UK Particulate EMP
Summary
The research analyzes particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and their chemical components at two UK EMEP 'supersites' in Harwell and Auchencorth Moss. By integrating statistical analysis of measurements with air-mass back trajectory data, the study characterizes the 'chemical climate' and the contributions of different concentrations, months, components, and geographic regions to long-term health-relevant PM metrics. The findings indicate that there is no single dominant determinant of long-term PM metrics, meaning effective mitigation requires multilateral action across various source sectors and both national and international levels.
Key insights
- The study concludes that mitigating long-term health-relevant particulate matter requires a multilateral approach across different species and source sectors, both nationally and internationally, because no single dominant determinant of the PM metrics exists for targeting.
