Source apportionments have become increasingly performed to determine the origins of
ambient particulate pollution. The results can be helpful in designing mitigation strategies to …

Particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere has adverse effects on human health,
ecosystems, and visibility. It also plays an important role in meteorology and climate change …

Introduction Studies of source apportionment (SA) for particulate matter (PM) air pollution
have enhanced understanding of dominant pollution sources and quantification of their …

There is a general consensus in the scientific community that fine particulate matter (PM2. 5)
composition plays a significant role in the health effects attributed to PM; indeed …

Mobile sources are significant contributors to ambient particulate matter (PM) in the United
States. As the emphasis shifts from PM 10 to PM 2.5, it becomes particularly important to …

For reducing health impacts from air pollution, it is important to know the sources
contributing to human exposure. This study systematically reviewed and analysed available …

A chemical characterization was carried out for PM2. 5 and PM2. 5–10 samples collected in
a suburban area and the concentrations of 12 elements were determined in 8 size …

Although the association between exposure to ambient fine particulate matter with
aerodynamic diameter< 2.5 μm (PM2. 5) and human mortality is well established, the most …

Source apportionment is typically performed on chemical composition data derived from
particulate matter (PM) samples. However, many common sources no longer emit significant …

Using daily fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) composition data from the 2000–2005 US EPA
Chemical Speciation Network (CSN) for over 200 sites, we applied multivariate methods to …
