Source apportionment of submicron organic aerosols at an urban site by factor analytical modelling of aerosol mass spectra
V. A. Lanz,M. R. Alfarra,Urs Baltensperger,Brigitte Buchmann,Christoph Hueglin,André S. H. Prévôt +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, positive matrix factorization (PMF) was used for the first time for aerosol mass spectra to identify the main com- ponents of the total organic aerosol and their sources.
Nitrogen oxide measurements at rural sites in Switzerland : Bias of conventional measurement techniques
Martin Steinbacher,Christoph Zellweger,Beat Schwarzenbach,S. Bugmann,Brigitte Buchmann,Carlos Ordóñez,André S. H. Prévôt,Christoph Hueglin +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented long-term collocated NO2 measurements using molybdenum and photolytic converters at two rural sites in Switzerland, and they found that the MNO2 measurements systematically overestimate the true value because of interferences of these compounds, especially when sampling photochemically aged air masses.
PM10 emission factors for non-exhaust particles generated by road traffic in an urban street canyon and along a freeway in Switzerland
Nicolas Bukowiecki,Nicolas Bukowiecki,Peter Lienemann,M. Hill,Markus Furger,A. Richard,Fulvio Amato,André S. H. Prévôt,Urs Baltensperger,Brigitte Buchmann,Robert Gehrig +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified and quantified the non-exhaust fraction of traffic related PM10 for two roadside locations in Switzerland with different traffic regimes, and the results showed a major influence of vehicle induced resuspension of road dust.

A 2.5 year's source apportionment study of black carbon from wood burning and fossil fuel combustion at urban and rural sites in Switzerland
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present 2.5 years of seven-wavelength aethalometer data from one urban and two rural background sites in Switzerland measured from 2008-2010.
Assessment of parameters describing representativeness of air quality in-situ measurement sites
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel approach for the assessment of parameters reflecting site representativeness is presented, taking emissions, deposition and transport towards 34 sites covering Western and Central Europe into account.
