A new method for measuring gas-phase naphthalene in the atmosphere is based on laser-induced fluorescence at low pressure. The fluorescence spectrum of naphthalene near 308 nm was identified. Naphthalene fluorescence quenching by N<IMG WIDTH='10' HEIGHT='29' ALIGN='MIDDLE' BORDER='0' src='http://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/4/563/2004/acp-4-563-img1.gif' ALT='$_{2}$'>, O<IMG WIDTH='10' HEIGHT='29' ALIGN='MIDDLE' BORDER='0' src='http://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/4/563/2004/acp-4-563-img1.gif' ALT='$_{2}$'> and H<IMG WIDTH='10' HEIGHT='29' ALIGN='MIDDLE' BORDER='0' src='http://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/4/563/2004/acp-4-563-img1.gif' ALT='$_{2}$'>O was investigated in the laboratory.

Instrument calibrations were performed with a range of naphthalene mixing ratios between 5 and 80 parts per billion by volume (ppbv, 10<IMG WIDTH='26' HEIGHT='34' ALIGN='MIDDLE' BORDER='0' src='http://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/4/563/2004/acp-4-563-img8.gif' ALT='$^{-9})$'>.

Measurements of atmospheric naphthalene in three cities, Nashville, TN, Houston, TX, and New York City, NY, are presented. Good correlation between naphthalene and major anthropogenic pollutants is found. |
