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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from coal combustion: Emissions, analysis, and toxicology
TL;DR: It is suggested that when using a coal stove indoors, a chimney should be used; the particles and gas containing PAHs should be released outdoors to reduce the health hazard, especially in Southwest China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term impacts of aerosols on precipitation and lightning over the Pearl River Delta megacity area in China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed seven-year measurements of precipitation, lightning flashes, and visibility from 2000 to 2006 in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region, China, with a focus on the Guangzhou megacity area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of aftertreatment devices on primary emissions and secondary organic aerosol formation potential from in-use diesel vehicles: results from smog chamber experiments
R. Chirico,R. Chirico,Peter F. DeCarlo,M. F. Heringa,Torsten Tritscher,R. Richter,André S. H. Prévôt,J. Dommen,Ernest Weingartner,G. Wehrle,Martin Gysel,M. Laborde,Urs Baltensperger +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results from smog chamber investigations characterizing the primary organic aerosol (POA) and the corresponding SOA formation at atmospherically relevant concentrations for three in-use diesel vehicles with different exhaust aftertreatment systems were presented.

Aerosol Enrichment of the Surfactant PFO and Mediation of the Water-Air Transport of Gaseous PFOA
Colin J. McMurdo,David A. Ellis,Eva Webster,Jessica Butler,Rebecca D. Christensen,Liisa Reid +5 more
TL;DR: The results imply that water bodies are not a permanent sink for atmospheric PFOA as previous studies have suggested and suggest that rainout rates are likely to be longer than previously hypothesized.

Estimating the secondary organic aerosol contribution to PM2.5 using the EC tracer method
Juan C. Cabada,Spyros N. Pandis,R. Subramanian,Allen L. Robinson,Andrea Polidori,Barbara J. Turpin +5 more
TL;DR: The EC tracer method is applied to a series of measurements by different carbonaceous aerosol samplers in the Pittsburgh Air Quality Study (PAQS) in order to estimate the concentration of secondary organic aerosol.
