Source Apportionment of Human Exposure to Particulates in Mumbai, India

Source Apportionment of PM10 by Positive Matrix Factorization in Urban Area of Mumbai, India

Particulate Matter (PM(10)) has been one of the main air pollutants exceeding the ambient standards in most of the major cities in India. During last few years, receptor models such as Chemical Mass Balance, Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF), PCA-APCS and UNMIX have been used to provide solutions to the source identification and contributions which are accepted for developing effective and ef...

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Bound to PM 2.5 in Urban Coimbatore, India with Emphasis on Source Apportionment

Coimbatore is one of the fast growing industrial cities of Southern India with an urban population of 1.9 million. This study attempts to evaluate the trends of airborne fine particulates (PM 2.5) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) on them. The PM 2.5 mass was collected in polytetra fluoroethylene filters using fine particulate sampler at monthly intervals during March 2009 to February 2010. P...

Source apportionment of exposure to toxic volatile organic compounds using positive matrix factorizationSource apportionment of exposure to toxic volatile organic compounds using positive matrix factorization

Data from the Total Exposure Assessment Methodology studies, conducted from 1980 to 1987 in New Jersey (NJ ) and California (CA) , and the 1990 California Indoor Exposure study were analyzed using positive matrix factorization, a receptor -oriented source apportionment model. Personal exposure and outdoor concentrations of 14 and 17 toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were studied from the ...
