Using Citizen Science to Manage Odour Emissions in National IED Plants: A Systematic Review of the Scientific Literature

Mauro, Francesca; Borghesi, Roberto

2024 Atmosphere

doi:10.3390/atmos15030302

The potential of citizen science to address complex issues has been recognized since the 1990s. However, the systematic integration of public opinion in research has been developed only recently, thanks to the spread of questionnaire web-based surveys and artificial intelligence techniques for...

Using Diverse Data Sources to Impute Missing Air Quality Data Collected in a Resource-Limited Setting

Kebalepile, Moses Mogakolodi; Dzikiti, Loveness Nyaradzo; Voyi, Kuku

2024 Atmosphere

doi:10.3390/atmos15030303

The sustainable operation of ambient air quality monitoring stations in developing countries is not always possible. Intermittent failures and breakdowns at air quality monitoring stations often affect the continuous measurement of data as required. These failures and breakdowns result in missing...

A Smoke Chamber Study on Some Low-Cost Sensors for Monitoring Size-Segregated Aerosol and Microclimatic Parameters

Bencs, László; Nagy, Attila

2024 Atmosphere

doi:10.3390/atmos15030304

Low-cost sensors (LCSs) of Geekcreit PM1/PM2.5/PM10 (based on a PMS5003 sampler) and BOHU BH-1 models A3 and B3 (based on a Pando G7 sampler) were compared for different aerosol size ranges using a research-grade instrument (Grimm 1.109) under controlled laboratory conditions. An aerosol...

Evaluation of Surrogate Aerosol Experiments to Predict Spreading and Removal of Virus-Laden Aerosols

Beimdiek, Janis; Schmid, Hans-Joachim

2024 Atmosphere

doi:10.3390/atmos15030305

Estimating the infection risks of indoor environments comprises the assessment of the behavior of virus-laden aerosols, i.e., their spreading, mixing, removal by air purifiers, etc. A promising experimental approach is based on using non-hazardous surrogate aerosols of a similar size, e.g., salt...

Examination of the Influence of Alternative Fuels on Particulate Matter Properties Emitted from a Non-Proprietary Combustor

Smith, Liam D.; Harper, Joseph; Durand, Eliot; Crayford, Andrew; Johnson, Mark;

2024 Atmosphere

doi:10.3390/atmos15030308

The aviation sector, like most other sectors, is moving towards becoming net zero. In the medium to long term, this will mean an increase in the use of sustainable aviation fuels. Research exists on the impact of fuel composition on non-volatile particulate matter (nvPM) emissions. However, there...

Inter-Comparison of Lightning Measurements in Quasi-Linear Convective Systems

Ringhausen, Jacquelyn; Chmielewski, Vanna; Calhoun, Kristin

2024 Atmosphere

doi:10.3390/atmos15030309

Data from four lightning networks collected during three quasi-linear convective systems (QLCS) are used to understand the differences in detection for optimizing their combined use. Additionally, using unique aspects from each network provides a more complete picture of lightning in a...

Thunderstorms Near the North Pole

Popykina, Alena; Ilin, Nikolay; Shatalina, Maria; Price, Colin; Sarafanov, Fedor;

2024 Atmosphere

doi:10.3390/atmos15030310

In recent years, there has been a notable surge in lightning events within the Arctic region. This is possibly due to the ongoing trend of global warming that is particularly pronounced in the Arctic. This study focuses on instances of rare lightning activity in the proximity to the North Pole in...
