Abstract
In the summer of 2023, comprehensive observations and analyses of water-soluble components in atmospheric aerosols (PM2.5 and TSP) were conducted over the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea. The study area was jointly influenced by terrestrial anthropogenic emissions and marine biological activities. The total water-soluble ion (WSI) concentrations averaged 4.09 ± 1.79 μg/m

Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is a complex atmospheric pollutant originating from multiple natural and anthropogenic sources. This pilot study investigates the chemical composition and potential source characteristics of PM 2.5 in urban Tirana, Albania, during two monitoring campaigns conducted in March–April 2024...
This study characterizes the chemical and optical properties of carbonaceous aerosols in urban Chiang Mai, Thailand, during an intensive monitoring period in March 2024. The campaign coincided with a strong El Niño event, resulting in extreme high temperatures and severe drought conditions. The mean PM2.5 concentration...

Atmospheric deposition in industrial basins of Central Asia is strongly influenced by local emissions and wintertime dispersion conditions. This study characterized snowpack at 63 sampling stations across Ust-Kamenogorsk, Kazakhstan, including operational background station 1, on 24–26 February 2025 after a 116-day acc...

The composition of particulate matter in lakes is considered a key indicator of underwater light-field dynamics and the proportion of organic matter. In this study, reflectance from Sentinel-3 OLCI (Ocean and Land Colour Instrument) imagery at 510, 560, and 620 nm was utilized to estimate the organic suspended matter...
