Black Carbon (BC) is one of the most significant ingredient of atmospheric fine particle matter which is a global climate, air quality and human health concern. A precise and accurate determination of both the concentration and source contribution of BC in air particulate samples is very important and can provide key information for environmental management regulators and researchers. BC is typically formed through the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuel, and biomass, and is emitted in anthropogenic and...

The rapid development and industrialization in recent years have posed a great challenge to the environment and air quality due to the increased anthropogenic emissions of particulate matter. Both PM2.5 and PM10 (particulates with aerodynamic diameters equal or less than 2.5 and 10 ?m, respectively) have become the forefront focus due to their adverse effect on human health and climate. Therefore, the assessment of chemical composition of PM2.5 and PM10 defining in general their toxicity and its correlation with m...
