Article Synopsis
- Atmospheric aerosols (PM) impact air quality and climate even in remote regions like Antarctica, but existing monitoring methods are often complex and slow.
- A new method using micro laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) enables efficient characterization of PM collected in filters, allowing for real-time insights with minimal sample destruction.
- This innovative approach provides detailed mapping of pollutants in filters at high spatial resolution, making it ideal for isolated areas where traditional equipment is impractical.
Quantification of particulate matter, tracking the origin and relationship between elements for the environmental monitoring of the Antarctic region.

The present work reports on the analysis of atmospheric aerosols in the Antarctic region, Deception Island, collected during austral summer 2016-2017 by field measurements carried from Gabriel de Castilla Spanish Research Station. A low-volume sampler was used to capture the aerosols depositing them onto the air filters. A chemical analysis of the samples using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) provided the total carbon (TC), organic carbon (OC), elemental Carbon (EC) and elements such as Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, P, S, Cu, Pb, Sr, Ti, Zn and Cr.
