UK Particulate EMP

This research paper quantifies the conditions contributing to annual average PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations at two UK EMEP 'supersites' to inform mitigation strategies for long-term human health burdens.

• The study utilizes concurrent measurements of PM10, PM2.5, and various components—including carbonaceous, heavy metal, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, and speciated water-soluble inorganic elements—at two UK European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) 'supersites' located at Harwell in SE England and Auchencorth Moss in SE Scotland. These measurements are combined with air-mass back trajectory data to analyze the 'chemical climate' and determine contributions from specific geographic regions, components, months, and PM concentrations.
• The analysis concludes that there is no single dominant determinant of long-term PM metrics to target for mitigation. Effective reduction of long-term health-relevant PM requires multilateral action that spans different species, source sectors, and occurs at both national and international levels.
