TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the long-term temporal variation of PM2.5 and its secondary species contribution in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) for twenty years from 2000 to 2019.

TL;DR: Measurements of aerosol black carbon and aqueous and methanol-extractable brown carbon from a receptor location in the eastern Indo-Gangetic Plain under two aerosol regimes: the photochemistry-dominated summer and biomass burning post-monsoon and the BB regime are reported.

TL;DR: This study estimated SOC based on the MRS method with EC and CO as tracers, followed by the Monte Carlo method to analyze quantitatively the effects of measurement uncertainty, emission scenario and sample size on SOC estimates.

TL;DR: The results showed that the meteorological parameters including temperature and relative humidity have larger effect on aerosol pH variation than chemical species, which suggests that all the parameters including meteorological and chemical species should be comprehensively evaluated to devise a PM2.5 control strategy.

TL;DR: The nature of breathing was found to constrain EC inhalation significantly, with oronasal breathing associated with lower total deposition and nasal breathing leading to lower deposition in the tracheobronchial and pulmonary regions, strengthening the need to include EC as an additional air quality indicator.
