Aerosol composition and source apportionment in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area with PIXE/PESA/STIM and multivariate analysis
Aerosols play an important role in the atmosphere but are poorly characterized, particularly in urban areas like the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA). The chemical composition of urban particles must be known to assess their effects on the environment, and specific particulate emissions sources should be identified to establish effective pollution control standards. For these reasons, sampl...
متن کاملComparative analysis of urban atmospheric aerosol by particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE), proton elastic scattering analysis (PESA), and aerosol mass spectrometry (AMS).
A multifaceted approach to atmospheric aerosol analysis is often desirable in field studies where an understanding of technical comparability among different measurement techniques is essential. Herein, we report quantitative intercomparisons of particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) and proton elastic scattering analysis (PESA), performed of fline under a vacuum, with analysis by aerosol mass ...
متن کاملThe Use of STIM and PESA to Measure Proles of Aerosol Mass and Hydrogen Content, Respectively, across Mylar Rotating Drums Impactor Samples
A method has been developed for measuring pro les of aerosol mass on thin (480 1g/cm2) Apiezon-L coatedMylar lms employed in rotating drum aerosol impactor samplers using the ion beam analysis technique scanning transmission ion microscopy (STIM). The greased Mylar lms are excellent impaction substrates and possess excellent uniformity in projected density, making them an ideal substrate f...
متن کاملComparison between CARIBIC Aerosol Samples Analysed by Accelerator-Based Methods and Optical Particle Counter Measurements
Inter-comparison of results from two kinds of aerosol systems in the CARIBIC (Civil Aircraft for the Regular Investigation of the atmosphere Based on a Instrument Container) passenger aircraft based observatory, operating during intercontinental flights at 9–12 km altitude, is presented. Aerosol from the lowermost stratosphere (LMS), the extra-tropical upper troposphere (UT) and the tropical mi...
متن کاملSTIM and PIXE mapping of diseased cerebral and other tissues
This research is focused on investigating the biochemical mechanisms involved in neurovascular inflammation, cerebral hypoxia and altered cerebral metabolism, with particular focus on their role in the pathogenesis of cerebral malaria (CM) and acute bacterial meningitis (ABM). The pathogenesis of these diseases remains poorly understood, hindering the development of improved therapies. Previous...
