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.
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.

A pseudo-Lagrangian model study of the size distribution properties over Scandinavia: transport from Aspvreten to Värriö
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of aerosol number size distribution on both climate and human health on large spatial scales, and showed that the aerosol over the Nordic countries is characterised by a typically sharp gradient in aerosol particle number and mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methods of Aerosol Measurement before the 1960s
TL;DR: The time period before the 1960s can be described as the classical age of aerosol science and aerosol measurement as discussed by the authors, and the most frequently used sampling methods were impaction and impingement, thermal and electrostatic precipitation, and filtration.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Influence of Wildfires on Aerosol Size Distributions in Rural Areas
TL;DR: An analysis carried out at three different points in time—before, during, and after the passing of the smoke plume from the wildfires— shows that the mean geometric diameter of the fine mode in the measurements affected by the fire is smaller than the one obtained in theMeasurements carried out immediately before and after and presents average values of 0.11 μm.

Evaluation of the aggressive potential of marine chloride and sulfate salts on mortars applied as renders in the Metropolitan Region of Salvador--Bahia, Brazil.
TL;DR: The analysis of the various types of mortars tested indicated which types are more resistant to the aggressive potential of the region's marine aerosol and the distance from the shore where local buildings are liable to be most strongly affected.
