Abstract
The aim of this preliminary study is the identification and the apportionment of
atmospheric sources influencing the quality of ambient air in the vicinity of MSWI of Toulon. A
multivariate receptor model, Unmix, has been applied to ambient elementary concentration data of PM10
fraction measured at five sites around the MSWI. Four composition profiles have been estimated : a
marine source (Na-Mg), re-suspended particles (Ti-Ai), an industrial source (Ba-Cu-Fe) and a fourtlii
source characterised by Zn-Ca association. The marine source (40% of the total contribution) is the major
source influencing the ambient air. This is in accordance with the coastal environment of the study area.
The re-suspended particles (23%) is a mixing of soil and industrial dust coming from urban area. The
analysis of meteorological data at two sites localise at the north of MSWI show that both industrial
(19%) rand Zn-Ca (17%) sources could corne from MSWI.
