In this paper, we present a multivariate receptor model for identifying the spatial location of major PM10 pollution sources. We build on a mixed multiplicative log-normal factor model adjusting the source contributions for meteorological covariates and for temporal correlation and considering source profiles as compositional Gaussian random fields, to account for the variability induced by the spatial distribution of the monitoring sites. Taking a Bayesian approach to estimation, the proposed model is implemented and used to analyze average daily PM10 concentration measurements from 13 monitoring sites in Taranto, Italy, for the period April-December 2005. Three major sources of pollution are identified and characterized in terms of their spatial and temporal behavior and in relation to meteorologic data.

Abstract
In this paper, we present a multivariate receptor model for identifying the spatial location of major PM10 pollution sources. We build on a mixed multiplicative log-normal factor model adjusting the source contributions for meteorological covariates and for temporal correlation and considering source profiles as compositional Gaussian random fields, to account for the variability induced by the spatial distribution of the monitoring sites. Taking a Bayesian approach to estimation, the proposed model is implemented and used to analyze average daily PM10 concentration measurements from 13 monitoring sites in Taranto, Italy, for the period April-December 2005. Three major sources of pollution are identified and characterized in terms of their spatial and temporal behavior and in relation to meteorologic data.File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
