AEROSOLS: types SOLID LIQUIID Dust Smoke Fly ash pollen Cloud Mist Fog smog
11
Mount manitoba, June 1991
12
Asian brown cloud over China
14
AEROSOLS: sources DUST SEA Dust Smoke Fly ash pollen plant fragments cement brake lining tires soil chemical concentration factor (surface effects) CCF = [aerosol]/[sea]
15
AEROSOLS: sizes > 400 nm scatter light < 0.01 micron coagulate > 10 micron settle out Typical size: micron
16
AEROSOLS: how to measure them
Alphabet soup: COH TSP IP TDF PM10 light scattering collecting on filters
17
AEROSOLS: how to measure them
Alphabet soup: COH TSP IP TDF PM10 Coefficient of Haze Draw 300 meters through a filter measure absorbance x 100 >6 bad for asthma typical samples 5-10 micron
18
AEROSOLS: how to measure them
Alphabet soup: COH TSP IP TDF PM10 Total Suspended Particulate Weighing after filtering Units: μg/m3 “normal” ~ 10 μg/m3 sometimes 500 μg/m3 in cities
19
AEROSOLS: how to measure them
Alphabet soup: COH TSP IP TDF PM10 Inhalable Particulates Generally IP ~ 0.45 TSP
20
AEROSOLS: how to measure them
Alphabet soup: COH TSP IP TDF PM10 Total Dust Fall units: g m-2 month-1 should be < 7 g m-2 month-1 often exceeded in industrial areas
21
AEROSOLS: how to measure them
Alphabet soup: COH TSP IP TDF PM10 Particulate matter < 10 micron PM10 = TSP < 10 μ
24
Combustion Products. Fly-ash vs. bottom-ash 150 PAHs With 2 – 7 rings
27
• Nuclei mode • Accumulation mode • Coarse particle mode
