The paper analyzes the composition of surface aerosol close to the local intense anthropogenic source of pollution associated with the active phase of demolition of multistorey buildings in the center of Moscow. An abnormal increase in the daytime PM10 aerosol particle concentration to 5 MPC for daily values and to 14 MPC for maximum single values was reinforced by unfavorable meteorological conditions in the middle of July 2021. Preliminary estimation of the power of the dust aerosol source and its effect on the aerosol air pollution in nearby areas of the city is performed. The extreme and background values of the aerosol mass concentration, its elemental composition and particle size distribution during this period are determined. It is necessary to take into account such point pollutant sources in estimating and forecasting environmental conditions in a densely populated city.

General Association

The dependence of the atmospheric extinction on aerosols concentration, temperature and wind speed is demonstrated. The atmospheric extinction was determined by measuring the transmission loss of radiation from alight source across 36 cm path with a photocell detector Conclusion include a general association of high extinction with high aerosols concentration, temperature and wind speed, but there are no one-to-one relationships. A correlation study between the extinction coefficient and each of these parameters was performed.

Aerosol Types

Aerosol vertical profiles are valuable inputs for the evaluation of aerosol transport models, in order to improve the understanding of aerosol pollution ventilation processes which drive the dispersion of pollutants in mountainous regions. With the aim of providing high-accuracy vertical distributions of particle mass concentration for the study of aerosol dispersion in small-scale valleys, vertical profiles of aerosol mass concentration for aerosols from different sources (including Saharan dust and local biomass burning events) were investigated over the Vipava valley, Slovenia, a representative hot-spot for complex mixtures of different aerosol types of both anthropogenic and natural origin. The analysis was based on datasets taken between 1–30 April 2016. In-situ measurements of aerosol size, absorption, and mass concentration were combined with lidar remote sensing, where vertical profiles of aerosol concentration were retrieved. Aerosol samples were characterized by SEM-EDX, to obtain aerosol morphology and chemical composition. Two cases with expected dominant presence of different specific aerosol types (mineral dust and biomass-burning aerosols) show significantly different aerosol properties and distributions within the valley. In the mineral dust case, we observed a decrease of the elevated aerosol layer height and subsequent spreading of mineral dust within the valley, while in the biomass-burning case we observed the lifting of aerosols above the planetary boundary layer (PBL). All uncertainties of size and assumed optical properties, combined, amount to the total uncertainty of aerosol mass concentrations below 30% within the valley. We have also identified the most indicative in-situ parameters for identification of aerosol type.

<p>A three-month experiment (June-August 2019) had been carried out on the undulating terrain of the Taklimakan Desert. The mass concentration characteristics of PM<sub>2.5</sub> and PM<sub>10</sub> at different locations of the sand ridge were obtained, studying the correlation between dust aerosol mass concentration and meteorological factors under different weather conditions. The results show that: (1) There are differences about the concentration of PM<sub>2.5</sub> and PM<sub>10</sub> in different locations of sand ridges under different typical weather conditions. The average mass concentration of PM<sub>2.5</sub> on sunny days meets: West Low Site > East Low Site > High Site, According to the dynamic  characteristic of PM<sub>10</sub>, peak-valley value of the three stations fluctuated sharply, and the daily average value of mass concentration shows: High Site > East Low Site > West Low Site. When the sand blowing and floating weather occurred, the variation of PM<sub>2.5</sub> mass concentration meet the following rule: East Low Site > High Site, PM<sub>10</sub> shows the opposite law. When the first sandstorm occurs, the PM<sub>2.5</sub> mass concentration satisfies the following Law: West Low Site 10 mass concentration change is generally expressed as: West Low Site 2.5 and PM<sub>10</sub> meets: West Low Site> High Site> East Low Site (2) Sunny Temperature、 Atmospheric Pressure, Relative Humidity of east low site, high site have a close correlation with PM<sub>2.5</sub>, PM<sub>10</sub><sub> </sub>Mass Concentrations, the wind speed of the west low site and the high site was significantly correlated with the PM<sub>2.5</sub> and PM<sub>10</sub> mass concentrations. When the dusty weather occurs, the wind speed has a significant effect on the mass concentration of dust aerosol in the high site, and there is a significant positive correlation between the atmospheric pressure and the aerosol mass concentration in the east low site or high site. During the sand-dust weather , the PM<sub>2.5</sub> and PM<sub>10</sub> mass concentrations were significantly negatively correlated with the atmospheric pressure in the high sand dunes, the correlation between wind speed and the PM<sub>2.5</sub> and PM<sub>10</sub> mass concentrations was greater than the East low Site. During the sandstorm, atmospheric pressure and temperature have a significant effect on the mass concentration of PM<sub>2.5</sub> and PM<sub>10.</sub></p>
