The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

A review was conducted of the published literature on source apportionment of ambient
particulate matter (PM) in Europe using receptor models (RMs). Consistent records were …

Factor analysis utilizes the covariance of compositional variables to separate sources of
ambient pollutants like particulate matter (PM). However, meteorology causes concentration …

Black carbon aerosol plays a unique and important role in Earth's climate system. Black
carbon is a type of carbonaceous material with a unique combination of physical properties …

Based on the detailed data of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with 102 components
measured continuously from September 2016 to August 2017 in Wuhan, the pollution …

Based on detailed data on 102 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) measured continuously
from 2016.10. 9 to 2016.11. 17 in Wuhan, the VOC characteristics, secondary organic …

Abstract In recent years, PM2. 5 and O 3 pollutions are prevalent in the atmosphere in
Beijing. The study on pollution characteristics of VOC, which are important precursors of O 3 …

Abstract Fine particle (PM 2.5) samples were collected simultaneously at three urban sites
(Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou) and one rural site near Ningbo in the Yangtze River …

abstract Statistical analysis of air mass back trajectories combined with long-term ambient
air pollution measurements are useful tools for source identification. Using these methods …

In this paper a new receptor modelling method is developed to identify and characterise
emission sources. The method is an extension of the commonly used conditional probability …
