Assessment of air quality after the implementation of compressed natural gas (CNG) as fuel in public transport in Delhi, India.
TL;DR: The daily variation in PAHs levels was studied and thePAHs concentrations were observed to be relatively high between 10 pm to 6 am, which gives a proof of a relation with the limited day entry and movement of heavy vehicles in Delhi.
Chemical Characteristics of Particulate Matter Emission from a Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Using ETC Cycle Dynamometer Test
TL;DR: In this article, the chemical characteristics of diesel particulate matter (DPM) were analyzed using a diesel engine with an engine dynamometer and a quartz fiber membrane and an organic membrane filter.
Role of sooty mold fungi in accumulation of fine-particle-associated PAHs and metals on deciduous leaves
Venera A. Jouraeva,David L. Johnson,John P. Hassett,David J. Nowak,Natalia A. Shipunova,Dana Barbarossa +5 more
TL;DR: Inter-species comparison revealed that in the absence of sooty mold fungi, physico-chemical properties of epicuticular waxes, rather than the amounts of Waxes, might play an important role in accumulation of particulate matter on leaves.
Source Identification of Atmospheric Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Industrial Complex Using Diagnostic Ratios and Multivariate Factor Analysis
TL;DR: The atmospheric PAHs in this study were found to stem from the combination of vehicular emission, combustion (coal or biomass–wood or grass, and petroleum), and petroleum.
Mass fraction spatiotemporal geostatistics and its application to map atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons after 9/11
William B. Allshouse,Joachim D. Pleil,Joachim D. Pleil,Stephen Rappaport,Stephen Rappaport,Marc L. Serre +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear Bayesian maximum entropy framework was used to perform the geostatistical estimation of atmospheric PM2.5 components by modeling the mass fraction at a selection of space/time locations where the component is measured.

TL;DR: Increased mortality is associated with sulfate and fine particulate air pollution at levels commonly found in U.S. cities, although the increase in risk is not attributable to tobacco smoking, although other unmeasured correlates of pollution cannot be excluded with certainty.

PAH source fingerprints for coke ovens, diesel and, gasoline engines, highway tunnels, and wood combustion emissions
TL;DR: In this article, a modified high-volume sampling method (PS-1 sampler) was employed to collect airborne polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in both the particulate and gas phases.

Source Apportionment of Atmospheric Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Collected from an Urban Location in Birmingham, U.K.
TL;DR: In this paper, a seasonal sampling campaign was undertaken at an urban location in Birmingham, U.K., in which high-volume samplers were used to collect particulate and vapor-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by means of filter papers and polyurethane foam plugs.

Air pollution and daily mortality: a review and meta analysis.
TL;DR: A detailed examination of data from Philadelphia showed that control for season and weather was adequate for removing all long-term seasonal and subseasonal patterns from the mortality data, and that using a very flexible nonlinear fit to the weather factors did not disturb the association with TSP.
