Atmospheric dispersion of particles from mine waste is potentially an important route of human exposure to metals in communities close to active and abandoned mining areas.

In this study, we assessed sources of mass and metal concentrations in two size fractions of respirable particles using positive matrix factorization (EPA PMF 3.0).
