CANDANOZA, SARA; GORIBAR, LUIS  and  GARCIA, FRANCISCO. BREATHABLE PARTICULATE MATTER (PM₁₀) AND TOTAL SUSPENDED PARTICLES (TSP) RATIO IN SANTA MARTA (COLOMBIA). Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2013, vol.80, n.179, pp.157-164. ISSN 0012-7353.

Breathable (PM₁₀) and coarse (TSP) particulate matter concentration in air of Santa Marta was determined. The spatial and temporal analysis of PM₁₀/PST ratio showed different areas and months with variation in the concentration of these parameters. Critical values are reported at Zaleza station where PM₁₀ concentration exceeds the daily limit in 83% of the samples collected.
