摘要：

High heavy element contents were found in the aerosol in part of the Chilean central Los Andes mountain range. An important contamination source was found to be the copper mine, El Teniente. Samples were taken with battery-powered Stacked Filter Units (SFU), and sites were reached by using mules. The analysis was done by the PIXE system at the University of Chile. A very definite relation between the distance to El Teniente and the aerosol content of heavy metals (Cu, Zn and As) and sulfur was found. Some discussion about the peculiarity of this sampling and the implications of the results is carried out.
