Source Apportionment with Site Specific Source Profiles [PDF]

Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, 1991
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.

Source apportionment resolved by time of day for improved deconvolution of primary source contributions to air pollution [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2022
Present methodologies for source apportionment assume fixed source profiles. Since meteorology and human activity patterns change seasonally and diurnally, application of source apportionment techniques to shorter rather than longer time periods ...

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]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017
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 ...

Mechanistic insights into the generation and control of Cl-DBPs during wastewater sludge chlorination disinfection process

Environment International, 2022
Chlorination disinfection has been widely used to kill the pathogenic microorganisms in wastewater sludge during the special Covid-19 period, but sludge chlorination might cause the generation of harmful disinfection byproducts (DBPs).

Iodine source apportionment in the Malawian diet [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
AbstractThe aim of this study was to characterise nutritional-I status in Malawi. Dietary-I intakes were assessed using new datasets of crop, fish, salt and water-I concentrations, while I status was assessed for 60 women living on each of calcareous and non-calcareous soils as defined by urinary iodine concentration (UIC).

Characteristics and mixing state of amine-containing particles at a rural site in the Pearl River Delta, China [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018
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 ...

Sensitivity of source apportionment results to mobile source profiles [PDF]

Environmental Pollution, 2016
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]

Zhipu Xuebao
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 ...
