TL;DR: In this article, a real-time loading effect compensation algorithm based on a two parallel spot measurement of optical absorption is proposed for the Aethalometer model AE33, which provides the high-quality data necessary for realtime source apportionment and for determination of the temporal variation of the compensation parameter k.

TL;DR: In this article, the Aethalometer model was used to estimate the source-specific absorption Angstrom exponent (α) of EBC emissions from both traffic and wood burning.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new mobile environmental reaction chamber for the simulation of the atmospheric aging of different emission sources without limitation from the instruments or facilities available at any single site, and demonstrate the utility of this new system by presenting results on the aging (OH = 12 × 106 cm−3 h) of emissions from a modern (Euro 5) gasoline car operated during a driving cycle (New European Driving Cycle, NEDC).

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative contribution of eight nitrated aromatic compounds (NACs: nitrophenols and nitrated salicylic acids) to the light absorption of aqueous particle extracts and particulate brown carbon were determined from aerosol particle samples collected in Germany and China.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the results of a black carbon monitoring campaign carried out in Milan, Italy, with the aim to detect -and demonstrate more suitably than PM mass - differences in local urban air quality among three zones located very closely with different traffic intensity.
