Size Distributions of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Elemental Carbon. 2. Ambient Measurements and Effects of Atmospheric Processes

Particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and elemental carbon size distributions were measured in ambient aerosol samples in order to study the dynamics of these compounds in the atmosphere. The more reactive PAHs were depleted to greater extents in mode II aerosol, providing strong evide...

More Information
Summary:Particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and elemental carbon size distributions were measured in ambient aerosol samples in order to study the dynamics of these compounds in the atmosphere. The more reactive PAHs were depleted to greater extents in mode II aerosol, providing strong evidence for aerosol aging.
