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 …

Airborne particulate matter (PM) that is a heterogeneous mixture of particles with a variety of
chemical components and physical features acts as a potential risk to human health. The …

This study analyzed the variability of equivalent black carbon (eBC) mass concentrations
and their sources in urban Europe to provide insights into the use of eBC as an advanced air …

Black carbon aerosol plays a unique and important role in Earth's climate system. Black
carbon is a type of carbonaceous material with a unique combination of physical properties …

We examined and compared PM 2.5 concentrations in urban and the surrounding regions,
and further investigated the impact of urbanization on urban PM 2.5 concentrations at the …

INTRODUCTION: The Aphekom project aimed to provide new, clear, and meaningful
information on the health effects of air pollution in Europe. Among others, it assessed the …

Aerosols are of central importance for atmospheric chemistry and physics, the biosphere,
climate, and public health. The airborne solid and liquid particles in the nanometer to …

This paper synthesizes data on aerosol (particulate matter, PM) physical and chemical
characteristics, which were obtained over the past decade in aerosol research and …

Atmospheric aerosol particles serve as condensation nuclei for the formation of both, cloud
droplets and atmospheric ice particles. As a result, they exert a substantial influence on the …

The ESCAPE study (European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects) investigates
relationships between long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution and health using cohort …
