Chemical composition of emissions from urban sources of fine organic aerosol
TLDR
In this paper, a dilution source sampling system was used to collect primary organic aerosol emissions from important sources, including a boiler burning No 2 fuel, a home fireplace, a fleet of catalyst-equipped and non-catalyst automobiles, heavy-duty diesel trucks, natural gas home appliances, and meat cooking operations.Abstract:
A dilution source sampling system was used to collect
primary fine aerosol emissions from important sources of
urban organic aerosol, including a boiler burning No 2 fuel
oil, a home fireplace, a fleet of catalyst-equipped and
noncatalyst automobiles, heavy-duty diesel trucks, natural
gas home appliances, and meat cooking operations Alternative
dilution sampling techniques were used to collect
emissions from cigarette smoking and a roofing tar pot,
and grab sample techniques were employed to characterize
paved road dust, brake lining wear, tire wear, and vegetative
detritus Organic aerosol constituted the majority
of the fine aerosol mass emitted from many of the sources
tested Fine primary organic aerosol emissions within the
heavily urbanized western portion of the Los Angeles Basin
were determined to total 298 metric tons/day Over 40%
of these organic aerosol emissions are from anthropogenic
pollution sources that are expected to emit contemporary
(nonfossil) aerosol carbon, in good agreement with the
available ambient monitoring dataread more

TL;DR: This article presented a bottom-up estimate of uncertainties in source strength by combining uncertainties in particulate matter emission factors, emission characterization, and fuel use, with uncertainty ranges of 4.3-22 Tg/yr for BC and 17-77 Tg /yr for OC.

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.

Biomass burning — a review of organic tracers for smoke from incomplete combustion
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief review of the organic matter composition in aerosols derived from the major sources is also given, with emphasis on the detection of biomass burning components, and a long range transport of smoke particulate matter with the associated organic compounds is also discussed.

Association of fine particulate matter from different sources with daily mortality in six U.S. cities.
TL;DR: Results indicate that combustion particles in the fine fraction from mobile and coal combustion sources, but not fine crustal particles, are associated with increased mortality.

Sources and properties of non-exhaust particulate matter from road traffic: a review.
TL;DR: It is concluded that with the exception of brake dust particles which may be identified from their copper (Cu) and antimony (Sb) content, unequivocal identification of particles from other sources is likely to prove extremely difficult, either because of the lack of suitable tracer elements or compounds, or of the interactions between sources prior to the emission process.
