Airborne particulate matter (PM10) contains a large number of genotoxic and carcinogenic substances. Ambient air is reported to be mutagenic in many areas worldwide. Particulate matter has been linked to premature mortality, lung cancer, respiratory and cardiovascular health problems. In the present st...
Particulate matter (PM) samples were taken at several locations around two large North American Airports in late 2005. The Particulate matter samples were analyzed gravimetrically and via X-Ray Fluorescence to determine the amount and make up of particulate matter emissions at these airports. The ...
Evidence reveals that approximately 90% of the world's population is exposed to air pollution, leading to an estimated nine million premature deaths in 2015 and making it a predominant cause of global premature mortality2,3. Among the array of pollutants, fine particulate matter, specifically ...

The aim of this work is based on the physical characterization of particulate matter emission from two different fuels used in public transport: diesel and ecologic. Particulate mass is determined by gravimetric method, while chemical-physical composition by electron microscopy and microanalysis. The ...

Very high concentration of suspended particulate matter (SPM) is observed at traffic junctions in India. Factor analysis-multiple regression (FA-MR), a receptor modelling technique has been used for quantitative apportionment of the sources contributing to the SPM at two traffic junctions (Sakinaka ...
Gross sedimentation rates (GSR) and the main biochemical characteristics of settling particulate matter were monitored at two NW Mediterranean sites (the Bay of Banyuls-sur-Mer, France, and the Medes Islands, Spain) throughout a year to assess possible differences in particulate organic matter (POM...
