High concentration of black carbon in northern Pakistan: Characteristics, source apportionment and emission source regions
Atmospheric Black Carbon (BC) is one of the absorbing components of solar radiation which potentially affects human health and regional climate. In the current study, BC mass concentrations were regularly observed for pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons using ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Adequacy of stationary measurements as proxies for residential personal exposure to gaseous and particle air pollutants
People are exposed to myriad of airborne pollutants in their homes. Owing to diverse potential sources of air pollution and human activity patterns, accurate assessment of residential exposures is complex. In this study, we explored the relationship betwee ...
ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE2023Impact of COVID-19 Lockdown on Oxidative Potential of Particulate Matter: Case of Athens (Greece)
This work evaluates the aerosol oxidative potential (OP) and its changes from modified air pollution emissions during the COVID-19 lockdown period in 2020, with the intent of elucidating the contribution of aerosol sources and related components to aerosol ...
MDPI2022Associations between urinary biomarkers of oxidative stress and biomarkers of tobacco smoke exposure in smokers
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean, Nicolas Sambiagio
Oxidative stress can contribute to the development of diseases, and may originate from exposures to toxicants commonly found in air pollution and cigarette smoke such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Yet, as ...

COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2022Temporary pause in the growth of atmospheric ethane and propane in 2015–2018
Hélène Paule Angot, Ilann Ernest Valentin Bourgeois
Atmospheric non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) play an important role in the formation of secondary organic aerosols and ozone. After a multidecadal global decline in atmospheric mole fractions of ethane and propane – the most abundant atmospheric NMHCs – pr ...
2021Nighttime chemistry of biomass burning emissions in urban areas: A dual mobile chamber study
Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis
Residential biomass burning for heating purposes is an important source of air pollutants during winter. Here we test the hypothesis that significant secondary organic aerosol production can take place even during winter nights through oxidation of the emi ...
