The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

Abstract Recently, PM 2.5 (atmospheric fine particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter≤
2.5 μm) have received so much attention that the observations, source appointment and …

Short‑lived climate forcers (SLCFs) affect climate and are, in most cases, also air pollutants.
They include aerosols (sulphate, nitrate, ammonium, carbonaceous aerosols, mineral dust …

Biomass burning (BB) including forest, bush, prescribed fires, agricultural fires, residential
wood combustion, and power generation has long been known to affect climate, air quality …

Within the framework of air quality studies at the megacity scale, highly time-resolved volatile
organic compound (C 2–C 8) measurements were performed in downtown Paris (urban …

High concentrations of fine particles (PM 2.5) are frequently observed during all seasons in
Beijing, China, leading to severe air pollution and human health problems in this megacity …

Delhi is one of the most polluted cities worldwide and a comprehensive understanding and
deeper insight into the air pollution and its sources is of high importance. We report 5 …

Air pollution, in particular high concentrations of particulate matter smaller than 1 µ m in
diameter (PM 1), continues to be a major health problem, and meteorology is known to …

Organic aerosol (OA) represents a large fraction of submicron aerosols in the megacity of
Beijing, yet long-term characterization of its sources and variations is very limited. Here we …

Gaining knowledge on the process of particle resuspension from urban paved roads is of
particular importance considering the increasing relevance of this source in urban air quality …
