Abstract: The aerosol was sampled simultaneously at two measurement sites (i.e. traffic and urban background sites) in Katowice and Zabrze. The sampling was performed with 13-stage DLPI cascade impactors (manufactured by Dekati). The Hgp content was determined with the CVAAS method (MA-2 analyzer manufactured by NIC). The Hgp mass size distribution was generally bimodal. The main modal value of the distribution (maximum) was observed for the particle range of 0.4–1 μm (so-called accumulation fraction). The other lower mode was locally oriented and observed for fine (0.108–0.17 μm – Zabrze) or coarse (2.5–4.4 μm – Katowice) particles, which depended on the Hgp source.
