Source Characterization and Apportionment of PM10, PM2.5 and PM0.1 by Using
Balakrishnaiah Gugamsetty,Han Wei,Chun-Nan Liu,Amit Awasthi,Shih-Chieh Hsu,Chuen Jinn Tsai,Gwo-Dong Roam,Yue-Chuen Wu,Chung-Fang Chen +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used positive matrix factorization (PMF) to identify PM sources, including soil dust, vehicle emissions, sea salt, industrial emissions and secondary aerosols, and their contributions were estimated using PMF.

"Source Characterization and Apportionment of PM10, PM2.5 and PM0.1 by Using Positive Matrix Factorization"
Balakrishnaiah Gugamsetty,Han Wei,Chun-Nan Liu,Amit Awasthi,Shih-Chieh Hsu,Chuen Jinn Tsai,Gwo-Dong Roam,Yue-Chuen Wu,Chung-Fang Chen +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, positive matrix factorization (PMF) was used to identify PM sources based on the chemical information, and the results suggest a competitive relationship between anthropogenic and natural source processes over the monitoring station.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of size and mass distribution of particulate matter due to crop residue burning with seasonal variation in rural area of Punjab, India
TL;DR: Overall results show that the concentration levels of different size particulates matter are greatly affected by agricultural crop residue burning but the total distribution of the particulate matter remains almost constant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ambient air quality during wheat and rice crop stubble burning episodes in Patiala.
TL;DR: A ground level study was deliberated to analyze the contribution of wheat and rice crop stubble burning practices on concentration levels of aerosol, SO2 and NO2 in ambient air at five different sites in and around Patiala city covering agricultural, commercial and residential areas as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of agriculture crop residue burning on children and young on PFTs in North West India.
TL;DR: The study indicates that ACRB is a serious environmental health hazard and children are more sensitive to air pollution, as ACRB poses some unrecoverable influence on their PFTs.
