REFEREE #1 General comments: This paper presents a study of different components of air pollution at London Heathrow Airport in two periods covering warm and cold environmental conditions. The authors report measurements of both particulate and gaseous pollutants and use k-means clustering and positive matrix factorisation in an attempt to apportion measured pollution to emissions sources and processes.

متن کاملSources of sub-micrometre particles near a major international airport
The international airport of Heathrow is a major source of nitrogen oxides, but its contribution to the levels of sub-micrometre particles is unknown and is the objective of this study. Two sampling campaigns were carried out during warm and cold seasons at a site close to the airfield (1.2 km). Size spectra were largely dominated by ultrafine particles: nucleation particles (< 30 nm) were foun...
متن کاملHow Can a Global Social Support System Hope to Achieve Fairer Competiveness?; Comment on “A Global Social Support System: What the International Community Could Learn From the United States’ National Basketball Association”
Ooms et al sets out some good general principles for a global social support system to improve fairer global competitiveness as a result of redistribution. This commentary sets out to summarize some of the conditions that would need to be satisfied for it to level up gradients in inequality through such a social support system, using the National Basketball Association (NBA) example as a point ...
