Interactive comment on “Joint Measurements of PM2.5 and light-absorptive PM in woodsmoke-dominated ambient and plume environments” by K. Max Zhang et al
نویسنده
چکیده
1. "The authors are interested in quantification of the contribution of woodsmoke to PM2.5. Source apportionment always depends on the assumptions of the method employed to determine the sources. The authors make the statement that PM2.5 is dominated by woodsmoke on p. 5 (lines 12-13) and p. 10 (line 14). This should be the result of the work, not an initial assumption, which cannot be tested without addi-

Interactive comment on “Joint Measurements of PM2.5 and light-absorptive PM in woodsmoke-dominated ambient and plume
This paper presents analysis that advances understanding of how to potentially assess woodsmoke in air without the need to conduct complex chemical analysis of a woodsmoke marker levoglucosan. It presents mostly useful and straightforward analysis from a study using aethalometers to measure PM2.5 optical absorption under conditions in which mainly woodsmoke is expected. They use this data, alon...
متن کاملبررسی غلظت 5/2 PM و پارامترهای موثر بر انتشارآن در سیستم متروی ایران به سال 1391
Objective and Background: Among air pollutants, particles are the primary and major pollutant. Research conducted by World Health Organization (WHO) shows that per each 10 micrograms increase in the concentration of particles, the mortality rate rises 1 to 3 times. The purpose of this study has been to determine the concentration of PM2.5 and determinants of it distribution in Tehran’s metro st...
متن کاملProviding Context for Ambient Particulate Matter and Estimates of Attributable Mortality.
Four papers on fine particulate matter (PM2.5 ) by Anenberg et al., Fann et al., Shin et al., and Smith contribute to a growing body of literature on estimated epidemiological associations between ambient PM2.5 concentrations and increases in health responses relative to baseline notes. This article provides context for the four articles, including a historical review of provisions of the U.S. ...
متن کاملAssessing the capacity of trees and shrubs species to accumulate of particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5 and PM0.2)
Background and Objective: Today, the presence and increase of particulate matter is one of the serious factors that threaten human health. In the meantime, trees can accumulate airborne particles by their foliage. In this study, the accumulating ability of various PM by the leaf of some tree and shrub species was evaluated in Isfahan. Materials and Methods: 12 species of trees and shrubs were ...
متن کاملReply to Li et al.: Insufficient evidence for the contribution of regional transport to severe haze formation in Beijing.
Contrary to the finding by Guo et al. (1), Li et al. argue that regional transport of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) represents the major cause for severe haze formation in Beijing (2). We noticed that the letter by Li et al. contains numerous nonscientific and unsubstantiated arguments: for example, “Guo et al.’s conclusion. . .goes against a broadly held view” and “Our [Li et al.’s] conclusi...
