Mixing state of oxalic acid containing particles in the rural area of Pearl River Delta, China: implications for the formation mechanism of oxalic acid [PDF]
The formation of oxalic acid and its mixing state in atmospheric particulate matter (PM) were studied using a single-particle aerosol mass spectrometer (SPAMS) in the summer and winter of 2014 in Heshan, a supersite in the rural area of the Pearl ...

PM source apportionment and health effects: 1. Intercomparison of source apportionment results [PDF]
During the past three decades, receptor models have been used to identify and apportion ambient concentrations to sources. A number of groups are employing these methods to provide input into air quality management planning. A workshop has explored the use of resolved source contributions in health effects models.

Source Apportionment with Site Specific Source Profiles [PDF]
A receptor modeling study was performed to identify and apportion the sources of PM10 mass in Granite City, Illinois, an area of historic TSP nonattainment. Samples of the ambient aerosol were collected using a dichotomous sampler. Each sample was analyzed by x-ray fluorescence and instrumental neutron activation analysis.

Characteristics and mixing state of amine-containing particles at a rural site in the Pearl River Delta, China [PDF]
Particulate amines play an important role for the particle acidity and hygroscopicity and also contribute to secondary organic aerosol mass. We investigated the sources and mixing states of particulate amines using a single-particle aerosol mass ...

Estimation of the share of artificial Po-210 contamination in the ambient air [PDF]
In this work, source apportionment for unsupported 210Po was conducted. The activity size distributions of both supported and unsupported 210Po in urban aerosols were measured from February to December 2019.

Sensitivity of source apportionment results to mobile source profiles [PDF]
The sensitivity of a source apportionment model to mobile source profiles was examined to determine the impact of using non-local mobile source profiles in chemical mass balance (CMB) models. We examined the impact of USA and Chinese mobile source profiles on source apportionment results in St. Louis, Missouri, and Beijing.

Direct Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry for Monitoring of Photochemical Oxidation Reaction of Benzaldehyde in Face Mask [PDF]
Face masks are usually used to prevent inhalable particles and microdroplets that may enter the nose and mouth. However, a lot of organic contaminants can be found in materials, manufacturing processes, or packaging of face mask, so there is a potential ...
