Source apportionments have become increasingly performed to determine the origins of
ambient particulate pollution. The results can be helpful in designing mitigation strategies to …

Biomass burning is considered an important source of indoor and outdoor air pollutants
worldwide. Due to competitive costs and climate change sustainability compared to fossil …

This work presents the results of a PM2. 5 source apportionment study conducted in urban
background sites from 16 European and Asian countries. For some Eastern Europe and …

Delhi, the capital of India, suffers from heavy local emissions as well as regional transport of
air pollutants, resulting in severe aerosol loadings. To determine the sources of these …

There is a body of evidence that ultrafine particles (UFP, those with diameters≤ 100 nm)
might have significant impacts on health. Accordingly, identifying sources of UFP is essential …

In this study, global reanalysis dataset fields of meteorological parameters (temperature and
geopotential height at different atmospheric levels) in the period 1948–2020, were used to …

Long-term monitoring at sites with relatively low particulate pollution could provide an
opportunity to identify changes in pollutant concentration and potential effects of current air …

Urban textures of the Italian cities are peculiarly shaped by the local geography generating
similarities among cities placed in different regions but comparable topographical districts …

Abstract The East Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) region is a global climate hotspot
that suffers from a lack of robust environmental data. This region, especially the Middle East …

A circulation classification technique based on daily sea level pressure fields was applied to
classify homogeneous synoptic types in the period 2001–2019 for the Iberian Peninsula (IP) …
