A human lung model system for studies of nano-particle exposure
Period: 1/1/09 - 12/31/09
Aerobiology, a factor in environmental change
Period: 1/1/09 - 12/31/10
Airborne microorganisms have been known for centuries, but still there are almost no available data on the number of bacteria, fungi and algae in the atmosphere nor any adequate estimates of the fraction of live microorganisms. We identify a number of environmental change scenarios that call for ...
Aerosol Formation and Convective Clouds
Period: 1/1/11 - 12/31/13
The aim of the proposed project is to study new particle formation associated with convective clouds with special focus on tropical environment. Convective clouds are known to be an important source of aerosol particles, but understanding of this process is virtually missing compared to new ...
Airborne pollen allergens - their size distribution and transportation into indoor air
Period: 1/1/06 - 12/31/08
The number of people suffering from asthma, allergy and hypersensitivity has reached alarmingly high levels in Sweden and other western countries, and pollens belong to the most troublesome allergens. Recent research has indicated that certain weather conditions, particularly light rainfall, cause ...
Amazonian Biosphere-Atmosphere Aerosol Fluxes in view of their potential control of cloud properties and climate
Period: 1/1/06 - 12/31/07
Amazonian vegetation impacts on aerosols and clouds
Period: 1/1/10 - 12/31/12
We propose to directly measure how vegetation in the Amazon Basin controls cloud properties and how this natural state is perturbed by changes in land use and biomass burning. We will perform measurements from a research aircraft to determine aerosol/cloud interactions over the tropical rainforest. ...
Anthropogenic Effect on Natural Cloud Properties
Period: 1/1/08 - 12/31/10
The overall aim of the project is to study aerosol-cloud interactions in persistent stratocumulus cloud deck surrounding coastal region of northern Chile. It is of the best natural laboratories available, where aerosol-cloud interactions in natural and anthropogenicaly influenced air masses can be ...
Assessment of the European terrestrial carbon balance
Period: 1/1/04 - 12/31/08
The overarching aim of the CarboEurope-IP is to understand, quantify and predict the terrestrial carbon balance of Europe and the uncertainty at local, regional and continental scale. This is achieved by (1) executing a strategically focussed set of surface based ecological measurements of carbon ...
Atmospheric Composition Change: a European Network
Period: 3/1/04 - 2/28/09
Changes in atmospheric composition directly affect many aspects of life, determining climate, air quality and atmospheric inputs to ecosystems. In turn, these changes affect the fundamental necessities for human existence: human health, food production, ecosystem health and water. Atmospheric ...
Atmospheric gas-aerosol interactions: Improved description of ultrafine aerosol growth in climate and air quality models
Period: 1/1/12 - 12/31/15
