Abstract
The concentrations of sulfur and several more elements were measured in a network of six sites in southern Sweden. High time resolution samples were taken using a continuous filter sampler and analysed by particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE). Simultaneous increases in the sulfur concentrations were seen along the network due to the inflow of polluted air masses. High sulfur concentrations generally occurred during south-westerly to easterly air flow. Some of the episodes, distinguished by their shorter duration and their elevated vanadium and nickel concentrations, are suggested to be of local origin.
