Biomass burning (BB) is a significant air pollution source, with global, regional and local
impacts on air quality, public health and climate. Worldwide an extensive range of studies …

As the key for haze control, atmospheric fine particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter<
2.5 μm (or PM 2.5) is of great concern lately in China. It is closely linked to fast pace of …

This study presents one of the first long term datasets including a statistical summary of PM2.
5 concentrations obtained from one-year monitoring in 190 cities in China. We found only 25 …

Black carbon aerosol plays a unique and important role in Earth's climate system. Black
carbon is a type of carbonaceous material with a unique combination of physical properties …

The frequent occurrence of extreme haze episodes in China in recent years has triggered
the Chinese government to take action to tackle the serious air quality problems. Fine …

In this study, 121 daily PM 2.5 (aerosol particle with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm)
samples were collected from an urban site in Bei**g in four months between April 2009 and …

Air pollution in the form of fine particulate matter, or PM 2.5, can decrease human life
expectancy and increase the overall mortality rate. Based on a time series of remotely …

Background: Although ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5; particulate matter≤ 2.5 µm in
aerodynamic diameter) has been linked to adverse human health effects, the chemical …

In order to study the temporal and spatial variations of PM 2.5 and its chemical compositions
in the region of Bei**g, Tian**, and Hebei (BTH), PM 2.5 samples were collected at four …

Daily PM 2.5 (aerosol particles with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5 μm) samples
were collected at an urban site in Chengdu, an inland megacity in southwest China, during …
