Contributions to cities' ambient particulate matter (PM): a systematic review of local source contributions at global level

TLDR
In this paper, the authors systematically reviewed and analyzed available source apportionment studies on particulate matter (of diameter of 10 and 25 microns, PM10 and PM25) performed in cities to estimate typical shares of the sources of pollution by country and by region.

A review of current knowledge concerning PM 2. 5 chemical composition, aerosol optical properties and their relationships across China

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed and summarized existing field studies conducted after the year 2000 in terms of geographical, interannual and seasonal distributions of PM2.5 chemical composition and its impact on aerosol optical properties across China.
Journal ArticleDOI

The nexus between air pollution, green infrastructure and human health.

TL;DR: It is concluded that urban vegetation can facilitate broad health benefits, but there is little empirical evidence linking these benefits to air pollution reduction by urban vegetation, and appreciable efforts are needed to establish the underlying policies, design and engineering guidelines governing its deployment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The concentration-response between long-term PM2.5 exposure and mortality; A meta-regression approach.

TL;DR: This meta‐analysis provides strong evidence for the adverse effect of PM2.5 on mortality, that studies with poorer exposure have lower effect size estimates, that more control for SES increases effect size Estimates, and that significant effects are seen below 10 &mgr;g/m3.
Journal ArticleDOI

An overview of particulate emissions from residential biomass combustion

TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive tabulation of particulate matter emission factors obtained worldwide is presented and critically evaluated, and the suitability of specific organic markers to assign the input of residential biomass combustion to the ambient carbonaceous aerosol are also discussed.
