This paper presents a first photometric study of the aerosol charge in the northwest of Great Buenos Aires area, spe-cifically on the campus of the National University of General Sarmiento (UNGS) in Los Polvorines. For this purpose,one year of manual measurements with a solar photometer has been used and the aerosol optical depth (AOD) calcu-lations were corroborated with the Lambert-Beer law. The results of the AOD histogram at 465 nm and the Ångstrom coefficient vs AOD are related to the study area characteristics, with a clean atmosphere and aerosols categorized in the“clean continental” and “average” groups.
