Motivated by growing considerations of the scale, severity, and risks associated with human
exposure to indoor particulate matter, this work reviewed existing literature to:(i) identify state …

Heavy metal determination in ambient air is an important task for environmental researchers
because of their toxicity to human beings. Some heavy metals (hexavalent chromium (Cr) …

A total of 96 street dusts and 96 roadside soils have been sampled from three different
localities (urban, industrial, peripheral) of the city of Kavala (Greece) and analyzed for Pb …

Floating marine plastic debris was found to function as solid-phase extraction media,
adsorbing and concentrating pollutants out of the water column. Plastic debris was collected …

Quantifying the emissions and concentrations of heavy metals in urban air is a prerequisite
for assessing their health effects. In this paper a combination of measurements and …

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been associated with adverse health outcomes,
particularly in susceptible population groups such as children. This study aims to …

To identify the relative contribution of local versus regional sources of particulate matter (PM)
in the Greater Athens Area (GAA), simultaneous 24-h mass and chemical composition …

Secondary aerosol (SA) frequently drives severe haze formation on the North China Plain.
However, previous studies mostly focused on submicron SA formation, thus our …

This study was conducted in order to investigate the differences observed in source profiles
in the urban environment, when chemical composition parameters from different aerosol …

In order to understand the size distribution and the main kind of heavy metals in particulate
matter on the lead and zinc smelting affected area, particulate matter (PM) and the source …
