Atmospheric pollution is one of the major sources of heavy
metal contamination. Elemental content of airborne particulate
matter can provide important information on the degree of atmospheric
pollution and further evaluation of the potential health risk
to the population. Several epidemiological studies have shown
positive correlation between different aerosol characteristics and
increased human morbidity and mortality (Curtis et al., 2006;
Isik et al., 2006). The airborne particles significantly several
