Fine particulate matter (PM) chemical composition has strong and diverse impacts on the planetary environment, climate, and health. These effects are still not well understood due to limited surface observations and uncertainties in chemical model si...
Fibrous filter made up of non-woven material was utilized in many industrial applications for increasing the collection efficiency and the quality factor. But there exists a competing effect among the fibre diameter, filtration efficiency, pressure d...
Exposure to bio-aerosols such as pollen can lead to adverse health effects. There is a need for a portable and cost-effective device for long-term monitoring and quantification of various types of pollen. To address this need, we present a mobile and...
The latest Multi-angle Imaging Spectro Radiometer (MISR) Version (V) 23 aerosol optical depth (AOD) products were released, with an improved spatial resolution of 4.4 km, providing an unprecedented opportunity for the refined regional application. To...
Various volatile aerosols have been associated with adverse health effects; however, characterization of these aerosols is challenging due to their dynamic nature. Here, we present a method that directly measures the volatility of particulate matter ...
Despite their extremely small size, fine-mode aerosols have significant impacts on the environment, climate, and human health. However, current understandings of global changes in fine-mode aerosols are limited. In this study, we employed newly devel...
Particulate matter with a mass concentration of particles with a diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM) is a key air quality parameter. A real-time knowledge of PM is highly valuable for lowering the risk of detrimental impacts on human health. To achieve th...
