TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of the EPA Federal Reference method for monitoring the ambient concentrations of NO2 was evaluated using data from a recent field campaign in Mexico City, where data from standard chemiluminescence monitors equipped with molybdenum oxide converters were compared with those from Tunable Infrared Laser Differ- ential Absorption Spectroscopy (TILDAS) and differential optical absorption spectrograph (DOAS) instruments.

TL;DR: An Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) was deployed at the CENICA Supersite, during the Mexico City metropolitan area field study (MCMA-2003) from 31 March-4 May 2003 to investigate particle concentrations, sources, and processes as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA-2003) air quality field measurement campaign as mentioned in this paper revealed important new insights into the meteorology, primary pollutant emissions, ambient secondary pollutant precursor concentrations, photochemical oxidant production and secondary aerosol particle formation in North America's most populated and polluted megacity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the initial emissions of 12 gases and the aerosol speciation for elemental and organic carbon (EC, OC), anhydrosugars, Cl−, NO3−, and 20 metals from 10 cooking fires, four garbage fires, three brick making kilns, three charcoal making, and two crop residue fires.

TL;DR: The results of the MILAGRO campaign as discussed by the authors showed that PM 2.5 and PM 1 concentrations showed a marked impact of road traffic emissions (at rush hours), with levels of coarse PM remaining elevated during daytime.
