As exhaust emissions of particles and volatile organic compounds (VOC) from road vehicles
have progressively come under greater control, non-exhaust emissions have become an …

Residential biomass burning has been pointed out as one of the largest sources of fine
particles in the global troposphere with serious impacts on air quality, climate and human …

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 …

The purpose of this study was to assess the impact to human health of air pollutants, through
the integration of different technics: data statistics (spatial and temporal trends), population …

In the last decades, emissions from road traffic saw a significant drop due to the stricter
regulations for the motor vehicles' exhaust and cleaner technologies for fleets. Therefore …

A review was conducted of the published literature on source apportionment of ambient
particulate matter (PM) in Europe using receptor models (RMs). Consistent records were …

This paper synthesizes data on aerosol (particulate matter, PM) physical and chemical
characteristics, which were obtained over the past decade in aerosol research and …

Air quality transcends all scales with in the atmosphere from the local to the global with
handovers and feedbacks at each scale interaction. Air quality has manifold effects on …

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is one of the major risks for global health. The exact
mechanisms of toxicity are still not completely understood leading to contrasting results …

Proximity to road traffic involves higher health risks because of atmospheric pollutants. In
addition to outdoor air, indoor air quality contributes to overall exposure. In the framework of …
