Journal ArticleDOI
A review of chemical and physical characterisation of atmospheric metallic nanoparticles
TL;DR: A review of the existing knowledge of metallic nanoparticles in the atmosphere and discuss future research priorities in the field can be found in this article, where the authors discuss the chemical and physical composition of particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxic metals in street and household dusts.
TL;DR: Street and household dusts have been sampled within the Lancaster area and analysed for Pb, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Ni and Zn, and the results are discussed in relation to the sources of the metals, and possible health hazards to children exposed to the dusts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observations of new particle formation in urban air
TL;DR: In this article, measurements were made with a condensation particle counter and an ultrafine particle counter (TSI Model 3022A) operated in tandem, indicating a large number of particles in the 3-7 nm diameter range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concentrations of particulate airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and metals collected in Lahore, Pakistan
D.J.T. Smith,Roy M. Harrison,L. Luhana,Casimiro Pio,Luís M. Castro,Mohammad Tariq,S. Hayat,Tauseef Ahmad Quraishi +7 more
TL;DR: A comparison of Lahore yearly mean pollutant concentrations with those obtained in Birmingham, U.K., shows that airborne metal levels in the Pakistani city are greater by at least one order of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the air pollution climate at a central urban background site
Alessandro Bigi,Roy M. Harrison +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analysed the long-term trends of air pollution from a background site in central London and found that ozone has an annual cycle with a maximum in May, influenced by the spring maximum in background ozone, but the diurnal and weekly cycles are dominated by losses through reaction with nitrogen oxide.
