    Abstract Air pollution is considered the world's most important environmental and public health risk. The annual exposure for particulate matter (PM) in the northern Caribbean region of Colombia between 2011 and 2019 was determined using PM records from 25 monitoring stations located within the area. The impact of exposure to particulate matter was assessed through the updated Global Burden of Disease health risk functions using the AirQ+ model for mortality attributable to acute lower respiratory disease (in children ≤ 4 years); mortality in adults aged > 18 years old attributable to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ischaemic heart disease, lung cancer, and stroke; and all-cause post-neonatal infant mortality. The proportions of the prevalence of bronchitis in children and the incidence of chronic bronchitis in adults attributable to PM exposure were also estimated for the population at risk. Weather Research and Forecasting-California PUFF (WRF-CALPUFF) modeling systems were used to estimate the spatiotemporal trends and calculate mortality relative risk due to prolonged PM

    Abstract The restriction of mobility due to preventive social isolation has improved air quality in many regions of the world. At the same time, global and regional atmospheric phenomena such as biomass burning or dust transport from Sahara can exacerbate particulate matter (PM) mass. In this study, PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ concentrations were evaluated in industrial and urban areas during the lockdown period due to COVID-19 in northern Colombia. Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) observations obtained from the spaceborne MODIS (MOD04-3k) and the active fire data was obtained from VIIRS Active Fire. We measured surface contamination at several stations to quantify the PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ changes associated with the general closure of anthropogenic and industrial activities driven by COVID-19 and by the macroscale and/or mesoscale contributions. In the industrial zone, a slight decrease in daily concentrations was detected at the stations located near the mining operations. In the urban area, the decrease is more salient in COVID-19 lockdown. A reduction rate in the daily averages of PM10 of 23.3%, 6.0%, and 19.0% was observed in the SCa, SBi, and SUn stations, respectively. The biomass burning episode has contributed 52% to the daily average of PM₁₀ and 45% to the daily average of PM₂.₅. The episode due to the passage of Saharan dust through the Caribbean Sea has contributed 79% to the daily average of PM₁₀ (150.75 μg/m³) and on 57% to the daily average of PM₂.₅.

    Abstract Variations in the carbonaceous aerosol contents, organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC), in particulate matter less than 10 μm in size (PM₁₀), were analyzed at sites influenced by coal mining in an open-pit mine located in northern Colombia. Samples were collected during different seasonal periods throughout 2015. Meteorological variables for each site were examined during the different seasons. Aerosols were detected using a thermal-optical reflectance protocol method. The highest PM₁₀ concentrations, between the ranges of 28.2 ± 8.2 μg m⁻³ and 75.0 ± 36.5 μg m⁻³, were recorded during the dry season. However, the highest concentrations of OC (4.8–14.2 μg m⁻³) and EC (2.9–13.9 μg m⁻³) in PM₁₀ were observed during the transition period between the dry and wet seasons. The strong correlation between OC and EC in PM₁₀ (r = 0.6–1.0) during the transition season indicates a common primary combustion source. High OC (> 8.3 μg m⁻³) and EC (> 6.9 μg m⁻³) concentrations were associated with low wind speeds (< 2.1 m s⁻¹) moving in different directions. Analyses of the sources of atmospheric aerosol pollutants in the mining area in northern Colombia showed that the daily maximum total carbon concentrations were mainly associated with regional atmospheric transport of particulate matter from industrial areas and biomass burning sites located in the territory of Venezuela.
