Journal ArticleDOI
Source apportionment of PM2.5 organic aerosol over Europe: Primary/secondary, natural/anthropogenic, and fossil/biogenic origin
András Gelencsér,Barbara May,David Simpson,David Simpson,Asunción Sánchez-Ochoa,Anne Kasper-Giebl,Hans Puxbaum,Alexandre Caseiro,Casimiro Pio,Michel Legrand +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, seasonal source apportionment of PM2.5 aerosol is attempted for five rural/remote sites in Europe using radiocarbon measurements with bulk measurements of organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), and two organic tracers (levoglucosan and cellulose).
Journal ArticleDOI
Levoglucosan levels at background sites in Europe for assessing the impact of biomass combustion on the European aerosol background
Hans Puxbaum,Alexandre Caseiro,Alexandre Caseiro,Asunción Sánchez-Ochoa,Anne Kasper-Giebl,Magda Claeys,András Gelencsér,Michel Legrand,Susanne Preunkert,Casimiro Pio +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined the atmospheric levoglucosan as a proxy for biomass smoke in samples from six background stations on a west-east transect extending from the Atlantic (Azores) to the mid-European background site KPZ (K-Puszta, Hungary).
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical characterisation of fine particle emissions from wood stove combustion of common woods growing in mid-European Alpine regions
Christoph Schmidl,Iain L. Marr,Iain L. Marr,Alexandre Caseiro,Alexandre Caseiro,Petra Kotianová,Axel Berner,Heidi Bauer,Anne Kasper-Giebl,Hans Puxbaum +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, woodsmoke samples derived from the combustion of beech, oak, spruce, larch and softwood briquettes in a closed stove have been collected and analyzed so as to derive chemical profiles for ambient particulate matter (PM) source apportionment studies, for example, by CMB modelling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Source attribution of submicron organic aerosols during wintertime inversions by advanced factor analysis of aerosol mass spectra.
V. A. Lanz,M. Rami Alfarra,Urs Baltensperger,Brigitte Buchmann,Christoph Hueglin,Sönke Szidat,Miriam N. Wehrli,Lukas Wacker,Silke Weimer,Alexandre Caseiro,Hans Puxbaum,André S. H. Prévôt +11 more
TL;DR: Real-time measurements of submicrometer organic aerosol were performed using an Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) during three weeks at an urban background site in Zurich (Switzerland) in January 2006 and OOA estimates were strongly correlated with measured particulate ammonium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climatology of aerosol composition (organic versus inorganic) at nonurban sites on a west-east transect across Europe
Casimiro Pio,Michel Legrand,Tiago S. Oliveira,Joana Afonso,Cristina P. Santos,Alexandre Caseiro,Alexandre Caseiro,Paulo Fialho,Filipe Barata,Hans Puxbaum,Asunción Sánchez-Ochoa,Anne Kasper-Giebl,András Gelencsér,Suzanne Preunkert,M. Schock +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed 210 Pb, inorganic ions, elemental (EC) and organic (OC) carbon, water soluble organic carbon (WSOC), macromolecular type (humic-like) organic substances (HULIS), C2-C5 diacids, cellulose, and levoglucosan.
