Zusammenfassung:Fine dust is currently seen is one of the major issues in air quality as being responsible for causing negative health effects. Hence it is important to derive information on particle sources and their contribution to the ambient concentrations. This paper reviews two recent studies related to fine particle sources in Germany. The first study deals with the attribution of source regions to PM10 mass concentrations in nine agglomeration areas of Germany. The second study focuses on the diffusive sources from traffic differentiating and quantifying the various non-exhaust related emissions at an Autobahn.
