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)The 2020 COVID-19 crisis caused an unprecedented drop in anthropogenic emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases. Given that emissions estimates from official national inventories for the year 2020 were not reported until 2 years later, new and non-traditional datasets to estimate near-real-time emissions became particularly relevant and...article 2023

(author)Emission inventories are a critical basis for air quality and climate modeling, as well as policy decisions. Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) are key precursor compounds in ozone and secondary organic aerosol formation. Accurately representing NMVOCs in emission inventories is crucial for understanding atmospheric chemistry, the...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

Jacobs, P. (author)An important precondition for accurately measuring with optical particle counters indoor is that the particulate matter particle size distribution coincides well with that from outside air. It is known from several studies (O'Leary 2018, Singer 2018) that particle counters underestimate the concentration of PM2.5 particulate matter by a factor...conference paper 2022

Jacobs, P. (author), Khoury, E. (author), Klerk, M. (author), Valkema, M. (author)We have developed a ventilation system to tackle indoor climate problems in existing schools. Core of the system is an balanced ventilation system with heat recovery. The heat exchanger is also used for indirect adiabatic cooling. For filtering a high efficiency and low pressure drop electrostatic filtration system has been developed. The...conference paper 2022

(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.
