The impact of ship emission reductions can be maximised by considering climate, health
and environmental effects simultaneously and using solutions fitting into existing marine …

Light absorption by aerosols contributes to solar radiative forcing through absorption of solar
radiation and heating of the absorbing aerosol layer. Besides the direct radiative effect, the …

Aerosol black carbon is a unique primary tracer for combustion emissions. It affects the
optical properties of the atmosphere and is recognized as the second most important …

The optical properties of airborne mineral dust depend on its mineralogy, size distribution,
and shape, and they might vary between different source regions. To date, large differences …

The optical properties of the light-absorbing, carbonaceous substance often called
“soot,”“black carbon,” or “carbon black" have been the subject of some debate. These …

Although the definition and measurement techniques for atmospheric" black carbon"(" BC")
or" elemental carbon''(" EC") have long been subjects of scientific controversy, the recent …

The absorption Ångström exponent (AAE) is an important aerosol optical parameter used for
aerosol characterization and apportionment studies. The AAE of black carbon (BC) particles …

A source apportionment study was performed for particulate matter in the small village of
Roveredo, Switzerland, where more than 70% of the households use wood burning for …

Particulate emissions from motor vehicles have received increased attention over the past
two decades owing to associations observed between ambient particulate matter (PM) …

Experiments were conducted to investigate light absorption of organic aerosol (OA) in fresh
and photo-chemically aged biomass-burning emissions. The experiments considered …
