The Northern Aerosol Regional Climate Model (NARCM) was used to construct a 44-yr climatology of spring Asian dust aerosol emission, column loading, deposition, trans-Pacific transport routes, and budgets during 1960–2003. Comparisons with available ground dust observations and Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) Aerosol Index (AI) measurements verified that NARCM captured most of the clima...

abstract: the dust is one of the weather phenomena that have negative environmental effects and consequences. the central city of ahvaz in khuzestan province is one of cities that in every year witnessed the dust in its environment. in this study, after determining that the dust phenomena data are abnormal, using the sen's nonparametric model been proceed to modeling of changes and survey ...

for determination of so2 concentration and its variation due to time and location within tehran air-shed area, department of environmental health, school of public health installed two units of semiautomatic air sampler, in tehran university campus and ghazvin-square area. collected samples were analyzed according to hydrogen peroxide method and for each month arithmetic mean was calculated. th...

Ambient PM2.5 aerosol samples were collected from Wroclaw residential area between January and April 2009, and their elemental compositions were studied. The mean mass concentration of PM2.5 was 36±21 μg/m. Based on the variability in elemental composition of atmospheric aerosols, using principal component analysis (PCA) and multiple linear regression (MLRA), four main sources of fine particula...

Starting in 2006, a new source of intense salt dust storms developed in Mar Chiquita (Córdoba, Argentina), the largest saline lake in South America. Storms originate from vast mudflats left by a 30-year expansion-retreat cycle of the lake due to changes in the regional rainfall regime. The annual frequency of salt dust storms correlated with the size of the salt mudflats. Events were restricted...
