Semi-continuous measurements of organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) and continuous measurements of black carbon (BC) and PM<Subscript>2.5</Subscript> aerosols were conducted simultaneously during the winter period of 2010–2011 at Delhi, one of the polluted urban megacities in western part of the...</subscript>

Temporal variation of PM<Subscript>10</Subscript> using 2-year data (January, 2007–December, 2008) of Delhi is presented. PM<Subscript>10</Subscript> varied from 42 to 200 μg m<Superscript>−3</Superscript> over January to December, with an average 114.1 ± 81.1 μg m<Superscript>−3</Superscript>. They are comparable with the data collected by Central Pollution Control Board...</superscript></superscript></subscript></subscript>

Black carbon (BC) aerosols are emitted into the atmosphere as a byproduct of different combustion processes and are reported to be a very strong absorber of solar radiation. In this paper, we present results on BC aerosols over Pune, a tropical urban city in south west India during Diwali...
