Manders, A.M.M. (author), Ketzel, M. (author)Air quality in Europe has been considered an issue since the 1950s and has improved considerably over the past decades. Emissions in 2018 were reduced considerably as compared to 2005, with emission reductions of SOx of more than 50%, of NOx of about 40% and of PM10 of about 25%. Nowadays, many areas comply with the limit values of the European...bookPart 2023

Kranenburg, R. (author), Kuenen, J.J.P. (author)Shipping has a significant share in the emissions of air pollutants such as NOx and particulate matter (PM), and the global maritime transport volumes are projected to increase further in the future. The major route for short sea shipping within Europe and the main shipping route between Europe and East Asia are found in the Mediterranean Sea....article 2023

(author)Radon is an established lung carcinogen concentrating in indoor environments with importance for many workers worldwide. However, a systematic assessment of radon levels faced by all workers, not just those with direct uranium or radon exposure, has not previously been completed.

(author)Due to its serious health impact particulate matter is one of the air pollutants subject to abatement policies. Information on the main sources responsible for high concentrations of pollutants is therefore crucial to enable effective policy measures. In this study we compared two different methods for attribution of particulate matter...article 2022

(author)As cities are growing in size and complexity, the estimation of air pollution exposure requires a detailed spatial representation of air pollution levels, rather than homogenous fields, provided by global- or regional-scale models. A critical input for city-scale modeling is a timely and spatially resolved emission inventory. Bottom–up...article 2021

(author)Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported an error in the unit of the average emission metric (AEI). The AEI was incorrectly reported as nanograms (ng) toxic equivalency quotient (TEQ)/year in the abstract, methods, discussion, and Table 1. The correct unit is grams (g) TEQ/year. The authors apologize for this error.article 2021
