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 article, a framework is presented for combining the information content of different equivalent diameter measurements into a single coherent mathematical description of the particles, which allows the placing of constraints on particle density, dynamic shape factor (x), and fraction of internal void space.

TL;DR: The literature on atmospheric particulate maffer (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500-2000 papers per year in the refereed literature.

TL;DR: In this paper, a single-particle soot photometer (SP2) was used on a NASA WB-57F high-altitude research aircraft in November 2004 from Houston, Texas.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method for estimating cooking organic aerosol in ambient datasets based on the fractions of organic mass fragments at m/z 55 and 57: their data points fall into a V-shape in a scatter plot, with strongly influenced HOA data aligned to right arm and strongly influenced COA data points aligned to the left arm.
