Urban air pollution represents one of the greatest environmental challenges facing mankind
in the 21st century. 1, 2 Noticeably, many developing countries, such as China and India …

Assessment of air quality has been traditionally conducted by ground based monitoring, and
more recently by manned aircrafts and satellites. However, performing fast, comprehensive …

Road traffic emissions are often considered the main source of ultrafine particles (UFP,
diameter smaller than 100 nm) in urban environments. However, recent studies worldwide …

In this study, the positive matrix factorization (PMF) receptor model (version 5.0) was used to
identify and quantify major sources contributing to particulate matter (PM) number …

ABSTRACTMobile platforms are increasingly used to acquire air quality data at a high
spatial and temporal resolution in complex urban environments. As such, mobile …

Background: Exposure to ambient air pollution particulate matter (PM) is associated with
increased risk of dementia and accelerated cognitive loss. Vascular contributions to …

Ultrafine particles (UFP) and black carbon (BC) concentrations show a highly dynamic micro-
variability in urban area. Mobile monitoring using a bicycle platform (354 runs in 1 month) …

The method allowed simultaneous characterization of PAHs, nitro-PAHs and quinones in
atmospheric particulate matter. This method employs a miniaturized micro-extraction step …

In the absence of routine monitoring of ultrafine particles (UFP, Dp< 100 nm), air pollution
epidemiology studies often use other co-emitted pollutants as a proxy for UFP, with NOx …

To quantify the fine-scale spatial variations and local source impacts of urban ultrafine
particle (UFP) concentrations, we conducted 3–6 weeks of continuous measurements of …
