Profiles of Organic Particulate Emissions from Air Pollution Sources: Status and Needs for Receptor Source Apportionment Modeling

“…50 Measurements by Hangebrauck and coworkers 51 of PAH in emissions from a large number of source types suggested that the ratios of certain compounds might be useful in distinguishing certain types of sources. In 1974, Bartle et al 52 reported the use of high resolution glass capillary columns for separating PAH in urban particulate matter. The chromatographic profiles of samples collected at three locations in Indianapolis, Indiana, at sites influenced by emissions from industrial sources, motor vehicles and residential space heating (oil and gas) differed qualitatively from each other.…”
