Time-resolved measurements of black carbon light absorption enhancement in urban and near-urban locations of southern Ontario, Canada
In this study a photoacoustic spectrometer (PA), a laser-induced incandescence instrument system (LII) and an Aerosol Mass Spectrometer were operated in parallel for in-situ measurements of black carbon (BC) light absorption enhancement. Results of a thermodenuder experiment using ambient particles in Toronto are presented first to show that LII measurements of BC are not influenced by the pres...
متن کاملUrban agriculture: long-term strategy or impossible dream?: Lessons from Prospect Farm in Brooklyn, New York.
Proponents of urban agriculture have identified its potential to improve health and the environment but in New York City and other densely developed and populated urban areas, it faces huge challenges because of the shortage of space, cost of land, and the lack of contemporary local food production. However, large portions of the city and metropolitan region do have open land and a history of a...
متن کاملLong-term black carbon dynamics in cultivated soil
Black carbon (BC) is a quantitatively important C pool in the global C cycle due to its relative recalcitrance compared with other C pools. However, mechanisms of BC oxidation and accompanying molecular changes are largely unknown. In this study, the long-term dynamics in quality and quantity of BC were investigated in cultivated soil using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transf...
متن کاملLong-term field characterization of tapered element oscillating microbalance and modified tapered element oscillating microbalance samplers in urban and rural New York State locations.
Long-term field comparisons of continuous and integrated filter measurements of mass concentrations of particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 microm (PM2.5) were performed at rural and urban sites in New York State. Two versions of the continuous tapered element oscillating microbalance (TEOM) mass monitor are deployed at each site, in addition to Federal...
متن کاملLong term WBV measurements on vehicles travelling on urban paths.
This paper describes the results of a long-term whole-body-vibration monitoring campaign performed on different cars with different drivers. The weighted and the un-weighted root-mean-square acceleration, the MTVV and the VDV have been monitored on five different cars in regular usage for over one hundred hours of measurements on urban roads and highways. The variability of the above parameters...
