Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced secondary organic aerosol formation due to water uptake by fine particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized the partitioning behavior of a significant fraction of the ambient organic aerosol through simultaneous measurements of gas and particle water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Source areas and chemical composition of fine particulate matter in the Pearl River Delta region of China

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured fine particulate matter (PM2.5) for four months during 2002-2003 at seven sites located in the rapidly developing Pearl River Delta region of China, an area encompassing the major cities of Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of carbon and mineral dust to seasonal aerosol properties in the Nepal Himalaya
Christian M. Carrico,Christian M. Carrico,Michael H. Bergin,Arun Bhakta Shrestha,Jack E. Dibb,Laurent Gomes,Joyce M. Harris +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, mass concentrations (PM10 and PM2.5), chemical composition, and wavelength dependent aerosol optical depth (δλ) were measured from December 1998 through October 2000 at sites on the edge of the Kathmandu valley (Nagarkot) and in the remote Himalaya (Langtang).
Journal ArticleDOI
Survey of the Potential Environmental and Health Impacts in the Immediate Aftermath of the Coal Ash Spill in Kingston, Tennessee
Laura S. Ruhl,Avner Vengosh,Gary S. Dwyer,Heileen Hsu-Kim,Amrika Deonarine,Michael H. Bergin,Julia Kravchenko +6 more
TL;DR: An investigation of the potential environmental and health impacts in the immediate aftermath of one of the largest coal ash spills in U.S. history at the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Kingston coal-burning power plant has revealed three major findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large Reductions in Solar Energy Production Due to Dust and Particulate Air Pollution
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of dust and anthropogenic sources (e.g., fossil and biomass fuel combustion) on solar electricity generation is estimated. But, the results show that solar energy production is currently reduced by ∼17-25% across these regions, with roughly equal contributions from ambient PM and PM deposited on photovoltaic surfaces.
