The increasing interest in the role of aerosols in the atmosphere leads to a growing need to their measurements in the environment. For this reasons, the detailed studies of aerosols were also included into the existing European project ACTRIS (www.actris.net). One of the ACTRIS part is the coordinated long-term measurement of aerosol chemistry both with Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitors (ACSM) (Ng et al., 2011) and by other types of Aerosol Mass Spectrometers (AMS) (Canagaratna et al., 2007). The measurement network includes many background stations (including urban background sites) all over Europe (http://www.psi.ch/acsm-stations/acsm-and-emep-stations). One of the participating stations was also an urban background site in Prague. This paper presents preliminary results characterizing the fine aerosol at this site during two intensive (summer and winter) measurement campaigns.
