eng Abstract:
Organic aerosol (OA) is the most abundant but still poorly characterized component of airborne particulate matter. This situation is even more complicated in large cities where many anthropogenic sources of primary organic aerosol (POA) are situated. In recent years, aerosol mass spectrometry has been increasingly applied to obtain highly time-resolved chemical composition of ambient aerosol. This is considerably important for clarification of organic aerosol life cycles and sources. Two measuring campaigns, which lasted about six weeks in summer 2012 and in winter 2013, were performed at suburban site Prague – Suchdol. Aerosol data were measured by Aerodyne compact time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) which is able to characterize the size resolved chemical composition of non-refractory submicron (PM1) fraction.
