High secondary aerosol contribution to particulate pollution during haze events in China
Ru-Jin Huang,Yan-Lin Zhang,Carlo Bozzetti,Kin Fai Ho,Junji Cao,Yongming Han,Kaspar R. Daellenbach,Jay G. Slowik,Stephen Matthew Platt,Francesco Canonaco,Peter Zotter,Robert Wolf,Simone M. Pieber,Emily A. Bruns,Monica Crippa,Giancarlo Ciarelli,Andrea Piazzalunga,Margit Schwikowski,Gülcin Abbaszade,Jürgen Schnelle-Kreis,Ralf Zimmermann,Zhisheng An,Sönke Szidat,Urs Baltensperger,Imad El Haddad,André S. H. Prévôt +25 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that, in addition to mitigating primary particulate emissions, reducing the emissions of secondary aerosol precursors from fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning is likely to be important for controlling China’s PM2.5 levels and for reducing the environmental, economic and health impacts resulting from particulate pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drew R. Gentner,Shantanu H. Jathar,T. D. Gordon,T. D. Gordon,Roya Bahreini,Douglas A. Day,Douglas A. Day,Imad El Haddad,Patrick L. Hayes,Simone M. Pieber,Stephen Matthew Platt,Joost A. de Gouw,Joost A. de Gouw,Allen H. Goldstein,Robert A. Harley,Jose L. Jimenez,Jose L. Jimenez,André S. H. Prévôt,Allen L. Robinson +18 more
TL;DR: Evidence, research needs, and discrepancies between top-down and bottom-up approaches used to estimate SOA from motor vehicles are summarized, focusing on inconsistencies between molecular-level understanding and regional observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-stroke scooters are a dominant source of air pollution in many cities.
Stephen Matthew Platt,I. El Haddad,Simone M. Pieber,Ru-Jin Huang,A. A. Zardini,Michael Clairotte,Ricardo Suarez-Bertoa,Peter Barmet,L. Pfaffenberger,Robert Wolf,Jay G. Slowik,SJ Fuller,Markus Kalberer,R. Chirico,R. Chirico,Josef Dommen,Covadonga Astorga,Ralf Zimmermann,Nicolas Marchand,S. Hellebust,Brice Temime-Roussel,Urs Baltensperger,André S. H. Prévôt +22 more
TL;DR: It is shown that elevated particulate matter levels can be a consequence of 'asymmetric pollution' from two-stroke scooters, vehicles that constitute a small fraction of the fleet, but can dominate urban vehicular pollution through organic aerosol and aromatic emission factors up to thousands of times higher than from other vehicle classes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gasoline cars produce more carbonaceous particulate matter than modern filter-equipped diesel cars.

Prévôt +22 more
TL;DR: Whether gasoline or Diesel cars are more polluting depends on the pollutant in question, i.e. that diesel cars are not necessarily worse polluters than gasoline cars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics and potential of micro algal cultivation strategies: a review
Martin Koller,Anna Salerno,Philipp Tuffner,Michael Koinigg,Herbert Böchzelt,Sigurd Schober,Simone M. Pieber,Hans Schnitzer,Martin Mittelbach,Gerhart Braunegg +9 more
TL;DR: The article shows how high cell densities and reasonable volumetric productivities can be obtained in micro algal cultivation and improves of process design and nutrient supply regimes that are needed to achieve these goals.
