ABSTRACT

United Kingdom) coupled with a personal air sampling pump (AirChek® 2000; SKC Ltd., Dorset, United Kingdom) using a flow rate of 2.0 L min-1. Particulate samples were collected on polytetrafluoroethylene membranes (SKC Ltd., Dorset, United Kingdom; 2 μm porosity, Ø37 mm); after gravimetric mass determination (Oliveira et al. 2016a; Slezakova et al. 2014b) disks were stored in containers in freezer (–18°C) for subsequent chemical analysis.
