Direct Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry for Monitoring of Photochemical Oxidation Reaction of Benzaldehyde in Face Mask [PDF]
Face masks are usually used to prevent inhalable particles and microdroplets that may enter the nose and mouth. However, a lot of organic contaminants can be found in materials, manufacturing processes, or packaging of face mask, so there is a potential ...

Are contributions of emissions to ozone a matter of scale? [PDF]
Anthropogenic and natural emissions influence the tropospheric ozone budget, thereby affecting air quality and climate. To study the influence of different emission sources on the ozone budget, often source apportionment studies with a tagged tracer ...

Estimation of the share of artificial Po-210 contamination in the ambient air [PDF]
In this work, source apportionment for unsupported 210Po was conducted. The activity size distributions of both supported and unsupported 210Po in urban aerosols were measured from February to December 2019.

Seasonal Variation and Source Apportionment of Inorganic and Organic Components in PM2.5: Influence of Organic Markers Application on PMF Source Apportionment [PDF]
Abstract PM2.5 samples collected over a 1-year period in a Chinese megacity were analyzed for organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), water soluble ions, elements and organic markers such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), hopanes, steranes, and n-alkanes.

Quantifying black carbon light absorption enhancement with a novel statistical approach [PDF]
Black carbon (BC) particles in the atmosphere can absorb more light when coated by non-absorbing or weakly absorbing materials during atmospheric aging, due to the lensing effect.
