Abstract – Background: Few recent studies examined acute effects on health of individual chemical species in the particulate matter (PM) mixture, and most of them have been conducted in...
Field measurements were simultaneously conducted at a mountain (Mt.) site (Tai Mao Shan, TMS) and an urban site (Tsuen Wan, TW) at the foot of the Mt. TMS in Hong Kong. An interesting event with...
The chemical composition and size distribution characteristics of atmospheric aerosols have important effects on the environment, human health and climate change. In this paper, we study the size...
Abstract - Wet deposition is the dominant mechanism for removing black carbon (BC) from the atmosphere and is key in determining its atmospheric lifetime, vertical gradient and global transport....
In the commentary in NATURE CLIMATE CHANGE, the authors argue that SLCP mitigation could provide significant political opportunity to slow down global warming and generate multiple co-benefits....
Abstract - Particulate matter (PM) from different sources may differentially affect human health. Few studies have assessed the main sources of personal exposure to PM and their contributions...
Baghdad is the second largest city in the Middle East and suffers from severe air quality degradation due to the high levels of the atmospheric particulate matter (PM). Limited information exists...
Recently, short-term monitoring campaigns have been carried out to investigate the spatial variation of air pollutants within cities. Typically, such campaigns are based on short-term measurements...
A multiple linear regression approach was used to model the urban atmospheric particle number size distribution (NSD) at 11 different sites (roadside, urban background, rural) in Central European...
The determination of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) is very important due to its impact on climate, visibility reduction and natural environment. In order to...
