Efforts have been made to relate measured concentrations of airborne constituents to their
origins for more than 50 years. During this time interval, there have been developments in …

As the key for haze control, atmospheric fine particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter<
2.5 μm (or PM 2.5) is of great concern lately in China. It is closely linked to fast pace of …

Background: Short-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) concentrations
has been associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Determining which sources of …

Source culpability assessments are useful for developing effective emissions control
programs. The Integrated Source Apportionment Method (ISAM) has been implemented in …

Determining the reliable source contribution and spatial distribution of potentially toxic
elements (PTEs) is a focal issue for soil regulation and remediation. For this purpose, three …

Elemental potassium has been extensively used as an indicator of biomass burning in the
source apportionment of PM 2.5. We present a method to estimate the fraction of potassium …

Particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM 2.5) is the main air
pollutant in Beijing. To have a comprehensive understanding of concentrations …

Background Health effects associated with air pollution are typically evaluated using a
single pollutant approach, yet people are exposed to mixtures consisting of multiple …

Air pollution and climate change have attracted worldwide attention due to their significant
threats to human health and the environment. To maximize the co-benefits of clean air …

Air pollution and climate change are currently common global concern issues.
Understanding the main pollution sources of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) and carbon …
