Air quality impacts from wildfires have been dramatic in recent years, with millions of people
exposed to elevated and sometimes hazardous fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) …

Abstract Recently, PM 2.5 (atmospheric fine particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter≤
2.5 μm) have received so much attention that the observations, source appointment and …

Background The link between exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality from
cardiorespiratory diseases is well established, while evidence on neurodegenerative …

We compare the relative toxicity of various organic aerosol (OA) components identified by an
aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) based on their ability to generate reactive oxygen species …

Emissions of air pollutants from primary and secondary sources in China are considerably
higher than those in developed countries, and exposure to air pollution is main risk of public …

Brown carbon (BrC) has been recognized as an important contributor to global warming due
to its absorption of solar radiation with strong wavelength dependence. While early studies …

Wildfires are a significant source of organic aerosol during summer, with major impacts on
air quality and climate. However, studies in Europe suggest a surprisingly low (less than …

Secondary inorganic aerosols play an important role in air pollution and climate change,
and their formation modulates the atmospheric deposition of reactive nitrogen (including …

This study aims to determine PM 2.5 concentrations and their composition during haze and
non-haze episodes in Kuala Lumpur. In order to investigate the origin of the measured air …

The mass absorption efficiency (MAE) of light absorbing water-soluble organics,
representing a significant fraction of brown carbon (BrC), has been studied in fine mode …
