Long-term assessment of aerosol chemical composition in the interior of South Africa

Maritz, Petra (North-West University (South Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2019)

The impacts of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) are co-determined by chemical composition. PM with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5) typically contains a significant fraction of organic- (OC), elemental carbon (EC), ...
Spatial and temporal assessment of atmospheric organic carbon and black carbon concentrations at South African DEBITS sites

Maritz, P (2014)

The baseline of uncertainty in aerosol radiative forcing is large and depends on aerosol characteristics (e.g. size and composition), which can vary significantly on a regional scale. Sources (natural and anthropogenic) ...
Temporal and source assessments of organic and elemental carbon at sites in the northern South African interior

Maritz, Petra; Beukes, Johan P.; Van Zyl, Pieter G.; Liousse, Catherine; Gardrat, Eric (Springer, 2019)

Particulate matter (PM) can affect climate, air quality, human health, acid deposition and visibility, and contain a significant fraction of organic (OC) and elemental carbon (EC). Southern Africa is an important source ...
