Article Synopsis
- The study measured air quality in Rome from January 2016 to January 2017, focusing on pollutants such as carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter (PM).
- Maximum pollutant concentrations occurred in December, with high atmospheric stability impacting readings, while photochemical smog episodes were noted in June and September.
- Analysis revealed that vehicular traffic significantly influenced the presence of aromatic hydrocarbons, and the physico-chemical characterization of PM indicated a mix of natural and anthropogenic particles, prominently from vehicle exhaust and heating systems.
Two-years of fine and ultrafine particles measurements in Rome, Italy.

February 2007
Long-term aerosol measurements have been conducted at two sites in Rome, Italy, April 2001 through March 2003, in a traffic-oriented site, and at an urban background site, close to the city center. The main objective was to establish validated and consistent data sets of particle number concentrations (PNC) in Rome to be used for epidemiological analyses of cardiovascular health effects. Particle number concentrations were measured by a condensation particle counter (CPC 3022A, TSI).
