To determine chemical composition of indoor particulate matter and to assess contribution of outdoor air pollution, airborne particles have been sampled by two Berner type Low Pressure Impactors collecting and separating PM into 10 size fractions in the size range 0.025 - 10 pm. Samples have been analysed gravimetrically, by Ion Chromatography and PIXE, giving mass, ionic, and elemental size distributions. Further, indoor PM land PM10 particles have been sampled on Whatman 41, Teflon, and quartz filters. The sampling has been carried out on daily basis with two samples collected at each location during four year season. In addition Teflon and quartz filters have been exposed to indoor air for one year to estimate free deposition of dust particles. Filters have been fixed both vertically and horizontally, with horizontal surface facing both upwards and downwards.
