TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the information available on concentration distribution, sources, sinks, and atmospheric transformation reactions of organic matter in the global troposphere and conclude that anthropogenic sources often dominate the atmospheric chemistry of organic material in urban and near-urban air, a key to understanding the global cycling of tropospheric organic substances is a clear understanding of the interaction of the atmosphere with the terrestrial and marine biosphere.

An assessment of the origin and composition of higher molecular weight organic matter in aerosols over Amazonia
TL;DR: Aerosol samples were taken from a tower in the Ducke Forest Reserve about 30 km northeast of the city of Manaus (state capital of Amazonas) at times with typical agricultural burning as discussed by the authors.

Computerized gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in environmental samples.
TL;DR: The three-step method for determining polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in environmental samples consists of a preliminary separation of PAH by solvent and/or column chromatography, identification by a combination of gas Chromatography with quadrupole mass spectrometry and computer, and measurement by computerized gas chromatography using internal standards.

Fast quantitative analysis of organic compounds in air-borne particulate matter by gas chromatography with selective mass spectrometric detection
W. Cautreels,K. Van Cauwenberghe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the major organic constituents of airborne particulate matter are determined by Soxhlet extraction with benzene and methanol, which is performed by the internal standard technique using a mass chromatographic approach.

A high-volume air sampling system for use with cellulose filters
R. Dams,R. Heindryckx +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the use of cellulose filters in high-volume air sampling requires a more powerful cooling system for the vacuum pump than does conventional glass fiber filters, and a complete sampling system is described, including pump, shelter, filter holder and accessories.
