Investigation of aerosol trace element concentrations nearby Algiers for environmental monitoring using instrumental neutron activation analysis

“…The mean value of Fe is more than 780 times higher than in Copenhagen, but 3 times lower than in Mombay (India), Algiers (Algeria) (Belamri et al, 2009), Seville (Spain) (Enamorado-Báez et al, 2015) and Pristina (Cosovo) (Arditsoglou and Samara., 2005) and 2 times lower than in Turin (Italy) (Malandrino et al, 2013). For Cr, the mean value was found to be similar to that measured at Seville (Spain) (Enamorado-Báez et al, 2015) but 451 times lower than in Copenhagen and 25 lower than in Algiers in a previous study.…”

“…A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T Arditsoglou and Samara., 2005b Enamorado-Báez et al, 2015c Belamri et al, 2009d Anoop et al, 2007e Bandhu et al, 2000f Malandrino et al, 2013 It is clear from the results provided in Table 5 that concentrations levels in Draria city are lower than those measured in other regions; the exception being the values of Zn and Fe at Copenhagen (Denmark) (Anoop et al, 2007). The mean value of Fe is more than 780 times higher than in Copenhagen, but 3 times lower than in Mombay (India), Algiers (Algeria) (Belamri et al, 2009), Seville (Spain) (Enamorado-Báez et al, 2015) and Pristina (Cosovo) (Arditsoglou and Samara., 2005) and 2 times lower than in Turin (Italy) (Malandrino et al, 2013).…”

An In Vitro alveolar macrophage assay for the assessment of inflammatory cytokine expression induced by atmospheric particulate matter

“…Furthermore, clustering can be used to distinguish the impact of exposure duration on gene expression profiles (Sun et al, ) and may reveal information about the functions of genes for which no previous information was available (Eisen et al, ; Gu et al, ). This analysis can also be used to improve identification of sources contributing to PM exposure (Hu et al, ; Malandrino et al, ), and may enable a more precise assessment of the risk of PM‐induced health effects when applied to gene expression data.…”

Elemental Spatiotemporal Variations of Total Suspended Particles in Jeddah City

“…Many authors reported increased PM elemental concentrations in winter with lowest reported levels in summer. Reasons for the winter increase include increased energy consumption, thermal inversion that occurs in winter [12], and stronger winds [17]. In some regions, summer concentrations are higher.…”

“…In this study, two major sources of metals in PM were identified, resuspension from soil and vehicular emissions [11]. Malandrino et al observed temporal trends of 15 elements over a long period in Turin, Italy [12]. In India, Basha et al assessed heavy metal content of TSP of a coastal industrial town [13].…”
