TL;DR: The results suggest that, in addition to mitigating primary particulate emissions, reducing the emissions of secondary aerosol precursors from fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning is likely to be important for controlling China’s PM2.5 levels and for reducing the environmental, economic and health impacts resulting from particulate pollution.

TL;DR: In this paper, a positive matrix factorization procedure was developed to apportion the sources of organic aerosols based on their mass spectra using the multilinear engine (ME-2) controlled via the source finder (SoFi).

TL;DR: In this paper, extremely high concentrations (i.e., 4-20 times higher than the World Health Organization guideline) of PM2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter) were reported during winter 2013.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the results from factor analysis source apportionment by positive matrix factorization (PMF) utilising the multilinear engine 2 (ME-2).

TL;DR: In this paper, the water-soluble organic fingerprint of ambient particles collected onto conventional quartz filters, which are routinely sampled at many air quality sites, was applied to 256 particulate matter (PM) filter samples (PM1, PM2, and PM10) collected at 16 urban and rural sites during summer and winter.
