The data set provided in this article consist of two repeated sets chemical elements concentrations snow samples. samples were collected Jelgava city at December 15th with 5 day exposition time. Snow 59 monitoring points and one sample rural area point as control. melted, acidified HNO3 analysed ICP-MS. Aluminium (Al), Silicon (Si), Chrome (Cr), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Arsenic (As), Molybdenum (Mo), Cadmium (Cd), Barium (Ba), Tungsten (W), Lead (Pb). are fundamental scientific value can be applied only for local analysis. Data is useful air quality research work evaluation not urban impact but future evaluate green infrastructure on pollution mitigation measures efficiency.
