Abstract - Anthropogenic aerosols have significant impacts on the environment and human health in the Yangtze River Delta region, one of the most densely populated regions in the world. A biomass-...
Abstract - Globally, much weight is currently being placed on agriculture to provide food for the growing population as well as feedstock for the bioenergy industry. Unfortunately, the...
Black carbon (BC) particles emitted from incomplete combustion of fossil fuel and biomass and deposited on snow and ice darken the surface and reduce the surface albedo. Even small initial surface...
Abstract - Yak dung is widely used for cooking and heating in Tibet. We measured real-time concentrations of black carbon (BC) and fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or...
Ambient particulate matter (PM) exposures have adverse impacts on public health, but research evaluating indoor PM concentrations in rural homes in the United States using wood as fuel for heating...
Abstract - Black carbon containing emissions from biomass combustion are being transformed in the atmosphere upon processing induced by tropospheric ozone and UV. The knowledge today is very...
In this study, for the first time, the influence of springtime (MAM) biomass burning in South Asia on regional ozone (O3) distribution has been evaluated using a regional chemical transport model...
High resolution concentrations of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and Ozone (O3) were measured at a urban site (urban...
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) samples were collected over two years in Xi’an, China to investigate the relationships between the aerosol composition and the light absorption...
Haze pollution in Beijing is rather deteriorated. Long-term measurement of PM2.5 from 2005 to 2010 at an urban site in Beijing showed very high concentration level with an annual...
