Using a mobile laboratory, M. Bauer et al. captured highly resolved spatial patterns of particulate matter across urban areas in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, revealing pollution levels and gradients that are invisible to fixed monitoring stations. The measurements show pronounced neighbourhood-scale variability and extreme wintertime pollution, reflecting the strong influence of local emission sources inContinue reading “Paper highlight: from mobile measurements to source apportionment – understanding air pollution in Sarajevo”

Featured research highlight: impact of COVID-19 related policies on air quality
G. Chen’s study about the impact of commercial cooking on air pollution has been featured in Nature Magazine’s Research Highlight! Their research shows that COVID-19 restrictions temporarily reduced PM1 pollution in London. However, when dining options such as “Eat Out to Help Out” encouraged restaurants to reopen, emissions from cooking increased significantly. To analyse thisContinue reading “Featured research highlight: impact of COVID-19 related policies on air quality”
New Publication: Real-Time Source Apportionment with SoFi RT using the AXA setup
We’re proud to share the newest publication introducing SoFi RT, which applies the novel AXA approach for total PM source apportionment: “Implementation of real-time source apportionment approaches using the ACSM–Xact–Aethalometer (AXA) setup with SoFi RT: the Athens case study”. This study marks the first-ever application of the AXA setup integrated with SoFi RT for real-timeContinue reading “New Publication: Real-Time Source Apportionment with SoFi RT using the AXA setup”
