Chemical characteristics of size-resolved fog water at an urban site in Nanjing and the summit of Mt. Lu, East China

Understanding the influence of the bioaerosol source on the distribution of airborne bacteria in hospital indoor air

“…As shown in Table 1, the chemical composition of the aerosolized liquids is quite different, and it may explain a decrease in the droplet size when aerosolizing urban wastewater. Similarly, Zhang et al reported that the chemical composition of fog water was directly related to the droplet size since larger droplets (≥ 22 μm) contained higher Ca +2 concentration from soil sources whereas smaller droplets (4-16 μm) presented higher NO3and NH4 + concentrations due to industrial sources and vehicles (Zhang et al, 2021). Leena et al found that the aerosol chemical composition showed a higher sulphate and ammonium contribution during low aerosol loading days in Western Ghats (India) (Leena et al, 2022).…”
