Urban Toronto fine particulate matter (PM2.5) was physically and chemically characterized by online aerosol laser ablation mass spectrometry (LAMS) between January 2002 and February 2003. The mass spectra from the analysis of individual aerosol particles were classified according to chemical composi...
