We propose a simple method for the determination of the mass absorption coefficient (MAC) of light-absorbing impurities in snow. It is based on the spectral albedo/reflectance measurements in ...

In the UK, considerable efforts have been made to improve air quality. Its importance has been enshrined in law for nearly 70 ...

If you’ve been outside on a smoggy day, you’ve probably noticed that your body reacts poorly to bad air quality. Maybe you coughed, or got a headache. But what actually happens to your body when you ...

Epiphytic lichens, ambient PM-10, and bus air-filter aerosols collected in a city and the surrounding area were used to monitor urban atmospheric metal deposition in the Metz area, NE France.

Antarctica may seem pristine and almost devoid of life, but there's plenty of chemistry going on. Victoria Atkinson explains ...

This paper describes the relationship of climate to atmospheric particulate matter. The climate factors of precipitation, humidity, temperature and wind speed are mapped to the fine-particulate ...

Three mathematical models of air quality (CMAQ, CMAQ-MADRID, and REMSAD) are applied to simulate the response of atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations to reductions in the ...
