TL;DR: In this article, the results obtained at a background site in the Po Valley, Italy, in summer 2009 were used in a field campaign with six state-of-the-art spectrometric techniques in parallel: aerosol time-offlight mass spectrometer (ATOFMS), two aerosol mass analysers (HR-ToF-AMS and SP-AMS), thermal desorption aerosol gas chromatography (TAG), chemical ionisation mass spectrametry (CIMS), and (offline) proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR
Journal ArticleDOI
Inferences over the sources and processes affecting polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the atmosphere derived from measured data.
TL;DR: PAH congener profiles measured at urban and rural locations were remarkably similar suggesting that atmospheric decay processes are relatively slow, and this allows the use of such profiles to elucidate sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study of the ionic composition of rainwater and atmospheric aerosols: implications for the mechanism of acidification of rainwater
Roy M. Harrison,Casimiro Pio +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical composition of rainwater and suspended particles collected in parallel at a rural site in North-West England has been investigated and it was concluded that the major contribution to rainwater acidity at this site is due to sulphuric acid incorporated at cloud level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Key pollutants—airborne particles
TL;DR: Between 1970 and 1999, a substantial reduction in emissions of particulate matter was achieved mainly through a cut in emissions from commercial, residential, and institutional combustion.
