Improved identification of primary biological aerosol particles using single-particle mass spectrometry
Measurements of primary biological aerosol particles (PBAP), especially at altitudes relevant to cloud formation, are scarce. Single-particle mass spectrometry (SPMS) has been used to probe aerosol chemical composition from ground and aircraft for over 20 years. Here we develop a method for identifying bioaerosols (PBAP and particles containing fragments of PBAP as part of an internal mixture) ...
متن کاملIdentification of high explosives using single-particle aerosol mass spectrometry.
The application of single-particle aerosol mass spectrometry (SPAMS) to the real-time detection of micrometer-sized single particles of high explosives is described. Dual-polarity time-of-flight mass spectra from 1000 single particles each of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX), and pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), as well as those of complex explosives, Compo...
متن کاملDepth profiling of heterogeneously mixed aerosol particles using single-particle mass spectrometry.
Infrared laser evaporation of single aerosol particles in a vacuum followed by vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) laser ionization and time-of-flight mass spectroscopy of the resulting vapor provides a depth profile of the particle's composition. Analyzing glycerol particles coated with 60-150-nm coatings of oleic acid using either a CO2 laser or a tunable optical parametric oscillator as an evaporation ...
متن کاملQuantifying emissions of primary biological aerosol particle mass in Europe
Atmospheric concentration measurements of tracers for primary biological aerosol particles (PBAPs) have been used to obtain estimates of their release into the atmosphere. Emission flux data of surrogate compounds, for which concurrent concentration measurements were available, were used to quantify the release of PBAPs as PM10 mass. Results indicate fungal spores to be the most important contr...
متن کاملMeasurement of Condensed-Phase Reaction Kinetics in the Aerosol Phase Using Single Particle Mass Spectrometry
We applied a recently developed single particle mass spectrometer to analyze the elemental composition of individual aerosol particles and applied the technique to study the kinetics of thermal decomposition of metal nitrate aerosols (aluminum, calcium, silver, and strontium). Such decomposition processes on the industrial scale is known as spray pyrolysis and is a common method for making meta...
