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.

Chemical Fractionation in Environmental Studies of Potentially Toxic Particulate-Bound Elements in Urban Air: A Critical Review

Ryszard Świetlik, +1 more
- 01 Mar 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , a review of the literature on chemical fractionation of potentially toxic elements in airborne particles is presented, focusing on the issue of atmospheric aerosol sampling, sample pretreatment, sequential extraction schemes and conditions of individual extractions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advances on the immunotoxicity of outdoor particulate matter: A focus on physical and chemical properties and respiratory defence mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report literature results on the possible link between outdoor Particulate Matter (PM) and health outcomes with a focus on pulmonary infections and the mechanisms responsible for observed negative effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aerosols and trace gases characterization over Indo-Gangetic plain in semiarid region

TL;DR: In this article, measurements of aerosols, their chemical properties and precursor trace gases at Agra in the Indo-Gangetic plain were carried out and the average TSPM level is 441.2 and ranges between 60.8 and 1004.6μgm −3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organic chemical characterization of size segregated particulate matter samples collected from a thermal power plant area

TL;DR: Polar organic compound concentrations were higher in the summer period at both locations probably due to the higher sunlight intensity and temperature favoring their photochemical formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retrieving the relative contribution of aerosol types from single particle analysis and radiation measurements and calculations: A comparison of two independent approaches

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative contribution of different types of aerosols at an urban site by using two independent approaches: individual particle analysis, and radiative transfer calculations and irradiance measurements.

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.

Climate change 2001: the scientific basis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the climate system and its dynamics, including observed climate variability and change, the carbon cycle, atmospheric chemistry and greenhouse gases, and their direct and indirect effects.

Atmospheric chemistry and physics: from air pollution to climate change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model for the chemistry of the Troposphere of the atmosphere and describe the properties of the Atmospheric Aqueous phase of single aerosol particles.
