Temporal variations of atmospheric aerosol in four European urban areas (original) (raw)
2011, Environmental Science and Pollution Research
Purpose The concentrations of PM 10 mass, PM 2.5 mass and particle number were continuously measured for 18 months in urban background locations across Europe to determine the spatial and temporal variability of particulate matter. Methods Daily PM 10 and PM 2.5 samples were continuously collected from October 2002 to April 2004 in background areas in Helsinki, Athens, Amsterdam and Birmingham. Particle mass was determined using analytical microbalances with precision of 1 μg. Pre-and post-reflectance measurements were taken using smoke-stain reflectometers.
