Notes 
Sampling MethodsFilters collected at the the impact point of emission plume on the ground in the proximities of emission sources with Graseby Andersen reference high volume captors (EN12341, 68 m3/h). The impact points were detected with the support of a correlation spectrometer (COSPEC) and a real time SO2 analyzer at the ground. Due to the episode duration the captors sampled a low volume of air, giving rise to some artifacts (see text). The relative analytical errors are declared to be between 3% and 10% for all elements studied.
