Short summary
The Marseille–Fos basin faces high anthropogenic pressure from industry and maritime and road transport combined with specific weather conditions that further degrade air quality. Our study focuses on fine metallic pollution, which can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause harmful effects. Using 1 year of measurements at two sites, we identified 10 main pollution sources, half directly linked to human activities, highlighting clear risks for the environment and public health.
