Effects of driving behavior on real-world emissions of particulate matter, gaseous pollutants and particle-bound PAHs for diesel trucks

Narayan Babu Dhital et al.

Summary: This study found that engine rated power is a major determinant of emissions of particulate matter, PAHs, and most gaseous pollutants from diesel trucks. Additionally, driving behavior and road grade significantly impact emissions.

Assessment of metals in PM10 filters and Araucaria heterophylla needles in two areas of Quito, Ecuador

Tabatha Mancheno et al.

Summary: The reliability of Araucaria heterophylla needles as a biomonitor was assessed by analyzing metal concentrations in PM10 filters and the needles in the city of Quito, Ecuador. The study showed that natural emissions dominated the metal composition in both PM10 filters and needles, while anthropogenic emissions contributed to minor metals. The research not only provided insights into the concentrations of PM10 and metals in Quito, but also advanced the study on using Araucaria heterophylla needles as a biomonitor.
