Resumo: | A correlation analysis based on the concept of singular-value decomposition of a matrix is applied here to an atmospheric aerosol data set, for twelve metals (Al, Ca, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb and Zn),in the Ligurian Sea coastal environment. An iterative procedure allows atypical samples to be discarded, i.e. samples with characteristics significantly different to those of the whole data set. After five atypical samples have been objectively discarded, the general characteristics of the data set are better described and some features are enhanced according to a decreasing order of importance, For example, the mineral dust character of almost every metal is shown, which points out that the marine recycling component is negligible. Marine (Mg, Na) and anthropogenic (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn) contributions are assessed as well. There is also evidence of some peculiar behaviours: among others, Fe clearly exhibits an anthropogenic component; the remainder of automotive Pb is still apparent; Ni exhibits a relatively high crustal component; Zn, despite its recognized anthropogenic character, is not clearly correlated with other anthropogenic metals.
