TL;DR: In this article, organic aerosol data acquired by the AMS in 37 field campaigns were deconvolved into hydrocarbon-like OA (HOA) and several types of oxygenated OA components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of the mass spectral signature of organic aerosols from wood burning emissions.

TL;DR: The identified ambient signature of wood burning was found to be very similar to the mass spectral signature obtained during the burning of chestnut wood samples in a small stove and also to the spectrum of levoglucosan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Source attribution of submicron organic aerosols during wintertime inversions by advanced factor analysis of aerosol mass spectra.
V. A. Lanz,M. Rami Alfarra,Urs Baltensperger,Brigitte Buchmann,Christoph Hueglin,Sönke Szidat,Miriam N. Wehrli,Lukas Wacker,Silke Weimer,Alexandre Caseiro,Hans Puxbaum,André S. H. Prévôt +11 more
TL;DR: Real-time measurements of submicrometer organic aerosol were performed using an Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) during three weeks at an urban background site in Zurich (Switzerland) in January 2006 and OOA estimates were strongly correlated with measured particulate ammonium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic aerosol mass spectral signatures from wood-burning emissions: Influence of burning conditions and wood type
TL;DR: In this paper, an Aerodyne quadrupole aerosol mass spectrometer was used to study the variability of the mass spectra of organic aerosol particles emitted from the burning of different wood types as a function of burning conditions and burning technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mobile measurements of aerosol number and volume size distributions in an Alpine valley: Influence of traffic versus wood burning
Silke Weimer,Claudia Mohr,R. Richter,Johannes Keller,M. Mohr,André S. H. Prévôt,Urs Baltensperger +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of different sources on ambient particle concentrations during summer and winter time was investigated in a narrow valley which provides the opportunity to study the effect of various sources such as traffic, wood burning and wood burning on particle number.
