Input of particulate heavy metals from rivers and associated sedimentary deposits on the Gulf of Lion continental shelf [PDF]
Fluxes of the heavy metals chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) delivered by rivers to the Gulf of Lion (NW Mediterranean Sea) were estimated over a three year study of the River Rhone and its ...

Effect of Organic Particulate Matter on Vegetable Crops and their Control Potentials
Air pollution has an impact, include impact to the plants. The adverse effects of air pollution have been associated with three major sources. They are gaseous pollutant and particulates from fossil fuels, manufacturing plants and vehicles.

A summer time series of particulate carbon in the air and snow at Summit, Greenland [PDF]
Carbonaceous particulate matter is ubiquitous in the lower atmosphere, produced by natural and anthropogenic sources and transported to distant regions, including the pristine and climate-sensitive Greenland Ice Sheet.

Particulate Organic Matter in the Sea: The Composition Conundrum [PDF]
As organic matter produced in the euphotic zone of the ocean sinks through the mesopelagic zone, its composition changes from one that is easily characterized by standard chromatographic techniques to one that is not. The material not identified at the molecular level is called "uncharacterized".

What can we learn from amino acids about oceanic organic matter cycling and degradation? [PDF]
Amino acids (AAs) mainly bound in proteins are major constituents of living biomass and non-living organic material in the oceanic particulate and dissolved organic matter pool. Uptake and cycling by heterotrophic organisms lead to characteristic changes

Particulate and water-soluble carbon measured in recent snow at Summit, Greenland [PDF]
Water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC), waterinsoluble particulate organic carbon (WIOC), and particulate elemental carbon (EC) were measured simultaneously for the first time on the Greenland Ice Sheet in surface snow and in a 3-meter snow pit.

A Pilot Indoor-Outdoor Study of Organic Particulate Matter and Particulate Mutagenicity [PDF]
Elevated indoor concentrations of a number of gaseous and particulate pollutants have been demonstrated by numerous workers. The case of indoor to outdoor (I/O) relationships for particulate organic matter, however, is especially complex in view of the range of organic compounds in this fraction and the need for relatively sensitive analytical ...

River Organic Carbon Fluxes Modulated by Hydrodynamic Sorting of Particulate Organic Matter [PDF]
AbstractRivers regulate the global carbon cycle by transferring particulate organic carbon (POC) from terrestrial landscapes to marine sedimentary basins, but the processes controlling the amount and composition of fluvially exported POC are poorly understood. We propose that hydrodynamic sorting processes modify POC fluxes during fluvial transit.

Chlor-alkali industrial contamination and riverine transport of mercury: Distribution and partitioning of mercury between water, suspended matter, and bottom sediment of the Thur River, France [PDF]
Total dissolved and total particulate Hg mass balances were estimated during one hydrological period (July 2001–June 2002) in the Thur River basin, which is heavily polluted by chlor-alkali industrial activity.

Secondary organic aerosol formation from in-use motor vehicle emissions using a potential aerosol mass reactor. [PDF]
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from in-use vehicle emissions was investigated using a potential aerosol mass (PAM) flow reactor deployed in a highway tunnel in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Experiments consisted of passing exhaust-dominated tunnel
