Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is formed from the atmospheric oxidation of gas-phase
organic compounds leading to the formation of particle mass. Gasoline-and diesel-powered …

Short‑lived climate forcers (SLCFs) affect climate and are, in most cases, also air pollutants.
They include aerosols (sulphate, nitrate, ammonium, carbonaceous aerosols, mineral dust …

The rapid urbanization and growing number of megacities and urban complexes requires

Abstract Recently, PM 2.5 (atmospheric fine particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter≤
2.5 μm) have received so much attention that the observations, source appointment and …

South Asian megacities are strong sources of regional air pollution. Delhi is a key hotspot of
health-and climate-impacting black carbon (BC) emissions, affecting environmental …

Accelerating growth of urban populations, especially in developing countries, has become a
driving force of human development. Crowded cities are centres of creativity and economic …

Within the framework of air quality studies at the megacity scale, highly time-resolved volatile
organic compound (C 2–C 8) measurements were performed in downtown Paris (urban …
