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:

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.

Emission factor estimates of cereal waste burning in Spain
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of the atmospheric emission caused by the cereal waste fire process is presented, which is represented by an arithmetic combination that takes into account the amounts of mass burned during the two phases of the fire: 0.90 flaming + 0.10 smoldering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a local real world driving cycle for motorcycles for emission factor measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between a localized driving cycle (Kaohsiung Driving Cycle, KHM), European (ECE), USA, Japanese and Hong Kong cycles was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particle emissions of a railway line determined by detailed single particle analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified and quantified particles emitted from railway traffic by using a wind direction and speed controlled sampling equipment consisting of five devices, which were taken perpendicular to the railway lines at 10, 36 and 120m distance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the direct and indirect effects of secondary organic aerosols using ECHAM5-HAM
TL;DR: In this article, secondary organic aerosol (SOA) has been introduced into the global climate-aerosol model ECHAM5/HAM, which allows the calculation of partitioning of semi-volatile species between different size classes.
