The Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO): Overview of pilot measurements on eco...
Andreae, Meinrat O.; Acevedo, Otávio C.; Araüjo, Alessandro Carioca de; Artaxo, Paulo; Barbosa, Cybelli G.G.; Barbosa, H. M. J.; Brito, Joel F.The Amazon Basin plays key roles in the carbon and water cycles, climate change, atmospheric chemistry, and biodiversity. It has already been changed significantly by human activities, and more pervasive change is expected to occur in the coming decades. It is therefore essential to establish long-term measurement sites that provide a baseline record of present-day climatic, biogeochemical, and atmospheric cond...
Molecular composition of organic aerosols in central Amazonia: An ultra-high-re...
Kourtchev, Ivan N.; Godoi, Ricardo Henrique Moreton; Connors, Sarah; Levine, James G.; Archibald, Alexander Thomas; Godoi, Ana Flávia LocateliThe Amazon Basin plays key role in atmospheric chemistry, biodiversity and climate change. In this study we applied nanoelectrospray (nanoESI) ultra-high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHRMS) for the analysis of the organic fraction of PM2.5 aerosol samples collected during dry and wet seasons at a site in central Amazonia receiving background air masses, biomass burning and urban pollution. Comprehensive mass s...
The influence that different urban development models has on PM2.5 elemental an...
Polezer, Gabriela; Oliveira, Andrea S.; Potgieter-Vermaak, Sanja; Godoi, Ana Flávia Locateli; Souza, Rodrigo Augusto Ferreira de; Yamamoto, Carlos ItsuoLimited studies have reported on in-vitro analysis of PM2.5 but as far as the authors are aware, bioaccessibility of PM2.5 in artificial lysosomal fluid (ALF) has not been linked to urban development models before. The Brazilian cities Manaus (Amazon) and Curitiba (South region) have different geographical locations, climates, and urban development strategies. Manaus drives its industrialization using the free ...
