Description	Experimental values of particle-associated fraction were compared to the Junge-Pankow model. Interestingly, a model for urban/industrial environments provided better prediction of partitioning behavior than a model for background and rural background sites. That is probably because the total amount of the atmospheric particles is higher in Balkan region than in the previously published studies.
