Abstrakt     Air pollution in the vicinity of coal fired thermal power stations affects airborne particulate properties. Salek valley is one of the most polluted areas in Slovenia. The mass concentrations and chemical composition of APM were analysed at six sampling sites around this, the biggest Slovenian Thermal power plant. Two APM fraction were collected (approximately 2.5 micro m to 15 micro m and finer than approximately 2.5 micro m) on separate filters at each sampling site simultaneously. Elemental concentrations of APM were measured using energy dispersive X-ray flourescence spectrometry. Mass concentrations are higher in residental areas without remote heating. Elevated concentration of As were found in Velenje during August 1992.
