The application of the SK test shows that, contrary to Rome downtown, a statistically significant annual trend is not detectable at ML (τ = 0.00, Z = − 0.01 and slope − 0.01 μg m −3 year −1 ) and that only during summer a decreasing trend (τ = − 0.40, Z = 2.54 and slope − 4.80 μg m −3 year −1 ) is observable, perhaps suggesting different photochemical regimes and dynamics.
