Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of strategies for estimation of ultrafine particle number concentrations in urban air pollution monitoring networks
Matteo Reggente,Jan Peters,Jan Theunis,Martine Van Poppel,Michael Rademaker,Bernard De Baets,Prashant Kumar +6 more
TL;DR: UFP can be estimated with good accuracy based on NOx measurements at the same location; it is possible to estimate UFP at one location based on measurements of NOx or U FP at two remote locations; the addition of remote UFP to local NOx, O3 or CO measurements improves models' performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Clean Cooking Technologies Under Different Fuel Use Conditions in Rural Areas of Northern India
TL;DR: The results showed the performance of improved cookstove technologies can vary based on the fuel used for cooking, and forced draft cookstoves emitted higher amount of all pollutant emissions compared to natural draftcookstoves when used with mustard stalks in combination with either wood or cowdung.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure to particulate matter and gaseous pollutants during cab commuting in Nur-Sultan city of Kazakhstan
Mehdi Amouei Torkmahalleh,Philip K. Hopke,Parya Broomandi,Motahareh Naseri,Talgat Abdrakhmanov,Akzhol Ishanov,Jong Kim,Dhawal Shah,Prashant Kumar +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, exposure to particulate matter, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide inside a car during commuting were determined during the period October-November 2017 in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional-scale modelling for the assessment of atmospheric particulate matter concentrations at rural background locations in Europe
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the spatial and temporal variability of background particulate matter (PM) concentrations, to evaluate the regional air quality modelling performance in simulating PM concentrations during statically stable conditions and to investigate processes that contribute to regionally increased PM concentrations with a focus on eastern and central Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical Composition of Quasi-ultrafine Particles and their Sources in Elderly Residences of Sao Paulo Megacity
Bruna Segalin,Adalgiza Fornaro,Prashant Kumar,Otto Klemm,Maria de Fátima Andrade,Beatriz Maria Trezza,Alexandre Leopold Busse,Wilson Jacob Filho,Fábio Luiz Teixeira Gonçalves +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Personal Cascade Impactor Sampler (PCIS) was used to quantify the abundance of ions and trace elements in qUFP in elderly residences, to identify the sources of these ions and to estimate the respiratory deposition doses (RDD) of QUFP and black carbon (rBC) to various parts of the respiratory tract.
