TL;DR: The AIRUSE-LIFE+ project aims at characterizing similarities and heterogeneities in particulate matter (PM) sources and contributions in urban areas from southern Europe as mentioned in this paper, where the main PMx sources are identified and tested the efficiency of specific and non-specific measures to improve urban air quality.

TL;DR: Results obtained for the urban area of Genoa (Italy) based on several hundred of PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 daily samples collected in sites with different geo-morphological and urbanization characteristics are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of fireworks on airborne particles

TL;DR: In this article, results of a study on chemical-physical properties of airborne particles (elements, ions, organic and elemental carbon and particles size distributions) collected during a fireworks episode in Milan (Italy) are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives (nitro-PAHs, oxygenated PAHs, and azaarenes) in PM 2.5 from Southern European cities
Célia Alves,Ana Vicente,Danilo Custódio,Mário Cerqueira,Teresa Nunes,Casimiro Pio,Franco Lucarelli,Giulia Calzolai,Silvia Nava,Evangelia Diapouli,Konstantinos Eleftheriadis,Xavier Querol,Benjamin A. Musa Bandowe +12 more
TL;DR: Molecular diagnostic ratios suggested that, after traffic, biomass burning was the dominant emission source, and the marked differences between winter and summer may indicate that these diagnostic ratios are particularly sensitive to photodegradation, and thus should be applied and interpreted cautiously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hourly elemental concentrations in PM2.5 aerosols sampled simultaneously at urban background and road site during SAPUSS -diurnal variations and PMF receptor modelling
Manuel Dall'Osto,Xavier Querol,Fulvio Amato,Angeliki Karanasiou,Franco Lucarelli,Silvia Nava,Giulia Calzolai,Massimo Chiari +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Hourly-resolved aerosol chemical speciation data can be used to determine the source origin of atmospheric pollutants in urban environments, where seventeen elements (Na, Mg, Al, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sr and Pb) were obtained by time (1 h) and size (PM2.5 particulate matter).
