Atmospheric black carbon makes an important but poorly quantified contribution to the
warming of the global atmosphere. Laboratory and modelling studies have shown that the …

Environmental context Atmospheric aerosols have profound effects on the environment
through several physicochemical processes, such as absorption and scattering of sunlight …

Black carbon aerosols (BC) at a London urban site were characterised in both winter-and
summertime 2012 during the Clean Air for London (ClearfLo) project. Positive matrix …

Black carbon (BC) is known to have major impacts on both human health and climate. The
populated megacity represents the most complex anthropogenic BC emissions where the …

Aerosol emissions from prescribed fires can affect air quality on regional scales. Accurate
representation of these emissions in models requires information regarding the amount and …

Aerosol hygroscopicity and refractory black carbon (rBC) properties were characterised
during wintertime at a suburban site in Paris, one of the biggest European cities …

Air quality and heat are strong health drivers, and their accurate assessment and forecast
are important in densely populated urban areas. However, the sources and processes …

The replacement of the Desert Research Institute (DRI) model 2001 with model 2015
thermal/optical analyzers (TOAs) results in continuity of the long-term organic carbon (OC) …

Atmospheric submicron particulate matter (PM 1) is one of the most significant pollution
components in China. Despite its current popularity in the studies of aerosol chemistry, the …

In this study the characteristics, sources and water-solubility of submicron organic aerosol
(OA) were investigated in Helsinki, Finland. An Aerodyne high-resolution time-of-flight …
