Abstract Total suspended particulates (TSP) and metal concentrations were determined from October 1982 to September 1983 in the “Campo de Gibraltar”, an Industrial zone where there are important residential areas. The data included in this paper provide basic information on concentrations of 13 elements (Al, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, V and Zn) in air to establish those areas where the major atmospheric levels of certain elements generally occur, to estimate the sources of such elements and to show their temporal variation.
