TL;DR: In this article, the authors show the high impact that anthropogenic fugitive emissions of mineral dust have on air quality (levels of PM10, PM2.5 and some metals) in a region in SE Spain named L'Alacanti, showing how the increase of annual average PM10 concentrations over 40μg/m3 is due to extreme episodes occurring in 2006 and 2007, given the simultaneous recording of PM episodes at distant monitoring sites.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical methodology is proposed for estimating diffuse dust emissions from bulk solids managing (storage, handling, and transport) activities in the ceramic industry, based on analytical methods drawn from the AP-42, US Environmental Protection Agency reports and the Emission Estimation Technique (EET) Manual for Mining from Environment Australia.

TL;DR: High time-resolved aerosol data is provided which may be valuable for validating indoor aerosol models applied to risk assessment and for evidence regarding the potential deposition of particulate matter on human respiratory system.

TL;DR: In this article, the nanoparticles were formed and released during ablation of the porcelain tiles, and different release mechanisms were identified, such as melting and nucleation, while emissions from the mid-IR laser were attributed to melting and mechanical shockwaves.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first results of street washing and Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA) efficiencies at two industrial roads (paved and unpaved) in the Mediterranean region where the high solar radiation, warm climate, and scarce precipitation may play a key role in determining the efficiency of mitigation techniques.
