Anthropogenic emissions and land use changes have modified atmospheric aerosol
concentrations and size distributions over time. Understanding preindustrial conditions and …

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 …

Since the publication of the compilation of biomass burning emission factors by Andreae
and Merlet (2001), a large number of studies have greatly expanded the amount of available …

Fine particulate matters less than 2.5 µm (PM2. 5) in the ambient atmosphere are strongly
associated with adverse health effects. However, it is unlikely that all fine particles are …

This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of historical (1990–2010) global
anthropogenic particulate matter (PM) emissions including the consistent and harmonized …

Urban air pollution represents one of the greatest environmental challenges facing mankind
in the 21st century. 1, 2 Noticeably, many develo** countries, such as China and India …

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 …

Efforts have been made to relate measured concentrations of airborne constituents to their
origins for more than 50 years. During this time interval, there have been developments in …

Elemental compositions of organic aerosol (OA) particles provide useful constraints on OA
sources, chemical evolution, and effects. The Aerodyne high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol …

Aerosols from biomass burning (BB) emissions are poorly constrained in global and
regional models, resulting in a high level of uncertainty in understanding their impacts. In …
