Measurement methods for fine carbonaceous aerosol were compared under field sampling conditions in Flushing, New York during the period of January and early February 2004. In-situ 5- to 60-minute average PM2.5 organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), and black carbon (BC) concentrations were obtained by the following methods: Sunset Laboratory field OC/EC analyzer, Rupprecht and Patashnick (R&P) series 5400 ambient carbon particulate monitor, Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) for total organic matter (OM), and a two-wavelength AE-20 Aethalometer. Twenty-four hour averaged PM2.5 filter measurements for OC and EC were also made with a Speciation Trends Network (STN) sampler. The diurnal variations in OC/EC/BC concentrations peaked during the morning and afternoon rush hours indicating the dominant influence of vehicle emissions. BC/EC slopes are found to range between 0.86 and 1.23 with reasonably high correlations (r > 0.75). Low mixing heights and absence of significant transported carbonaceous aerosol are indicated by the measurements. Strong correlations are observed between BC and thermal EC as measured by the Sunset instrument and between Sunset BC and Aethalometer BC. Reasonable correlations are observed among collocated OC/EC measurements by the various instruments. |
