Abstract - High smoke concentrations in Equatorial Asia, primarily from land conversion to oil palm plantations, affect a densely populated region and represent a serious but poorly quantified air...
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 - 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...
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...
Abstract – Introduction: As the largest developing country, China has some of the worst air quality in the world. Heavy smog in January 2013 led to unprecedented public concern about the...
The black carbon (BC) mass concentration and the particle chemical compositions were continually measured at Changdao Island, which is a regional receptor site off the eastern coast of China. This...
The spatial–temporal variation of biomass burning in June during the wheat harvest season in the North China (32–41°N, 111–120°E) and its influence on the regional...
Spectral dependence of aerosol single-scattering albedo (SSA) has been used to infer aerosol composition. In particular, aerosol mixtures dominated by dust absorption will have monotonically...
The study of the source areas of atmospheric pollutants in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) – one of the most remote regions in the world – has raised a great deal of concern. It is generally...
