TLDR
In this paper, the total element concentration and the chemical fractionation of 18 elements (Al, As, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sr, Ti, V, Zn) in total suspended particulate matter (TSP) from Beijing, China, were studied for a period of three years.About:

Use of Satellite Observations for Long-Term Exposure Assessment of Global Concentrations of Fine Particulate Matter
TL;DR: Satellite observations provide insight into global long-term changes in ambient PM2.5 concentrations, and significant agreement between satellite-derived estimates and ground-based measurements outside North America and Europe suggests that true global concentrations could be even greater.

Research on aerosol sources and chemical composition: Past, current and emerging issues
TL;DR: 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.

Temporal-spatial characteristics and source apportionment of PM 2.5 as well as its associated chemical species in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China
Jiajia Gao,Kun Wang,Yong Wang,Shuhan Liu,Chuanyong Zhu,Jiming Hao,Huanjia Liu,Shenbing Hua,Hezhong Tian,Hezhong Tian +9 more
TL;DR: The results showed that PM2.5 pollution was severe in the BTH region and was dominated by vehicle emissions in Beijing, combustion emissions including coal burning and biomass combustion in Langfang and Baoding, and soil and construction dust emissions in Tianjin, respectively.

PM 2.5 in the Yangtze River Delta, China: Chemical compositions, seasonal variations, and regional pollution events
TL;DR: Air mass backward trajectory and potential source contribution function (PSCF) analyses implied that areas of central and northern China contributed significantly to the concentration and chemical compositions of PM2.5 in Shanghai during winter, suggesting the importance of secondary aerosol formation during the three pollution events.

Characterization and source apportionment of PM 2.5 based on error estimation from EPA PMF 5.0 model at a medium city in China
Baoshuang Liu,Jianhui Wu,Jiaying Zhang,Lu Wang,Jiamei Yang,Danni Liang,Qili Dai,Xiaohui Bi,Yinchang Feng,Yufen Zhang,Qin-Xun Zhang +10 more
TL;DR: Heze city, a medium-size city in Shandong province, Eastern China, and chemical species and sources of PM2.5 were investigated, suggesting that mobile sources might make an important impact on the increase of PM 2.5 concentrations in spring/summer, and stationary sources might play a critical role on the increases in autumn/winter.

Sequential extraction procedure for the speciation of particulate trace metals
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical procedure involving sequential chemicai extractions was developed for the partitioning of particulate trace metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe, and Mn) into five fractions: exchangeable, bound to carbonates, binding to Fe-Mn oxides and bound to organic matter.

TL;DR: It is suggested that fine-particulate air pollution, or a more complex pollution mixture associated with fine particulate matter, contributes to excess mortality in certain U.S. cities.
