TL;DR: In this article, the response of two different aethalometers (AE10 with white light and AE30 with multi-wavelength capability) to several types of soot was investigated, including diesel soot, spark-generated carbon particles, and mixtures of these soot particles with ammonium sulfate and oxidation products of �pinene.

TL;DR: The thermodesorber as discussed by the authors is an instrument to remove volatile material from aerosol particles by thermal desorption, which can be used to measure particulate emissions from combustion processes and can also be applied to atmospheric aerosols.

TL;DR: In a series of intercomparison trials, the authors of as mentioned in this paper found that ammonium nitrate degradation from Teflon and quartz filters is only substantial when temperatures are much higher than those during the field campaign, and that the influence of the mentioned artefacts was negligible.

TL;DR: A comprehensive range of aerosol parameters was measured at an urban and a rural site in the Milan, Italy metropolitan region during summer smog events in summer 1998 as mentioned in this paper, and small particles (d < 40 nm) are thought to consist mainly of hydrophobic particulate organic matter, rather than soot or H2SO4 aerosols.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured reactive nitrogen (NO, NO2, peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), HNO3, and particulate nitrate) at the high-alpine research station Jungfraujoch (JFJ), 3580 m above sea level (asl).
