We present a new aerosol microphysics and gas aerosol partitioning submodel (Global Modal-aerosol eXtension, GMXe) implemented within the ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry model (EMAC, version 1.8). The submodel is computationally efficient and is suitable for medium to long term simulations with global and regional models. The aerosol size distribution is treated using 7 log-normal modes and h...

inhalation delivery of aerosolized antibacterials is preferred over conventional methods of delivery for targeting lung infection. the present study is concerned with the development and characterization of a novel, spray dried, aerosolized, chitosan polyelectrolyte complex (pec) based microparticles containing antibacterials for the treatment of lung infections.chitosan polyelectrolyte complex...

background: welding is one of the most exercised industrial processes which welders are exposed to chemical and physical hazardous agents. this study was conducted to evaluate occupational and environmental exposures to aerosols generated by welding processes in a factory. methods: a total of 28 samples of aerosols were collected at 4 different locations including indoor, outdoor, source of wel...

background: most rural carpet weaving workshops are part of the house and sanitary conditions of the workshop not only affect the weaving but also other family members this study aimed to determine the aerosol and bioaerosols concentration in the rural household carpet weaving workshops in isfahan. methods: in this this study is a cross - sectional study and was performed in 92 rural household ...

In this paper we describe and summarize the main achievements of the European Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality Interactions project (EUCAARI). EUCAARI started on 1 January 2007 and ended on 31 December 2010 leaving a rich legacy including: (a) a comprehensive database with a year of observations of the physical, chemical and optical properties of aerosol particles over Europe, (b) comprehe...

The water-soluble fractions of aerosol filter samples and cloud water collected during the Whistler Aerosol and Cloud Study (WACS 2010) were analyzed using an Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS). This is the first study to report AMS organic spectra of re-aerosolized cloud water, and to make direct comparison between the AMS spectra of cloud water and aerosol samples collected at the same ...

Aerosol drugs dominate a significant share of pharmaceutical preparations on the market. A novel sensitive method utilizing nano extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (nanoEESI-MS) has been developed for the rapid analysis of aerosol drug samples with quantitative information. Without any sample pretreatment, aerosol drugs were manually sprayed into the primary ion plume created ...

Abstract Anthropogenic aerosols effect on clouds remains a persistent source of uncertainty in future climate predictions. The evolution the environmental conditions controlling cloud properties is affected by themselves. Hence, aerosol-driven modifications can affect thermodynamic conditions, which turn could feed back to development. Here, comparing many different resolving simulations conduc...
