The December 2016 extreme weather and particulate matter pollution episode in the Paris region (France)

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

The intense December 2016 particulate pollution episode in the Paris region was driven by exceptional stagnant weather conditions, with particles primarily composed of local organic matter and traffic-related nitrates that exhibited significant oxidative potential. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Abstract

• Study of an intense winter episode of particulate pollution in the Paris region. • Exceptional stagnant conditions explain the highest concentrations. • Organic matter of local origin dominates the chemical composition of the particles with also a strong nitrate component from traffic. • Significant values of oxidative potential are observed.
