LI, M., S. R. MCDOW, D. J. TOLLERUD, AND M. A. MAZUREK. QUANTITATION OF ORGANIC MOLECULAR MARKERS IN URBAN PARTICULATE MATTER FROM PHILADELPHIA, PA. Presented at Air & Waste Management Association 98th Annual Conference, Minneapolis, MN, June 21 - 24, 2005.
Impact/Purpose:
1) Develop a TOA protocol that meets the basic assumptions of the method and peer review of the method, 2) understand the role of sampling, analysis, and blank subtraction on the differences between the IMPROVE and STN OC and EC results 3) Evaluate the use of light absorbance methods to estimate EC on human exposure samples, 4) develop a sensitive analytical method suitable for analysis of STN and micro-environmental samples for organic molecular markers, and 5) develop an optimum list of organic molecular markers for source apportionment of particulate matter.
Description:
The purpose of this presentation is to present scientific results of a major organic aerosol analysis study at a national meeting.
