Anthropogenic Particulate Source Characterization and Source Apportionment Using Aerosol Time-of-flight Mass Spectrometry
Methods of measuring the chemical and physical properties of aerosols as well as proper source apportionment of ambient particles are necessary to provide insight as to the roles they play in the environment and their impact on human health. In addition, the ability to apportion ambient particles quickly and accurately will be very helpful for environmental and health agencies and for monitoring and enforcing emission standards by allowing such agencies to determine the primary source of aerosols in their monitoring areas. The goal of this dissertation is to provide a new approach for aerosol source apportionment using aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ATOFMS) single particle data. This goal was accomplished by determining unique mass spectral signatures for specific aerosol sources and by developing these signatures into a source signature library in which ambient ATOFMS data can be matched and apportioned.Table 3.1 Heavy Duty Diesel Vehicles (HDDVs) tested and driving cycles performed. cycle schedule was developed by ...
