Abstract - There exists increasing evidence supporting the important role of black carbon in global carbon cycles. Particulate black carbon (PBC) is allochthonous and has distinct reactivities...
Panel studies have shown adverse effects of air pollution from biomass burning on children’s health. This study estimated the effect of current levels of outdoor air pollution in the...
Bulk aerosol samples collected during 2010 and 2011 at one receptor site in Córdoba City, Argentina, have been quantitatively analyzed to determine aerosol elemental composition by using SR-XRF. A...
Ground-based aerosol instrumentation covering particle size diameters from 25 nm to 32 lm was deployed to determine aerosol concentration and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN)-activation properties...
Black carbon (BC) was characterized by three complementary techniques – incandescence (single particle soot photometer, SP2, at Parque Morelos), light absorption (cavity ringdown...
Background: Globally, 2.8 billion people rely on household solid fuels. Reducing the resulting adverse health, environmental, and development consequences will involve transitioning through a mix...
One of the tasks of the PAN LAC is to analyze and compile existing public policy frameworks for brick-related industries in Latin American countries, based on previous and current findings of the...
This policy update looks at a proposed 2014 update by Mexico's Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) to existing emissions standards regulating particulate matter (PM),...
