Distribution of dicarboxylic acids and carbon isotopic ratios in aerosols from 1997 Indonesian forest fires
Fine aerosol particles collected in Southeast Asia during 1997 Indonesian forest fires were studied for the concentrations of total carbon (TC), water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) and low molecular weight dicarboxylic acids (C2-C12) as well as carbon isotopic ratios of TC (δCTC). TC and WSOC showed a large increase during the heavy forest fire event. At the same period, dicarboxylic acids, dom...
متن کاملComparison of Water-Soluble Organic Components in Size-Segregated Particles between a Roadside and a Suburban Site in Saitama, Japan
To clarify the characteristics of the water-soluble organic components in atmospheric aerosols, size-separated aerosol samples were simultaneously collected at a roadside site (R) and a suburban background site (S) in Saitama, Japan, during spring and summer 2007 and winter 2008. Chemical compositions, including water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC), organic carbon, inorganic ionic components, an...
متن کاملSeasonal distributions and sources of lowmolecular weight dicarboxylic acids, v-oxocarboxylic acids, pyruvic acid, a-dicarbonyls and fatty acids in ambient aerosols from subtropical Okinawa in the western Pacific Rim
Ambient aerosol samples were collected for 1 year at Okinawa Island, Japan, and were analysed for watersoluble dicarboxylic acids, oxoacids, a-dicarbonyls and fatty acids to better understand biogenic v. anthropogenic sources and the formation–transformation of organic aerosols during long-range atmospheric transport. Here, we report seasonal variations of diacids and related compounds in Okina...
متن کاملEnrichment of 13C in diacids and related compounds during photochemical processing of aqueous aerosols: New proxy for organic aerosols aging
To investigate the applicability of compound specific stable carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) of organics in assessment of their photochemical aging in the atmosphere, batch UV irradiation experiments were conducted on two ambient (anthropogenic and biogenic) aerosol samples in aqueous phase for 0.5-120 h. The irradiated samples were analyzed for δ13C of diacids, glyoxylic acid (ωC2) and glyoxal. δ...
متن کاملMolecular distributions and compound-specific stable carbon isotopic compositions of lipids in wintertime aerosols from Beijing
Molecular distributions and stable carbon isotopic compositions (δ(13)C) of n-alkanes, fatty acids and n-alcohols were investigated in urban aerosols from Beijing, northern China to better understand the sources and long-range atmospheric transport of terrestrial organic matter during polluted and clear days in winter. n-Alkanes (C19-C36), fatty acids (C8-C32) and n-alcohols (C16-C32) detected ...
