East African countries face an increasing threat from poor air quality stemming from rapid
urbanization, population growth, and a steep rise in fuel use and motorization rates. With few …

The evolution of fine aerosol (PM 1) species as well as the contribution of potential sources
to the total organic aerosol (OA) at an urban background site in Barcelona, in the western …

Atmospheric aerosols play a crucial role in the Earth's system, but their role is not completely
understood, partly because of the large variability in their properties resulting from a large …

The continuous synthesis in controlled gas flame reactors is here demonstrated as a very
effective approach for the direct and easy production of structurally reproducible carbon …

The similarity of in-situ and ex-situ absorption/extinction properties was found by comparing
data sets obtained in premixed flat ethylene flames (C/O= 0.77); both ex-situ absorption …

The aim of this study was to establish a method for predicting heavy metal concentrations in
PM 1 (aerosol particles with an aerodynamic diameter≤ 1.0 μm) based on back propagation …

Seasonal intensive measurements of atmospheric particulate matter with aerodynamic
diameters less than or equal to a nominal 1.0 μm (PM 1.0) and 2.5 μm (PM 2.5) were …

Particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 1 μm (PM 1.0) can be
extremely hazardous to human health, so it is imperative to accurately estimate the spatial …

This paper reports an aerosol sensor for PM 1 monitoring based on a virtual impactor (VI)
and a surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor. The VI is fabricated using three-dimensional …

Samples of PM1 were collected in the surroundings of coking plants located in southern
Poland. Chemical fractionation provided information on the contents of trace elements As …
