Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed the organic components of fine particulate matter collected in urban Cairo over two months, highlighting the area's severe pollution levels.
- Key findings included significant contributions from cooking (31%) and biomass burning (18%), with newly identified pollutants such as phthalates linked to open waste burning.
- The research used advanced methods to determine the sources of organic carbon and assessed the associated uncertainties, providing insights into urban air quality and pollution sources in one of the world's most polluted cities.
This study aimed to evaluate the oxidative potential (OP) of PM collected for almost a year in an urban area of the East Mediterranean. Two acellular assays, based on ascorbic acid (AA) and dithiothreitol (DTT) depletion, were used to measure the OP. The results showed that the mean volume normalized OP-AA value was 0.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFHexMe consists of 189 tetrahedral meshes with tagged features and a workflow to generate them. The primary purpose of HexMe meshes is to enable consistent and practically meaningful evaluation of hexahedral meshing algorithms and related techniques, specifically regarding the correct meshing of specified feature points, curves, and surfaces. The tetrahedral meshes have been generated with Gmsh, starting from 63 computer-aided design (CAD) models from various databases.
