The ratio of concentration of organic carbon and elemental carbon bound to particulate matter in ambient air: a global systematic review and meta-analysis
Four hundred and sixty-six references with 625 data reports were included in our study. The high frequency of ratio OC/EC for PM was observed in 3.92-5.93; PM in 1.08-3.08; PM , 2.08-4.08; PM in 2.70-4.70 and TSP in 2.66-4.66. The rank order of areas based on the pooled concentration of OC bound to...

| Summary: | Four hundred and sixty-six references with 625 data reports were included in our study. The high frequency of ratio OC/EC for PM
was observed in 3.92-5.93; PM
in 1.08-3.08; PM
, 2.08-4.08; PM
in 2.70-4.70 and TSP in 2.66-4.66. The rank order of areas based on the pooled concentration of OC bound to PM
was traffic (17.893 µg/m
) > industrial (10.58 µg/m
) > urban (7.696 µg/m
) > rural (4.08 µg/m
). The rank order of areas based on the pooled (mean) concentration of EC in PM
was traffic (17.893 µg/m
) > industrial (2.65 µg/m
) > Urban (1.48 µg/m
) > rural (1.06 µg/m
). The pooled concentrations of OC and EC bound to PM
in traffic areas were higher than in other areas. Therefore, it is recommended that monitoring and effectively reducing concentration plans are carried out, especially in traffic areas. |
