Abstract Comparison of fine and coarse fractions in terms of sources and dynamics is scarce
in southeast Mediterranean countries; differences are relevant because of the importance of …

Physicochemical properties of aerosol were investigated by analyzing the inorganic water
soluble content in PM 2.5 samples collected in the eastern part of the Po Valley (Italy). In this …

Atmospheric aerosols have potential effects on human health, on the radiation balance, on
climate, and on visibility. The understanding of these effects requires detailed knowledge of …

Aerosol samples (as PM 10, n= 250) were collected from three rural/remote receptor
locations in the mid Brahmaputra plain region and were chemically characterized for metals …

In order to investigate the regional variations of water-soluble ions (WSIs), size-resolved
measurement of aerosol particles and WSIs was conducted by using Anderson Sampler and …

The present paper reports the first size-resolved element measurements in the PM 2.5
fraction collected throughout 2016 in the Iasi urban area in north-eastern Romania …

Receptor models (RMs), based on chemical composition of particulate matter (PM), such as
Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) and Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF), represent useful …

The application of salts and salty brines to roads is common practice during the winter in
many urban environments. Road salts can become aerosolized, thereby injecting sodium …

Road dust is a non-exhaust source of atmospheric particulate by re-suspension. It is
composed of particles originating from natural sources as well as other non-exhaust source …

Air pollution is among the greatest risk factors for human health, but it also poses risks to the
food security, the economy and the environment. The majority of the pollutants emitted by …
