Particulate matter measurements were performed at the Akrotiri research station onthe island of Crete (Greece) using an 8-stages Andersen non-viable impactor. Themain purpose of this work was to measure the ambient levels of PM10 particulatematter and their concentrations of metals and ions in 9 different size bins.The mean PM10 concentration during the first measurement period was equal to 28.3± 12.4 μg/m3, whereas during the period of July 2008 was 41.6 ± 14.0 μg/m3.Moreover, mean concentrations of PM3.3 particulate matter were measured on theaverage equal to a 49 % and 45 % of PM10, respectively. The measurements showedhigh concentration of nanoparticles (with aerodynamic diameter less than 0.9 μm),whereas the mass concentration peak was located at an aerodynamic diameter of 4 -5 μm. Back trajectory analysis showed that during the measurement period windswere mainly originated from North-West direction.
