High concentrations of ozone in the Uinta Basin, Utah, can occur after sufficient snowfall and a strong atmospheric anticyclone creates a persistent cold pool that traps emissions from oil and gas operations, where sustained photolysis of the precurs...

There are meteorological situations when huge amounts of Saharan dust are transported from Africa to Europe. These natural dust events may have a significant impact on particulate matter concentrations at monitoring sites. This phenomenon affects mai...

This study compares the PM10 (particulate matter of diameter smaller than 10 μm) organic aerosol composition between urban and suburban stations in Heraklion, Crete, during winter 2024 in order to highlight the impact of local anthropogenic activi...

This paper examines aerosol propagation in wind instruments through numerical analysis, focusing on particle trajectories within five types of wind instruments: saxophone, clarinet, flute, oboe, and trumpet. Using a computational fluid dynamics appro...

Air pollution’s effects on physical health, especially cardiovascular and respiratory, are well known. Exposure to air pollution may damage every organ and cell in the human body. New evidence is emerging showing that air pollution adversely af...

Air pollution knows no boundaries, which means for a city or a region to attain clean air standards, we must not only look at the emission sources within its own administrative boundary but also at sources in the immediate vicinity and those originat...

For the current article, forty-two fogwater samples are collected at four sites in Alsace (Strasbourg, Geispolsheim, Erstein, and Cronenbourg) between 2015 and 2021, except 2019 and 2020. Spatio-temporal evolution is studied for their inorganic fract...

In this study, we examine and assess the potential impact of diesel engine age on the levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in school buses. The concentration of air pollutants is influenced by several factors, including the technical characteris...

Passive samplers have long been used to measure atmospheric pollutants in both indoor and outdoor environments. They are simple to operate, and can now monitor several chemical species. However, their use is limited because they usually require a lon...
