Measurements of ambient aerosol particles at the University León, Spain, were made in May and June 2015 with a Wideband Integrated Bioaerosol Spectrometer (WIBS). The WIBS detects Fluorescing Aerosol Particles (FAP) size range from 0.5 to 20 μm. These measurements complemented an analysis pollen concentrations assessed optical microscopy samples captured volumetric Hirst spore trap. total particle, FAP show clear, daily cycles. Whereas particle maximize 0800 2200 UTC, have peaks midnight UTC...
Alternaria spores are a common component of the bioaerosol. Many species plant pathogens, and their conidia catalogued as important aeroallergens. Several aerobiological studies showing strong relationship between concentrations airborne spore meteorological parameters have consequently been developed. However, load variation has not thoroughly investigated because it is difficult to assess sources, they very widely established phytopathogen. The objective this study estimate impact...
Below‐cloud aerosol scavenging is an important process to remove particles from the atmosphere. In this study, both precipitation (measured with a laser disdrometer registering drops between 0.125 and 8 mm) atmospheric Passive Cavity Aerosol Spectrometer Probe sizes 0.1 24 µm) have been sampled on 1 min basis. Based 6 months of outdoor measurements in León (northwest Iberian Peninsula), coefficients were calculated for measured, mean value 2.6 × 10 −5 ± 6.0 s −1 fine mode 5.8 9.6 coarse 54...
Abstract. Measurements during episodes of African dust, made with two wideband integrated bioaerosol spectrometers (WIBSs), one on the northeastern coast Puerto Rico and other in city León, Spain, show unmistakable, bioaerosol-like fluorescing aerosol particles (FAPs) that can be associated these dust episodes. The event occurred a major incursion June 2020. León late winter spring 2022, when widespread, elevated layers inundated Iberian Peninsula. Satellite back-trajectory analyses confirm...
The use of frequencies well into the extra high frequency (EHF) band (30–300 GHz) is a key element in 5G and beyond technologies. Rain attenuation major impairment affecting terrestrial radio links this band. In absence enough experimental measurements, rain can be estimated by using physical models radiowave scattering raindrops combined with information about raindrop size distributions (DSD). work, characterization 80–200 GHz range carried out from large database 12 years DSD gathered...
Residential dust is recognized as a major source of environmental contaminants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and plasticizers, such phthalic acid esters (PAEs). A sampling campaign was carried out to characterize the fraction particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 10 µm (PM10), using in situ resuspension chamber three rooms (kitchen, living room, bedroom) four Spanish houses. Two samples per room were collected with, at least, one-week interval. The...
This study focuses on the analysis of distribution, both spatial and temporal, PM10 (particulate matter with a diameter 10 µm or less) concentrations recorded in nine EMEP (European Monitoring Evaluation Programme) background stations distributed throughout mainland Spain between 2001 2019. A hierarchical clusters was used to classify into three main groups similarities yearly concentrations: GC (coastal location), GNC (north-central GSE (southeastern location). The highest were registered...
