To better understand the potential environmental and human health impacts of fine airborne
particulate matter (APM), detailed physical and chemical characterisation is required. The …

The seasonal changes in ambient mass concentrations and chemical composition of fine
particulate matter (PM 2.5) were investigated in three locations in Poland. The analyses …

The size distributions of atmospheric aerosol mass and several major and trace elements
were studied in an urban area in South Poland. 24 h ambient aerosol samples were …

Particle-bound pollutants are a critical risk factor for human respiratory/cardiovascular
conditions. A comprehensive analysis of the physicochemical characteristics of PM is often …

Forty-nine components of ambient particulate matter (PM) in size-fractionated PM were
investigated at an urban background site in Katowice (Silesian Agglomeration in Southern …

Urban aerosol particles in the fine fraction (PM2. 5) were collected over the sampling interval
of 24-hrs on quartz filters in Ostrava (Czech Republic) in winter 2012. The collected aerosols …

Ambient particulate matter (PM) was sampled in Zabrze (southern Poland) in the heating
period of 2009. It was investigated for distribution of its mass and of the masses of its 18 …

In this study, a large sample set (276) was separated into up to 15 groups, including coal, fly
ash, total particulate matter, coal wastes, river sediments, and different water types …

Thirteen fractions of ambient dust were investigated in Zabrze, a typical urban area in the
central part of Upper Silesia (Poland), during a heating season. Fifteen PAH and Cr, Mn, Co …

Surface chemical composition of particles has a key role in determining the reactivity and
optical properties of atmospheric aerosol. This composition depend on the particles sources …
