چکیده
This manuscript deals with the measurement of carbonaceous particulate matter in aerosols collected at 12 rural/background sites and 2 sub-urban sites across Europe, using, mainly, the EMEP measuring network. Taking into account the relative importance of carbonaceous material in continental atmospheric aerosols and the lack of extensive measurements of carbonaceous aerosol characteristics in rural areas in Europe, across the seasons, this work and its conclusions are important for the understanding of the behaviour, formation processes and origins of the European continental aerosol.

Elemental and organic carbon in PM10: a one year measurement campaign within the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme EMEP
In the present study, ambient aerosol (PM10) concentrations of elemental carbon (EC), organic carbon (OC), and total carbon (TC) are reported for 12 European rural background sites and two urban background sites following a one-year (1 July 2002–1 July 2003) sampling campaign within the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme, EMEP (http://www.emep.int/). The purpose of the campaign was to...
متن کاملModeling carbonaceous aerosol over Europe: Analysis of the CARBOSOL and EMEP EC/OC campaigns
[1] In this paper the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) MSC-W model is used to assess our understanding of the sources of carbonaceous aerosol in Europe (organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), or their sum, total carbon (TC)). The modeling work makes use of new data from two extensive measurement campaigns in Europe, those of the CARBOSOL project and of the EMEP EC/OC cam...

متن کاملSource apportionment of the summer time carbonaceous aerosol at Nordic rural background sites
In the present study, natural and anthropogenic sources of particulate organic carbon (OCp) and elemental carbon (EC) have been quantified based on weekly filter samples of PM10 (particles with aerodynamic diameter <10 μm) collected at four Nordic rural background sites [Birkenes (Norway), Hyytiälä (Finland), Vavihill (Sweden), Lille Valby, (Denmark)] during late summer (5 August–2 September 20...
متن کاملLessons learnt from the first EMEP intensive measurement periods
The first EMEP intensive measurement periods were held in June 2006 and January 2007. The measurements aimed to characterize the aerosol chemical compositions, including the gas/aerosol partitioning of inorganic compounds. The measurement program during these periods included daily or hourly measurements of the secondary inorganic components, with additional measurements of elementaland organic...
