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:

Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of meteorological conditions on PM2.5 concentrations across China: A review of methodology and mechanism.
Ziyue Chen,Danlu Chen,Chuanfeng Zhao,Mei Po Kwan,Jun Cai,Yan Zhuang,Bo Zhao,Xiaoyan Wang,Bin Chen,Jing Yang,Ruiyuan Li,Bin He,Bingbo Gao,Kaicun Wang,Bing Xu +14 more
TL;DR: Suggestions on future research and major meteorological approaches for mitigating PM2.5 pollution are made and causality analysis methods are found more suitable for extracting the influence of individual meteorological factors whilst statistical models are good at quantifying the overall effect of multiple meteorological Factors on PM 2.5.

An overview of particulate emissions from residential biomass combustion
Estela D. Vicente,Célia Alves +1 more
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.

Quantitative contributions of the major sources of heavy metals in soils to ecosystem and human health risks: A case study of Yulin, China
TL;DR: An analysis of the Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo), Contamination Index (Pi), RI, CR and HI of heavy metals identified universal ecosystem risks and both carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic health risks in most sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of factors impacting emission/concentration of cooking generated particulate matter.
TL;DR: This study reviewed controlled studies available in the cooking PM emissions literature, and found that cooking method, type and quality of the energy source, burner size, cooking pan, cooking oil, food, additives, source surface area, cooking temperature, ventilation and position of the cooking pan on the stove are influential factors affecting cooking PM emission rates and resulting concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of atmospheric particulate matter pollution on environmental biogeochemistry of trace metals in soil-plant system: A review
TL;DR: This systematic review summarizes the interactions of PMs-TMs in soil-plant systems including the deposition, transfer, accumulation, toxicity, and mechanisms among them and current knowledge gaps and prospective are proposed for future research agendas.

A review of natural aerosol interactions and feedbacks within the Earth system
Kenneth S. Carslaw,Olivier Boucher,Dominick V. Spracklen,Graham Mann,J. G. L. Rae,Simon Woodward,Markku Kulmala +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the impact of natural systems on atmospheric aerosol based on observations and models, including the potential for long term changes in emissions and the feedbacks on climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The respiratory health hazards of volcanic ash: a review for volcanic risk mitigation
TL;DR: A more systematic approach to multi-disciplinary studies in future eruptions is recommended, including establishing an archive of ash samples and a website containing health advice for the public, together with scientific and medical study guidelines for volcanologists and health-care workers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Summertime PM 2.5 ionic species in four major cities of China: nitrate formation in an ammonia-deficient atmosphere
TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed sulfate, nitrate and ammonium in PM2.5 samples collected using a 24-h filter system at suburban and rural sites near four major cities in China (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Lanzhou).
Journal ArticleDOI
Abundance of cellular material and proteins in the atmosphere.
TL;DR: It turns out that cellular material and proteins compose up to 25% of the atmospheric aerosol, and the source strength of the biogenic aerosol in general must be corrected and should be estimated on the order of other major aerosol sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of volatile organic compound source apportionment by chemical mass balance
TL;DR: The chemical mass balance (CMB) receptor model has been used to apportion volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in more than 20 urban areas, mostly in the United States as mentioned in this paper.
