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 …

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 …

Black carbon (BC) and PM2. 5 chemical characterizations are crucial for insight into their
impact on the health of the exposed population. PM2. 5 sampling was carried out over …

Heze city, a medium-size city in Shandong province, Eastern China. Ambient PM 2.5
samples were collected in urban area of Heze from August 2015 to April 2016, and chemical …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Black carbon (BC), which is one of the highly absorbing capacities of solar radiation,
reduces albedo of atmospheric aerosol. BC along with fine particulate matters (PM2. 5) …

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