Abstract

Highlights: [•] Surface analysis by XPS on PM10 is compared with results obtained from bulk analysis. [•] A method to give a more detailed fit of the carbon photoelectronic signal is proposed. [•] Surface is enriched in carbon and a speciation of this element was done. [•] The concentration of sulfate has the same value as on the surface and in the bulk. [•] An organic component of sulfur was found only on the surface. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
