Research on aerosol sources and chemical composition: Past, current and emerging issues

TLDR
In spite of considerable progress in recent years, a quantitative and predictive understanding of atmospheric aerosol sources, chemical composition, transformation processes and environmental effects is still rather limited, and therefore represents a major research challenge in atmospheric science as discussed by the authors.

Exploratory and comparative analysis of the morphology and chemical composition of PM2.5 from regions with different socioeconomic characteristics

TL;DR: In this article, chemical and physical properties of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) are related to emission sources, and the results indicate that the influence of vehicular emissions as a common source at all sites.

Artefacts in the sampling of nitrate studied in the 'INTERCOMP' campaigns of EUROTRAC-AEROSOL

TL;DR: In a series of intercomparison trials, the authors of as mentioned in this paper found that ammonium nitrate degradation from Teflon and quartz filters is only substantial when temperatures are much higher than those during the field campaign, and that the influence of the mentioned artefacts was negligible.

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis

TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.
