... With changes in energy and land use including urbanization and developments of green areas within urban zones, the formation and composition of fine particulate matter, including ultrafine particles, that affect air quality and human health have been changing. A decade ago, aerosol mass spectrometer measurements showed that the contribution of organic matter to fine particulate composition is at least as important as sulfate in the Northern Hemisphere (Jimenez et al., 2009)
