The challenges faced by the atmospheric research community today are vast, complex, and multi-faceted. The book Urban Atmospheric Aerosols: Sources, Analysis, and Effects highlights important aspects concerning the chemical and optical properties, size distribution, sources, and potential health effects of fine urban air particles (PM2.5). The physical and chemical characterization of PM2.5, its source assignment, and the assessment of the magnitude and distribution of its emissions are crucial for establishing effective fine air particle regulations and assessing the associated risks to human health. This book brings together eight papers covering the main topics of the field and will be of interest to researchers who are interested in air quality in outdoor and indoor environments, air particle toxicity, and atmospheric chemistry, as well as global climate modelers.

Research & information: general --- Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit --- PM2.5 --- trace elements --- source apportionment --- aerosol optical depth MODIS --- urbanization --- DEM --- spearman rank correlation --- organic aerosol --- water-soluble ions --- organic nitrogen --- aerosol mass spectrometry --- MODIS aerosol product --- Collection 6.1 --- heavy aerosol loading --- AERONET --- submicron --- coarse --- modal structure --- meteorological effect --- particle number size distribution --- seasonal --- diurnal --- resuspension --- household dust --- PM10 --- organic and elemental carbon --- phthalic acid esters --- polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons --- atmospheric particle-bound mercury --- atmospheric particulate matter --- sources contributions --- Atlantic coastal European region --- toxicity prediction --- urban atmospheric aerosols --- primary organic aerosols --- secondary organic aerosols --- chemical composition --- toxic elements --- particle size characterization --- urban air quality --- indoor air pollution

This book brings together the results of field, experimental, and modeling studies related to road dust and its various size fractions as a key issue in understanding the relationships between several urban and industrial environments, and in the identification of pollution sources. The book is intended for professionals, researchers, and academicians who want to learn about new research findings regarding the chemical composition of road dust and its source, assessments of road dust and aerosol pollution levels (including express technique), environmental hazards and public health risks, the distribution of stable and radioactive isotopes in road dust, the determination of factors affecting the level of dust accumulation on roads and the intensity of its pollution, and the effect of road dust on the atmosphere and other environments. The book also provides data on some of the current challenges in studying road dust, including various aspects of the formation, transport pathways, and accumulation of road dust in urban, industrial and other areas.

Research & information: general --- Environmental economics --- Pollution control --- urban sediment --- urban landscape --- sediment transport --- municipal service --- earthworks --- environmental management --- potentially toxic metal --- road dust --- industrial area --- pollution assessment --- ecological risk --- heavy metals --- Mexico City --- urban pollution --- urban form --- color indices --- redness --- hue --- saturation --- lead --- pollution --- gross alpha activity --- gross beta activity urban environment --- sediment --- size fraction --- urban environment --- residential area --- urban surface deposited sediments --- technogenic particles --- slag --- spherules --- microplastic --- plaster --- urban dust --- metal concentration --- multi-stable isotopes (13C, 207/206Pb) --- contamination assessment --- source identification --- particulate matter --- source apportionment analysis --- health risk assessment --- Huludao --- PM10 --- dust resuspension --- sediment load --- non-exhaust emissions --- chemical profile --- enrichment factors --- Colombia --- geo-accumulation index --- inhalation --- resuspension --- cancer --- fugitive dust --- unpaved roads --- emission factors --- paved roads --- emission rates --- metals --- street dust --- enrichment factor --- Vietnam --- ultrafine particles --- UFP --- aerosolization --- incidental nanoparticles --- air pollution --- dry sieving --- human health risk --- exposure --- optical analysis --- Western Siberia --- potentially toxic elements --- traffic-related contamination --- road dust and road pavement --- particle size distribution --- source apportionment --- environmental interactions --- toxic elements and compounds --- nanoparticles and microplastic --- spatial variation and modeling --- health and ecological risks --- mitigation strategies

The phenomenon of soil–structure interactions in marine environments has attracted great attention from coastal geotechnical engineers in recent years. One of the reasons for the growing interest is the rapid development of marine resources (such as in the oil and gas industry, marine renewable energy, and fish farming industry) as well as the damage to marine infrastructure that has occurred in the last two decades. To assist practical engineers in the design and planning of coastal geotechnical projects, a better understanding of the mechanisms of soil–structure interactions in marine environments is desired. This Special Issue reports the recent advances in the problems of structure–seabed interactions in marine environment and provides practical engineers and researchers with information on recent developments in this field.
