Measurement of atmospheric black carbon in some South Mediterranean cities

Abstract: This study aims to investigate, for the first time in Algeria, the atmospheric black carbon (BC) concentrations over one year measured at the Scientific Observatory of Algiers and to compare their concentration levels with other Mediterranean cities (i.e., Athens and Crete). The diurnal cycles as well as seasonal variations of BC concentrations were evaluated and attributed to their emission sources (fossil fuel: BCff and wood burning: BCwb). The annual mean concentrations of BC, BCff and BCwb were 1.113±2.030… Show more

“…In the past few years, several studies have addressed different aspects of atmospheric aerosols in the African side of the Mediterranean region, such as spatio-temporal variations [23][24][25], chemical characterization [11,26,27], and aerosol transport pathways [28][29][30][31]. However, regarding studies on both the western and eastern Mediterranean, the southwestern (SW) Mediterranean is relatively understudied with a clear lack of investigations addressing chemical characterization.…”
