Unspeciated organic emissions from combustion sources and their influence on the secondary organic aerosol budget in the United States.
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed from the atmospheric oxidation of nonmethane organic gases (NMOG) is a major contributor to atmospheric aerosol mass. Emissions and smog chamber experiments were performed to investigate SOA formation from gasoline vehicles, diesel vehicles, and biomass burning. About 10-20% of NMOG emissions from these major combustion sources are not routinely speciated ...
متن کاملSource apportionment of carbonaceous aerosol in southern Sweden
A one-year study was performed at the Vavihill background station in southern Sweden to estimate the anthropogenic contribution to the carbonaceous aerosol. Weekly samples of the particulate matter PM10 were collected on quartz filters, and the amounts of organic carbon, elemental carbon, radiocarbon (14C) and levoglucosan were measured. This approach enabled source apportionment of the total c...
متن کاملDetermination of low-molecular-weight dicarboxylic acids in atmospheric aerosols: comparison between silylation and esterification derivatisation procedures for GC-MS analysis
Aliphatic dicarboxylic acids are one of most important components of water-soluble organics in atmospheric aerosol: they can derive from primary emissions from biomass burning and fossil fuel combustion, as well as photochemical oxidation of organic precursors of both anthropogenic and biogenic origin. Therefore, a detailed investigation on concentrations and relative abundance of these compoun...
متن کاملImpacts of Combustion Conditions and Photochemical Processing on the Light Absorption of Biomass Combustion Aerosol.
The aim was to identify relationships between combustion conditions, particle characteristics, and optical properties of fresh and photochemically processed emissions from biomass combustion. The combustion conditions included nominal and high burn rate operation and individual combustion phases from a conventional wood stove. Low temperature pyrolysis upon fuel addition resulted in "tar-ball" ...
متن کاملCloud condensation nuclei activity of fresh primary and aged biomass burning aerosol
We quantify the hygroscopic properties of particles freshly emitted from biomass burning and after several hours of photochemical aging in a smog chamber. Values of the hygroscopicity parameter, κ , were calculated from cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) measurements of emissions from combustion of 12 biomass fuels commonly burned in North American wildfires. Prior to photochemical aging, the κ of...
