Various receptor methodologies have been developed in the last decades to investigate the geographical origins of atmospheric pollution, based either on wind data or on backtrajectory analyses. To date, only few software packages exist to make use of one or the other approach. We present here ZeFir, an Igor-based package specifically designed to achieve a comprehensive geographical origin analysis using a single statistical tool. ZeFir puts the emphasis on a user-friendly experience in order to facilitate and speed up working time. Key parameters can be easily controlled, and unique innovative features bring geographical origins work to another level.
