The rapidly rising generation of municipal solid waste jeopardizes the environment and
contributes to climate heating. Based on the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways, we here …

This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of historical (1990–2010) global
anthropogenic particulate matter (PM) emissions including the consistent and harmonized …

Commodity plastic is ubiquitous in daily life and commonly disposed of via unregulated
burning, particularly in developing regions. We report here the much higher emission factors …

Waste leakage has become a major global concern owing to the negative impacts on
aquatic ecosystems and human health. We combine spatial analysis with the Shared …

Hourly-resolved aerosol chemical speciation data can be a highly powerful tool to determine
the source origin of atmospheric pollutants in urban environments. Aerosol mass …

At the Rocky Mountain Biogenic Aerosol Study (BEACHON-RoMBAS) field campaign in the
Colorado front range, July–August 2011, measurements of gas-and aerosol-phase organic …

Open burning of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a poorly-characterized and frequently-
underestimated source of air pollution in developing countries. This paper estimates the …

Open-burning of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a major source of PM emissions in
developing world cities, but few studies have characterized this phenomenon at the city and …

The open burning of municipal solid waste (MSW) is common in China. Therein, low–
temperature anoxic combustion results in the emission of hazardous air pollutants. This …

Municipal solid waste (MSW) contains considerable hazardous components and the widely-
distributed open MSW burning in heavily-populated urban areas can cause direct exposure …
