IMPROVE Corrects OC and EC for a Positive Artifact The positive artifact correction causes the organic and elemental carbon to approach zero as fine mass goes to zero IMPROVE: Artifact Corrected OC ~ 0.3, EC ~0.02  g/m 3 EPA STN monitoring site: No carbon artifact correction

IMPROVE and STN Fine Mass Budgets OC is scaled by 1.4 to account for oxygen and hydrogen mass OC accounts for ~20% of fine mass at Washington, ~43% at Baltimore EC accounts for ~6% of fine mass at Washington, ~4.4% at Baltimore Reconstructed fine mass:

Biogenic vs Fossil Carbon

Washington

Great Smoky

Jarbidge

OC/EC Ratio Winter 2001, Dec, Jan, Feb Summer 2001, Jun, Jul, Aug OC/EC ratio varies between 3 - 5, indicative of more primary urban emissions OC/EC > 7 throughout upper West and Texas, Fires? OC/EC ~ 3 in Industrial Midwest, primary urban? OC/EC > 4-6 in southeast, increased secondary organics?

FRACTION OF CARBON ATTRIBUTTED TO FIRE/SOA
