Efforts have been made to relate measured concentrations of airborne constituents to their
origins for more than 50 years. During this time interval, there have been developments in …

Major components of suspended particulate matter (PM) are inorganic ions, organic matter
(OM), elemental carbon (EC), geological minerals, salt, non-mineral elements, and water …

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 …

Industry in ancient mining areas caused significant heavy metal pollution (HMP) in
agricultural soils. This study measured the hazards of specific sources of heavy metals …

The AIRUSE-LIFE+ project aims at characterizing similarities and heterogeneities in
particulate matter (PM) sources and contributions in urban areas from southern Europe …

Emissions from gasoline and diesel vehicles are predominant anthropogenic sources of
reactive gas-phase organic carbon and key precursors to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) …

Abstract The 1999 Regional Haze Rule provides a context for this review of visibility, the
science that describes it, and the use of that science in regulatory guidance. The scientific …

A chemical mass balance receptor model based on organic compounds has been
developed that relates sours; contributions to airborne fine particle mass concentrations …

Despite their importance, current scientific knowledge on non-exhaust emissions by road
traffic is scarce, severely hampering a reliable description of these particles in atmospheric …

Atmospheric PM pollution from traffic comprises not only direct emissions but also non-
exhaust emissions because resuspension of road dust that can produce high human …
