The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

We review the major features of desert dust outbreaks that are relevant to the assessment of
dust impacts upon human health. Our ultimate goal is to provide scientific guidance for the …

Nowadays, there is no direct evidence about the presence of microplastics (MPs) in the
atmosphere above ground level. Here, we investigated the occurrence, chemical …

Microplastics (MPs) pollution is one of the most important problems of the Earth. They have
been found in all the natural environments, including oceans and the atmosphere. In this …

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 …

Real-time air quality forecasting (RT-AQF), a new discipline of the atmospheric sciences,
represents one of the most far-reaching development and practical applications of science …

This paper presents a review of bulk compositional data of northern African dust and its
potential source sediments and includes elemental, isotope and mineralogical data …

Dust storms and sandy dust events originating in arid and semi-arid areas can transport
particulate material, pollutants, and potential transport long distances from their sources …

Data on mass-levels of PM10 measured at regional background sites across the
Mediterranean Basin, available from Airbase (European Environmental Agency) and from a …

The adverse consequences of particulate matter (PM) on human health have been well
documented. Recently, special attention has been given to mineral dust particles, which may …
