Biomass burning tracers in urban and rural particles in Silesia - Poland

(Corresponding) Czaplicka M., Janoszka K.

Topic:

Air pollution

The major tracers are thermal degradation products from the biopolymer cellulose, namely the didehydromonosaccharide derivatives levoglucosan (LG), galactosan (GL) and mannosan (MN) and the resin acid derivative dehydroabietic acid, with minor β-sitosterol. The relative proportions of levoglucosan...Read more

Assessment of particulate pollution in a medium sized Greek city - the effect of biomass burning and COVID-19 lockdown

(Corresponding) Diamanti V., Triantafyllou A., Garas S.

Topic:

Air pollution

Airborne particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter of 10μm or less has severe negative effects on human health. In many European urban environments, small residential heating appliances contribute significantly to the degradation of air quality by generating a substantial quantity of PM...Read more
