Mass Distribution of Particulate Matter Produced During Abrasion af Asphalt Mixtures in Laboratory
Communications, 2016 Non-exhaust emissions of particulate matter from road traffic can come from abrasion of vehicle parts (tyres, brake linings, clutch and bodywork) or from pavement surface abrasion and also from resuspension of dust. A differentiation between PM emissions

Sources and Temporal Variations of Coarse Particulate Matter (PM) in Central Tehran, Iran
Atmosphere, 2019 In this study, we used the positive matrix factorization (PMF) model to evaluate the sources of ambient coarse particulate matter (PM) and their temporal variations in two sampling sites, i.e., a school dormitory and a retirement home, located in central

Potential contribution of faeces to resuspended PM1−10 in urban environment
Atmospheric Environment: X, 2020 The respirable fraction of resuspended urban road dust contains phosphorous at enhanced concentrations which may imply the potential presence of animal faeces.Specific biomarkers such as faecal sterols and bile acids are commonly used to verify the ...
