Repeated Human Exposure to Semivolatile Organic Compounds by Inhalation: Novel Protocol for a Nonrandomized Study

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean, Guillaume Suarez, Myriam Borgatta

Background: Semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) comprise several different chemical families used mainly as additives in many everyday products. SVOCs can be released into the air as aerosols and deposit on particulate matter during use by dispersion, e ...

Clean air policies are key for successfully mitigating Arctic warming

Julia Schmale, Luca Pozzoli

A tighter integration of modeling frameworks for climate and air quality is urgently needed to assess the impacts of clean air policies on future Arctic and global climate. We combined a new model emulator and comprehensive emissions scenarios for air poll ...

Long-range transport of pollution to Europe : origins, chemical and transport pathways, and impact on tropospheric composition

Marion Auvray

Ozone (O3) and aerosols are harmful to human health. Long-range transport sources contribute to the background levels upon which local pollution builds. The goal of this thesis is to describe and quantify the respective contribution of local and long-range ...
