Chemical and phase composition of particles produced by laser ablation of silicate glass and zircon—implications for elemental fractionation during ICP-MS analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical and phase compositions of particles produced by laser ablation (266 nm Nd:YAG) of silicate NIST glasses and zircon were studied by SIMS and HR-TEM techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elemental and organic carbon in atmospheric aerosols at downtown and suburban sites in Prague
TL;DR: In this paper, organic and elemental carbon (OC and EC) content in PM10 was studied at two sites in Prague, which were located in a suburb and in the downtown.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the performance and the uncertainty of receptor models (RMs) in intercomparison exercises employing real-world and synthetic input datasets and concluded that RMs are capable of estimating the contribution of the major pollution source categories over a given time window with a level of accuracy that is in line with the needs of air quality management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Source apportionment of size resolved particulate matter at a European air pollution hot spot
TL;DR: Positive Matrix Factorization-PMF was applied to hourly resolved elemental composition of fine and coarse aerosol particles to apportion their sources in the airshed of residential district, Ostrava-Radvanice and Bartovice in winter 2012, finding no statistical significant differences amongst the monitors.

TL;DR: The results indicate that water solubility could function as a limiting factor for bioaccessibility of inhaled particulate NPAHs and OPAhs, without considerable effect of surfactant lipids and proteins in the lung lining fluid.
