Abstract Combustion-derived black carbon (BC) aerosols accelerate glacier melting in the Himalayas and Tibet (the Third Pole (TP)), thereby limiting sustainable freshwater supplies for billions of people. However, sources BC reaching TP remain uncertain, hindering both process understanding efficient mitigation. Here we present source-diagnostic Δ 14 C/δ 13 C compositions isolated from aerosol snowpit samples TP. For Himalayas, found equal contributions fossil fuel (46±11%) biomass (54±11%)...
Abstract Organic aerosol (OA) constitutes a substantial fraction of fine particles and affects both human health climate. It is becoming clear that OA absorbs light substantially (hence termed Brown Carbon, BrC), adding uncertainties to global radiative forcing estimations. The few current radiative-transfer chemical-transport models include BrC primarily consider sources from biogenic biomass combustion. However, radiocarbon fingerprinting here clearly indicates light-absorbing organic...
The dual carbon isotope signatures and optical properties of carbonaceous aerosols have been investigated simultaneously for the first time in South Asian outflow during an intensive campaign at Maldives Climate Observatory on Hanimaadhoo (MCOH) (February March 2012). As one component Cloud Aerosol Radiative Forcing Dynamics Experiment, this paper reports sources atmospheric processing elemental (EC) water-soluble organic (WSOC) as examined by a approach. radiocarbon (Δ14C) data show that...
This paper reports the first study applying a triple-isotope approach for source apportionment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The 13C/12C, 14C/12C, and 2H/1H isotope ratios PAHs were determined in forest soils from mountainous areas Czech Republic, European Union. Statistical modeling Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) framework to environmental triple PAH data an end-member database allowed comprehensive accounting uncertainties quantitative constraints on sources among...
Increasing water consumption, industrial pollution, and long dry periods – these are all resource challenges that highlight the growing importance of transition towards a circular economy for soil-sediment-water system. As described by European Green Deal call, pollution persistent, mobile potentially toxic (PM(T)) substances is often systemic problem. It related to ways production, use, emission chemicals aggravated missing technical solutions monitoring techniques in This poses...
Black carbon (BC) aerosols impact climate and air quality. Since BC from fossil versus biomass combustion have different optical properties abilities to penetrate the lungs, it is important better understand their relative contributions in strongly affected regions such as South Asia. This study reports first year-round 14C-based source apportionment of elemental (EC), mass-based correspondent BC, using regional receptor sites international Maldives Climate Observatory Hanimaadhoo (MCOH)...
Abstract. A detailed analysis of optical and microphysical properties aerosol particles during the dry winter monsoon season above northern Indian Ocean is presented. The Cloud Aerosol Radiative Forcing Experiment (CARDEX), conducted from 16 February to 30 March 2012 at Maldives Climate Observatory on Hanimaadhoo island (MCOH) in Republic Maldives, used autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (AUAV) perform vertical situ measurements particle number concentration, size distribution as well...
The wine industry produces large quantities of wastewater that often contains high levels organic matter and nutrients, like nitrogen phosphorous. In particular, pollution can be harmful, even at low levels, since infants are vulnerable to nitrates in drinking water, excess harm the health soils waterways. Herein, an innovative compact, modular, mobile treatment wetland (TW) using cork by product as only granular media was used treat final effluents from Codorniu winery (Sant Sadurní...
Industrial chlorinated solvents continue to be among the most significant issues in groundwater (GW) pollution worldwide. This study assesses effectiveness of eight novel oxidation treatments, including persulfate (PS), ferrous sulfate, sulfidated nano-zero valent iron (S-nZVI), and potassium ferrate, along with their combinations, for potential situ remediation GW polluted (1,2-dichloroethylene, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene). Our bench-scale results reveal that combined addition...
