TL;DR: In this article, residential wood combustion emissions were analyzed to determine emission rates and to develop chemical emissions profiles that represent the appliances and woods typically used in wood-burning communities, over 350 elements, inorganic compounds, and organic compounds were quantified.

TL;DR: The chemical mass balance (CMB) receptor model has been used to apportion volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in more than 20 urban areas, mostly in the United States as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) was conducted at more than 40 locations to acquire a database with meteorological, air quality, and visibility measurements, and to assess the causes of elevated ozone and suspended particulate matter concentrations throughout metropolitan Los Angeles, CA (the South Coast Air Basin) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Receptor models infer contributions from particulate matter (PM) source types using multivariate measurements of particle chemical and physical properties, and complement source models that estimate concentrations from emissions inventories and transport meteorology.

TL;DR: The chemical mass balance (CMB) receptor model was applied to the chemically speciated diurnal particulate matter samples acquired at nine locations in California's South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB) during the summer and fall of 1987 as part of the Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS).
