TL;DR: After two weeks of lockdown, urban air pollution markedly decreased but with substantial differences among pollutants, and there are still open questions on why PM10 levels were much less reduced than BC and NO2 and on what is the proportion of the abatement of pollution directly related to the lockdown, without meteorological interferences.

TL;DR: The vertical profile of new particle formation (NPF) events was studied by comparing the aerosol size number distributions measured aloft and at surface level in a suburban environment in Madrid, Spain, using airborne instruments as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the potential benefits of implementing local-BMA short-term measures to abate emissions of O3 precursors in the Vic Plain of the Barcelona metropolitan area.

TL;DR: In this paper, C. C. Carnerero et al. used tethered balloons for air quality monitoring in the XVPC air quality network and provided data for O 3, NOx and SO 2.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed long-term datasets of ambient air concentrations of gaseous pollutants, black carbon (BC) and particle size distributions at an urban background air quality station (Barcelona, Spain, 2013-2019) and a regional background station (Montseny, Spain; 2014-2019).
