This paper reviews the literature on crop residue burning-a widespread practice in many
regions in South Asia. Specifically, we examine evidence from studies highlighting the scale …

Nitrogen is one of the essential plant nutrients and a major factor limiting crop productivity.
To meet the requirements of sustainable agriculture, there is a need to maximize biological …

Excess atmospheric ammonia (NH 3) leads to deleterious effects on biodiversity,
ecosystems, air quality and health, and it is therefore essential to monitor its budget and …

Excessive ammonia (NH3) emitted from nitrogen (N) fertilizer applications in global
croplands plays an important role in atmospheric aerosol production, resulting in visibility …

Tropical cities are experiencing rapid growth but lack routine air pollution monitoring to
develop prescient air quality policies. Here, we conduct targeted sampling of recent (2000s …

Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is a leading risk factor for the global
burden of disease. However, uncertainty remains about PM2. 5 sources. We use a global …

The chemical composition of PM 2.5 was monitored simultaneously at two sites, one in a
general area of the city center and one at a roadside, in Hanoi, Vietnam, during August 2019 …

The rise of ammonia emissions in Asia is predicted to increase radiative cooling and air
pollution by forming ammonium nitrate particles in the lower troposphere. There is, however …

Atmospheric ammonia (NH 3) is an alkaline gas and a prominent constituent of the nitrogen
cycle that adversely affects ecosystems at higher concentrations. It is a pollutant, which …

Overuse of nitrogen (N) fertilizer, a crucial productivity factor in world cropping systems, is
detrimental to the sustainability of crop production from an economic and environmental …
