Lessons from the COVID-19 air pollution decrease in Spain: Now what?
(2021)
We offer an overview of the COVID-19 -driven air quality changes across 11 metropolises in Spain with the focuson lessons learned on how continuing abating pollution. Trafficflow decreased by up to 80% during the lockdownand ...
Inter-comparison of receptor models for PM source apportionment: Case study in an industrial area
(Elsevier, 2008)
Receptor modelling techniques are used to identify and quantify the contributions from emission sources to the levels
and major and trace components of ambient particulate matter (PM). A wide variety of receptor models ...
Variations in vanadium, nickel and lanthanoid element concentrations in urban air
(Elsevier, 2010)
The emission of trace metal pollutants by industry and transport takes place on a scale large enough to alter atmospheric chemistry and results in measurable differences between the urban background of inhalable particulate ...
Environmental characterization of burnt coal gangue banks at Yangquan, Shanxi Province, China
(Elsevier, 2008)
The environmental characteristics of coal gangue dumps in Yangquan (Shanxi Province, China) were investigated. The amounts of coal gangue are very high in this coal region given the large coal production. As a result, ...
Spatial and temporal variations in airborne particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) across Spain 1999–2005
(2008-06)
Average ranges of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) concentrations and chemical composition in Spain show significant variations across the country, with current PM10 levels at several industrial and traffic hotspots ...
Receptor models application to multi-year ambient PM10 measurements in an industrialized ceramic area: comparison of source apportionment results
(Elsevier, 2008-12)
Ambient PM10 data collected in one of the largest industrialized ceramic areas of Europe were used to study similarities and differences in the source apportionment results from three widespread receptor models: chemical ...
Impact of fugitive emissions in ambient PM levels and composition. A case study in Southeast Spain
(Elsevier, 2010)
The results of this study show the high impact that anthropogenic fugitive emissions of mineral dust have on air quality (levels of PM<sub>10</sub>, PM<sub>2.5</sub> and some metals) in a region in SE Spain named L'Alacantí. ...
Effect of ceramic industrial particulate emission control on key components of ambient PM10
(Elsevier, 2009)
The relationship between specific particulate emission control and ambient levels of some PM10 components (Zn, As, Pb, Cs, Tl) was evaluated. To this end, the industrial area of Castellón (Eastern Spain) was selected, where ...
Quantifying road dust resuspension in urban environment by Multilinear Engine: A comparison with PMF2
(Elsevier, 2009)
Atmospheric PM pollution from traffic comprises not only direct emissions but also non-exhaust emissions because resuspension of road dust that can produce high human exposure to heavy metals, metalloids, and mineral matter. ...
Simple estimates of vehicle-induced resuspension rates
(Elsevier, 2011-10)
Road dust emissions are considered to be a major source of airborne particulate matter (PM). This is particularly true for industrial environments, where there are high resuspensionrates of deposited dust. The calculation ...
