It also reports source identification by enrichment factors (EF) and a principal component analysis (PCA). There is limited availability of scientific data concerning the chemical composition of dust, including fractionation analyses of trace elements, in the surroundings of power plants. The present study offers important results in order to fill this data gap. The data collected in this study can be utilized to validate air quality models in this rapidly developing area.

Bogucin Mały. Nazwa miejscowości Bogucin Mały pochodzi od sokolnika Boguty, któremu podarowali ten teren właściciele Rabsztyna w XIV w. Niedaleko Bogucina Małego znajduje się Góra Syborowa (445,7 m n.p.m.). Na jej szczycie znajduje się 14 wapiennych skałek z wapieni jurajskich, na terenie nieczynnego wyrobiska kamieni jurajskich.
