Low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors are promising tools for supplementing existing air
quality monitoring networks. However, the performance of the new generation of low-cost …

The elemental concentrations of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) have a detrimental
effect on human health in which some elemental species have carcinogenic nature. In India …

Epidemiological and toxicological studies have shown the adverse effect of ambient
particulate matter (PM) on respiratory and cardiovascular systems inside the human body …

Lead (Pb) is a toxic metal whose global anthropogenic fluxes are an order of magnitude
higher than natural fluxes. Among all the environmental compartments, the atmosphere is …

In this study, we have monitored 1-h (afternoon) ambient concentrations of size-segregated
particles by means of 12 channels aerosol spectrometer (PALAS; welas® 2000) over 130 …

In this study, we employed Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Multi-Linear
Regression (MLR) to identify the most significant sources contributing to the toxicity of PM 10 …

Abstract The PM 2.5/PM 10 ratio (PM 2.5 and PM 10 are defined as mass concentration of
particles having aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 and 10 µm respectively) is one of the …

Air quality networks in cities can be costly and inconsistent and typically monitor a few
pollutants. Space-based instruments provide global coverage spanning more than a decade …

This study addresses the three major questions:(1) what are the emission sources of PM 1
which are affecting the study area;(2) where do these emission sources come from; and (3) …

Although air pollution is a global problem, the densely populated developing countries, for
instance, India, face severe air pollution. Rapid economic growth and poorly regulated …
