Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is known to account for a major fraction of airborne
particulate matter, with significant impacts on air quality and climate at the global scale …

Exposures to fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) and ozone (O3)≥ US EPA standards are
associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. The projection of 13.8 million AD cases in the …

The main objective of this study was chemical characterization and source apportionment of
the oxidative potential of ambient PM 2.5 samples collected in an urban background area in …

The present study investigates the characteristics of carbonaceous species like organic
carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) in ambient total suspended particulates (TSP) at …

Abstract Most Latin American cities have air quality problems owing to high levels of
particulate matter and ozone. By 2050, it is expected that more than 80% of Latin Americans …

In recent years, black carbon (BC) has been gaining more attention due to the diversity of
anthropogenic sources and the harmful effects on human health, environment, and climate …

According to the current understanding, the adverse health effects of particulate matter (PM)
are produced by oxidative stress processes. Hence, the oxidative potential (OP) can be used …

Urban ambient aerosols in the size range below 10 μm were measured and sampled for
further evaluation (by Raman and Thermal-Optical analysis) of the collected material. The …

The chemical composition of submicron particles (aerodynamic diameter Da< 1.0 μm) was
investigated at three locations in the Santiago Metropolitan Region (SMR), Chile …

The present study reports on carbonaceous aerosol concentrations determined in total
suspended particles (TSP) from three mountainous sites Devasthal (2450 m asl), Manora …
