Given the absence of a definitive threshold for atmospheric particulate matter (PM)-induced
adverse health effects and the evidence of road traffic as a main contributor to PM-urban …

High level of particulate matter pollution in the urban areas of major cities is significantly
affecting the human health due to its toxic chemical constituents. Re-suspension of road dust …

In this paper, we propose a real-time prediction model that can respond to particulate
matters (PM) in the air, which are an indication of poor air quality. The model applies …

Fugitive road dust (FRD) particles emitted by traffic-generated turbulence are an important
contributor to urban ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5). Especially in urban areas of …

Atmospheric trace elements, especially metal species, are an emerging environmental and
health concern with insufficient understanding of their levels and sources in Shanghai, the …

In order to carry out efficient traffic and air quality management, validated models and PM
emission estimates are needed. This paper compares current available emission factor …

Mineral matter is an important component of airborne particles in urban areas. In northern
cities of the world, mineral matter dominates PM10 during spring because of enhanced road …

A large fraction of urban PM10 concentrations is due to non-exhaust traffic emissions. In this
paper, a mobile measurement system has been used to quantify the relative importance of …

PM 10 concentrations exceed the guidelines in some Swedish cities and the limit values will
likely be further reduced in the future. In order to gain more knowledge of emission factors …

One of the most important parameters that controls the suspension of road dust particles in
the air is road surface moisture. This is calculated every hour from a budget equation that …
