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.About:

Multi-isotopic fingerprints (Pb, Zn, Cu) applied for urban aerosol source apportionment and discrimination.
TL;DR: Zinc and lead isotopic compositions of PM from Sao Paulo showed diurnal variations indicating the industrial contributions carried by cold fronts and road dust suspension associated to high wind speeds and traffic pattern.

Physical and chemical properties of non-exhaust particles generated from wear between pavements and tyres
Célia Alves,Ana Vicente,Ana I. Calvo,D. Baumgardner,Fulvio Amato,Xavier Querol,Casimiro Pio,Mats Gustafsson +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a road simulator was used to generate wear particles from the interaction between two tyre brands and a composite pavement, and particle size distributions were monitored using a scanning mobility part.

Particulate matter analysis in indoor environments of urban and rural primary schools using passive sampling methodology
Nuno Canha,Susana Marta Almeida,Maria do Carmo Freitas,Maria Ascensão Trancoso,Ana R. Sousa,Filomena Mouro,Hubert Th. Wolterbeek +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a passive sampling methodology was applied to collect particulate matter (PM) in classrooms of urban and rural primary schools in order to measure its soluble ions content and elemental composition.

Ambient particulate matter source apportionment using receptor modelling in European and Central Asia urban areas
Susana Marta Almeida,M. Manousakas,Evangelia Diapouli,Zs. Kertész,Lucyna Samek,Elena Hristova,Krešimir Šega,R Padilla Alvarez,Claudio A. Belis,Konstantinos Eleftheriadis +9 more
TL;DR: This work presents the results of a PM2.5 source apportionment study conducted in urban background sites from 16 European and Asian countries, finding that during high pollution days the largest sources of fine particles were biomass burning, traffic and secondary sulfates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards an integrated environmental risk assessment of emissions from ships' propulsion systems.
TL;DR: An integrated environmental risk assessment of the effects of emissions from oceangoing ships including the aquatic compartment is necessary and research should focus on the quantitative and qualitative determination of pollutant emissions from ships and their distribution and fate.
