Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is one of the main pollutants in the atmosphere and
poses a huge threat to public health. Secondary aerosol pollutants that are formed by …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivatives, such as nitro-PAHs, oxy-PAHs,
halogenated PAHs, and hydroxylated PAHs, are organic chemicals formed with or produced …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) carried or induced by particulate matter (PM) are suspected
of inducing oxidative stress in vivo, leading to adverse health impacts such as respiratory or …

Residential heating with solid fuels is one of the major drivers for poor air quality in Central
and Eastern Europe, and coal is still one of the major fuels in countries, such as Poland, the …

Using novel ionization technologies in single-particle mass spectrometry (SPMS), we
analyzed the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on individual particles from a …

Incomplete combustion of solid fuels (animal dung and bituminous coal) is a common
phenomenon during residential cooking and heating in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) …

Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) are ubiquitous pollutants that are found everywhere
in our environment, including air, soil and water. The aim of this study was to determine …

Effective density (ρeff) is an important property describing particle transportation in the
atmosphere and in the human respiratory tract. In this study, the particle size dependency of …

Particulate matter (PM) is emitted from various anthropogenic sources in urban areas
affecting the local air quality. The aim of this study was to characterize the sources …

Plumes from wildfires are transported over large distances from remote to populated areas
and threaten sensitive ecosystems. Dense wildfire plumes are processed by atmospheric …
