Journal ArticleDOI

Source apportionment of airborne particulate matter using organic compounds as tracers

TL;DR: In this paper, a chemical mass balance receptor model based on organic compounds was developed that relates sours; contributions to airborne fine particle mass concentrations and revealed source contributions to the concentrations of specific organic compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sources of fine organic aerosol. 2. Noncatalyst and catalyst-equipped automobiles and heavy-duty diesel trucks

TL;DR: In this article, the authors search for conservative marker compounds suitable for tracing the presence of vehicular particulate exhaust emissions in the urban atmosphere, compile quantitative source profiles, and study the contributions of fine organic particulate vehicular exhaust to the Los Angeles atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantification of urban organic aerosols at a molecular level: Identification, abundance and seasonal variation

TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution gas chromatography and mass spectrometers were used to identify primary organic aerosol constituents, revealing an annual pattern with high winter and low summer concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sources of fine organic aerosol. 3. road dust, tire debris, and organometallic brake lining dust: roads as sources and sinks

TL;DR: In this paper, the organic constituents present in fine particulate (d_p ≤ 2.0 µm) road dust, brake lining particles, and tire tread debris (not size segregated) were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sources of fine organic aerosol. 1. Charbroilers and meat cooking operations

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical composition of meat smoke aerosol is examined by high-resolution gas chromatography and gaseous chromatography/mass spectrometry, and the objective is to search for molecular markers that will confirm the presence of meats smoke in urban atmospheric samples.
