Modeling Transition Metals in East Asia and Japan and Its Emission Sources.

Emission inventories of anthropogenic transition metals, which contribute to aerosol oxidative potential (OP), in Asia (Δ = 0.25°, monthly, 2000-2008) and Japan (Δ = 2 km, hourly, mainly 2012) were developed, based on bottom-up inventories of particulate matters and metal profiles in a speciation database for particulate matters. The new inventories are named Transition Metal Inventory (TMI)-Asia v1.
