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 …

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is one of the pollutant that may have a significant impact
on human health. Data collected during three years in an urban area of the Adriatic coast …

This paper reviews recent work on the role of Saharan dust in environmental change, the
location and strength of source areas, the transport paths of material away from the desert …

Dust storms, produced by the removal of surface materials from the world's drylands, are a
vital component of the environment. This is because of their role in biogeochemical cycling …

The occurrence of African dust outbreaks over the whole Mediterranean Basin has been
studied on an 11-yr period (2001–2011). In order to evaluate the impact of such mineral dust …

Atmospheric PM pollution from traffic comprises not only direct emissions but also non-
exhaust emissions because resuspension of road dust that can produce high human …

Levels of total suspended particles, PM10, PM2. 5 and PM1 were continuously monitored at
an urban kerbside in the Metropolitan area of Barcelona from June 1999 to June 2000. The …

Recent research interest has been focused on road dust resuspension as one of the major
sources of atmospheric particulate matter in an urban environment. Given the dearth of …

In many large cities of Europe standard air quality limit values of particulate matter (PM) are
exceeded. Emissions from road traffic and biomass burning are frequently reported to be the …
