Hidden black carbon air pollution in hilly rural areas. A case study of dinaric depression by Matej OGRIN, Kristina GLOJEK, Asta GREGORIC, Griša MOCNIK, Andrea CUESTA-MOSQUERA, Alfred WIEDENSOHLER, Luka DRINOVEC

“…The large difference in mass concentrations between the lowest part of the village (rural station) and the top of the hill (rural background station) indicates that in a vertically stratified and stable atmosphere local sources of black carbon have a major impact on air quality conditions in the area studied. Since in Alpine and Dinaric regions there are many similar inhabited areas, we can expect similar air quality conditions also in other rural hilly areas with limited self-cleaning air capacity. …”
