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.

Influence of meteorological conditions on PM2.5 concentrations across China: A review of methodology and mechanism.

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

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.

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.

Acid gas and metal emission rates during long‐lived basalt degassing at Stromboli Volcano

TL;DR: The discharge of acid gases and metals from Stromboli is determined from airborne and ground-based filter sampling of particulate matter in the volcanic plume, combined with COSPEC measurements of SO2 fluxes as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emissions from charbroiling and grilling of chicken and beef.

TL;DR: Emission rates for fine particle (<2.5μ m ) mass, carbon (organic/elemental), inorganic ions, elements, and speciated organic compounds are reported for charbroiling hamburger, steak, and chicken in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI

A highly resolved anion-exchange chromatographic method for determination of saccharidic tracers for biomass combustion and primary bio-particles in atmospheric aerosol

TL;DR: In this article, an improved HPAEC with pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) method is developed and validated for simultaneous determination of atmospherically relevant sugar alcohols, monosaccharides, and monosACcharide anhydrides.
