Residential biomass burning has been pointed out as one of the largest sources of fine
particles in the global troposphere with serious impacts on air quality, climate and human …

A review was conducted of the published literature on source apportionment of ambient
particulate matter (PM) in Europe using receptor models (RMs). Consistent records were …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) accounts for a significant fraction of ambient tropospheric
aerosol and a detailed knowledge of the formation, properties and transformation of SOA is …

The simultaneous observation and analysis of atmospheric fine particles (PM 2.5) on a
regional scale is an important approach to develop control strategies for haze pollution. In …

The “Campaign on Atmospheric Aerosol Research” network of China (CARE-China) is a
long-term project for the study of the spatio-temporal distributions of physical aerosol …

Experiments were carried out in a smog chamber to investigate the oxidation of
levoglucosan in biomass burning particles exposed to gas‐phase hydroxyl radicals (OH) …

Can mitigating only particle mass, as the existing air quality measures do, ultimately lead to
reduction in ultrafine particles (UFP)? The aim of this study was to provide a broader urban …

Black carbon is emitted from the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous fuels and will
detrimentally affect air quality, climate and human health. In this study, equivalent black …

Smog chamber experiments were conducted to investigate the chemical and physical
transformations of organic aerosol (OA) during photo-oxidation of open biomass burning …

Emissions from biomass burning contribute significantly to water-soluble organic carbon
(WSOC) and light-absorbing organic carbon (brown carbon). Ambient atmospheric samples …
