concentrations, found in the two studied regions, have exceded the current air quality patterns established by the Brazilian Legislation.They also revealed high levels of several of the elements being attributed to the presence of anthropogenic sources.The correlation between meteorological data (speed and wind direction) and TSP concentrations were significant and revealed strong influence in particle dispersion.
