Source apportionment of black carbon and combustion-related CO₂ for the determination of source-specific emission factors [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2023
Black carbon (BC) aerosol typically has two major sources in the urban environment: traffic and domestic biomass burning, which has a significant contribution to urban air pollution during the heating season. Traffic emissions have been widely studied by

Highly Time-Resolved Apportionment of Carbonaceous Aerosols from Wildfire Using the TC–BC Method: Camp Fire 2018 Case Study

Toxics, 2023
The Camp Fire was one of California’s deadliest and most destructive wildfires, and its widespread smoke threatened human health over a large area in Northern California in November 2018.

Rapid measurement of RH-dependent aerosol hygroscopic growth using a humidity-controlled fast integrated mobility spectrometer (HFIMS) [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2021
The ability of aerosol particles to uptake water (hygroscopic growth) is an important determinant of aerosol optical properties and radiative effects.

Regularized inversion of aerosol hygroscopic growth factor probability density function: application to humidity-controlled fast integrated mobility spectrometer measurements [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2022
The new Aerosol hygroscopic growth plays an important role in atmospheric particle chemistry and the effects of aerosol on radiation and hence climate. The hygroscopic growth is often characterized by a growth factor probability density function (GF-PDF),

Molecular rearrangement of bicyclic peroxy radicals is a key route to aerosol from aromatics

Nature Communications, 2023
The oxidation of aromatics contributes significantly to the formation of atmospheric aerosol. Using toluene as an example, we demonstrate the existence of a molecular rearrangement channel in the oxidation mechanism.

An experimental study on lung deposition of inhaled 2 μm particles in relation to lung characteristics and deposition models

Particle and Fibre Toxicology, 2023
Background The understanding of inhaled particle respiratory tract deposition is a key link to understand the health effects of particles or the efficiency for medical drug delivery via the lung.

Soot Particle Agglomeration Inlet (SPAI) for Enabling Online Chemical Composition Measurement of Nanoparticles with the Aerosol Mass Spectrometer

Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 2021
Nanoparticles are a topic of interest because of their effects on human health and the climate, but the current options for evaluating their chemical composition—one of the key properties that determine the mechanisms of these effects—remain very limited

Aerosolized Chemotherapy [PDF]

Journal of Aerosol Medicine, 2008
Regional chemotherapy has been proposed as a treatment modality in a number of cancer settings. In primary or metastatic lung cancer, administration of chemotherapy via inhalation could increase exposure of lung tumor to the drug, while minimizing systemic side effects.

Traffic-originated nanocluster emission exceeds H₂SO₄-driven photochemical new particle formation in an urban area [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020
Elevated ambient concentrations of sub-3 nm particles (nanocluster aerosol, NCA) are generally related to atmospheric new particle formation events, usually linked with gaseous sulfuric acid (H2SO4) produced via photochemical oxidation of sulfur ...
