Spatial distribution of PM2.5 associated organic compounds in central California
TL;DR: In the California Regional PM2.5/PM10 Air Quality Study, annual average concentrations of individual organic species within compound classes were observed to be highly correlated for many of the central California sites as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The geometric mean diameters (GMDs) of organic aerosols are larger in the fine mode during the hazy days, suggesting aerosols emitted from the wheat straw burning are larger than those from fossil fuel combustion, and fine particle coagulation and organic compound repartitioning were enhanced.
Diesel engines: environmental impact and control.
TL;DR: The Critical Review states and provides evidence about the effects of diesel emissions on occupational and public health, while recognizing diesel's lower emissions of ozone-forming hydrocarbon precursors and CO compared with gasoline engines.

Source and risk apportionment of selected VOCs and PM2.5 species using partially constrained receptor models with multiple time resolution data
TL;DR: Results indicated that a larger contributor to mass concentration may not correspond to a higher risk, and traffic/industry related factor was the major cause for benzene, ethylbenzene, Cr, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons while petrochemical related factor contributed most to the Ni risk.

TL;DR: Average higher char(TOR)/soot(TOR) was observed in Lake Taihu than in Lake Chaohu in the past 150 years, consistent with the longer and more extensive industrialization around the Taihu region.
