This monograph provides a unique and comprehensive coverage of the nature and
atmospheric role of carbonaceous aerosol particles, these big unknowns of the global …

Particulate matter emissions were measured in two bores of the Caldecott Tunnel in
Northern California during August and September 2004. One bore (Bore 1) is open to both …

Thermal-optical analysis is currently under consideration by the European standardization
body (CEN) as the reference method to quantitatively determine organic carbon (OC) and …

Weekly PM 2.5 samples were collected for one year (1999-2000) in Bei**g and Shanghai
and the carbonaceous species analyzed to investigate and compare their time series …

A commercial semi-continuous elemental and organic carbon (ECOC) analyzer has been
developed by Sunset Laboratory Inc. for the analysis of atmospheric particulate matter. The …

Particles from biomass burning and regional haze were sampled in Rondônia, Brazil, during
dry, transition and wet periods from September to November 2002, as part of the LBA …

Sampling and analysis of carbonaceous compounds in particulate matter presents a number
