heal.abstract	The measurement of PM10 and TSP in the atmosphere of a former mining site, at the city of Lavrion, Greece was carried out. It was observed that the presence of several industrial plants in the vicinity of the site deteriorated the air quality. The samples of the TSP were collected during the summer period, along with the PM10 summer sampling period with high particulate concentrations. The results shows that Pb, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu could be considered of soil origin, while As, Cd, Cr, and Ni present significant enrichment with respect to contaminated soil origin.	en
