Source apportionment of the carbonaceous aerosol in Norway – quantitative estimates based on ¹⁴C, thermal-optical and organic tracer analysis

The most abundant elements from PIXE analysis were S, Si, K, Fe, Ca, and Al, while the major emissions sources associated with these ele- ments were industry, wind-blown soil,

These are: elemental carbon from combustion of biomass (EC bb ) and fossil fuel (ECff), organic carbon from combus- tion of biomass (OC bb ), fossil fuel (OCff), primary

The data used in this analysis (5 March–30 December 2013) were obtained using an Aerosol Chemical Speciation Moni- tor (ACSM), deployed at the urban background site in North

In this study, we analyzed number concentration and size distribution of aerosol particles, together with the mass concentration and chemical composition of UFPs and PM 1

The residential sector has been identified as a major cause of uncertainty in estimates of CO, NMVOC, and carbonaceous aerosol emissions in Asia (Streets et al., 2003a), because of

Measurements of aerosol chemical composition and aerosol optical depth in the Nepal Himalaya have clearly shown the build up of aerosols in the pre-monsoon season during the winter

trends. Nitrate was observed to peak in early morning, during the rush hours. The peak in nitrate concentration in the morning was most pronounced when the concentrations were large

In this context, the present work focuses on characterizing the sources of fine carbonaceous aerosols, by using the 14 C method and comparing it to results from other
