TL;DR: Both microplastic fibers and particles are discharged from the WWTP to the aquatic environment, according to this study, and the retention capacity of microplastics in the studied WWTP was found to be 98.3%.

TL;DR: The results from a 1-year measurement period concerning the diurnal PM2.5 and PM10 organic carbon (OC) and black carbon (BC) concentrations are presented for a traffic-influenced site in the Helsinki metropolitan area as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The chemical composition of fine and coarse particulate matter was investigated in 7-week field campaigns of contrasting air pollution at six urban background sites in Europe as discussed by the authors, which were scheduled to include seasons of local public health concern due to high particulate concentrations or findings in previously conducted epidemiological studies.

TL;DR: In this article, the state-of-the-art application of nanoparticles (NPs) in electrochemical analysis of environmental pollutants is reviewed, and several examples of applications in environmental electrochemical sensors and performance in terms of sensitivity and selectivity for both metal and metal-oxide NPs are described.

TL;DR: The long-range transported smoke emitted by biomass burning had a strong impact on the PM 2.5 mass concentrations in Helsinki over the 12 days period in April and May 2006 as mentioned in this paper.
