PM2. 5 is now subject to a limit value and exposure-reduction targets across the European
Union. This has led to a rapid expansion in PM2. 5 monitoring across Europe and this paper …

Understanding the particle number size distributions in diversified atmospheric
environments is important in order to design mitigation strategies related to submicron …

The Po valley in northern Italy is renowned for its high air pollutant concentrations.
Measurements of air pollutants from a background site in Modena, a town of 200 thousand …

Works of particle number and mass concentration variability have a great importance since
they may indicate better the influence of vehicle emissions in an urban region. Moreover, the …

Based on data from ground-based air quality stations, space–time variations of six principal
atmospheric pollutants, such as particulate matter (PM 2.5 and PM 10) and gas pollutants …

Biomass burning and primary biological aerosol particles account for an important part of
urban aerosols. Floods of studies have been conducted on the chemical compositions of …

In this paper, results from receptor modelling performed on a well-characterised PM 1
dataset were combined to chemical light extinction data (b ext) with the aim of assessing the …

The relationship between aerosol concentration and lightning is complex. Aerosols can act
as cloud condensation nuclei, contributing to the formation of cloud droplets, cloud …

Four intensive experimental campaigns were conducted in the Po Valley (Northern Italy) in
different seasons through the years 2012 and 2013, in the framework of the “Supersito” …

The need to evaluate personal exposure to aerosol instead of simply measuring outdoor
concentrations is now evident. In this connection, Personal Cascade Impactor Samplers …
