Abstract
The identification of air pollution sources source apportionment techniques is an important step in the development ofair quality control strategies. In this study 24 -h PMlO particulate matter with aerodynamical diameter 10 J1m samples were collected by using air samplers from three areas representing the estuary of quarry area in Bukit Lagong Selangor during 04 August 2008 to 26 September 2008. Samples n139 were analysed for their elemental composition by using Inductively-Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometer ICP-OES to generate the source composition profiles. After that elemental composition data were used to estimate possible source signatures using Principle Component Analysis PCA and Positive Matrix Factorization PMF statistical methods. The source apportionment results showed that no significant different between the two methods. In conclusion both methods are able to identify major sources of PM /0 with some degree of agreements and correlations.
