PM sub(10) source apportionment in a Swiss Alpine valley impacted by highway traffic

Although trans-Alpine highway traffic exhaust is one of the major sources of air pollution along the highway valleys of the Alpine regions, little is known about its contribution to residential exposure and impact on respiratory health. In this paper, source-specific contributions to particulate mat...
