Seasonal effects on the physico-chemical characteristics of PM2.1 in Rome: a study by SEM and XPS

A large body of epidemiological research has shown a significant statistical correlation between acute health effects and the fine fraction of urban particulate (PM2.5). There is still a wide debate over which characteristics of PM are responsible for the adverse health effects. The aim of this stud...

Zusammenfassung:	A large body of epidemiological research has shown a significant statistical correlation between acute health effects and the fine fraction of urban particulate (PM2.5). There is still a wide debate over which characteristics of PM are responsible for the adverse health effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate seasonal effects on the composition and physico-chemical characteristics of PM2.1 (particulate with aerodynamic diameter
