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 LTD2023Assessment of personal exposure to particle and gaseous air pollutants in residences and offices
Maria Viviana Gonzalez Serrano
Poor indoor air quality has been associated with health issues and decreased work performance. Personal exposure that takes place both in outdoor and indoor environments is the result of dy-namic processes and complex interactions between people and surrou ...
EPFL2023Human personal air pollution clouds in a naturally ventilated office during the COVID-19 pandemic
Dusan Licina, Shen Yang, Akila Muthalagu
Personal cloud, termed as the difference in air pollutant concentrations between breathing zone and room sites, represents the bias in approximating personal inhalation exposure that is linked to accuracy of health risk assessment. This study performed a t ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Associations 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 ...
Elsevier2022Outdoor PM2.5 air filtration: optimising indoor air quality and energy
Dusan Licina, Evangelos Belias
Human inhalation exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), including the PM2.5 of outdoor origin, predominantly occurs indoors. To limit outdoor PM2.5 penetration into buildings, ventilation standards often require the filtration of outdoor air with a m ...
2022Nighttime 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 ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2021Energy, indoor air quality, occupant behavior, self-reported symptoms and satisfaction in energy-efficient dwellings in Switzerland
We performed the first large-scale investigation of indoor air quality (IAQ), energy and occupant behavior and satisfaction, in 650 energy-efficient dwellings in western Switzerland. The investigation included comparative assessment of 217 green-certified ...
2020Investigation of perceived air quality, occupants’ behaviour and air pollutant levels in two open-space office buildings in Switzerland
Dusan Licina, Dolaana Khovalyg, Caroline Karmann, Verena Marie Barthelmes, Maria Viviana Gonzalez Serrano
indoor air quality, perceived air quality, occupant behavior, office environment ...
2020Long-term monitoring of black carbon across Germany
Lately, black carbon (BC) has received significant attention due to its climate-warming properties and adverse health effects. Nevertheless, long-term observations in urban areas are scarce, most likely because BC monitoring is not required by environmenta ...
2018Linked Response of Aerosol Acidity and Ammonia to SO2 and NOx Emissions Reductions in the United States
Large reductions of sulfur and nitrogen oxide emissions in the United States have led to considerable improvements in air quality, though recent analyses in the Southeastern United States have shown little response of aerosol pH to these reductions. This s ...
