Climate change and air pollution have been a matter of serious concern all over the world in
the last few decades. The present review has been carried out in this concern over the …

Particulate matter (PM) is both a major driver of climate change and a source of toxicity for
health. In the upper atmosphere, particulate matter modifies the earth radiation budget …

The present study attempts to explore and compare the seasonal variability in chemical
composition and contributions of different sources of fine and coarse fractions of aerosols …

Fine particulate matter (PM) in the ambient air is implicated in a variety of human health
issues throughout the globe. Regulation of fine PM in the atmosphere requires information …

From July 2009 through September 2010, PM10 and PM2. 5 were collected at two different
functional areas in Shanghai (Baoshan district, an industrial area, and Putuo district, a mixed …

Spatial variations in concentrations of a suite of potentially toxic metals (Ba, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn,
Ni, Pb and Zn) and Ca in road dusts (n= 99) from urban trunk roads (TR) in Nanjing, a mega …

Ambient PM 2.5 samples were collected at a high-traffic location (summer and winter 2013)
and characterized for a large suite of elemental and organic markers. Concentrations were …

India is used as a case study in reviewing the application of receptor models for source
apportionment. India has high concentrations of airborne particulate matter, and the …

Abstract Fine particulates (PM 2.5) constitute dominant proportion of airborne particulates
and have been often associated with human health disorders, changes in regional climate …

Airborne particulate chemistry mostly governed by associated sources and apportionment of
specific sources is extremely essential to delineate explicit control strategies. The present …
