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.

Ryerson,Jeff Peischl,Jeff Peischl,L. G. Huey,A. T. Case Hanks +27 more
TL;DR: In this article, the emissions from the ambient isoprene and monoterpene measurements assuming a well-mixed boundary layer were compared with the emissions derived from the inventories extracted along the flight tracks.

Particulate emission rates for unpaved shoulders along a paved road
Hans Moosmüller,John A. Gillies,C. F. Rogers,David Dubois,Judith C. Chow,John G. Watson,Rodney Langston +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that the majority of PM10 emissions from unpaved shoulders is caused by relatively few vehicles, and fast-response observations from nephelometers and a sonic anemometer were used to characterize short-lived dust plumes generated by passing vehicles.

TL;DR: In this article, extensive measurements of the emission of light absorbing carbon aerosol (LAC) from commercial shipping are presented, where the highest emitters (per unit fuel burnt) are tug boats, thus making significant contributions to local air quality in ports.

A review of vehicle related metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the UK environment
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the importance of automobiles as a continuing source of persistent pollutants in the environment, using the UK as a case study, and discussed the measures available to reduce and control their impact on the environment.

Summer 2009 wildfires in Portugal: Emission of trace gases and aerosol composition
Célia Alves,Ana Vicente,Teresa Nunes,Cátia Gonçalves,Ana Patrícia Fernandes,Fátima Mirante,Luís A.C. Tarelho,Ana M. Sánchez de la Campa,Xavier Querol,Alexandre Caseiro,Cristina Monteiro,Margarita Evtyugina,Casimiro Pio +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, emissions of trace gases and aerosols from several wildfires occurring in Portugal were sampled using a portable high-volume sampler, which was used to collect sequentially, on quartz fibre filters, coarse (PM25−10) and fine (PM 25 −10) smoke particles.
