“…Additional carbon in these particles originates from RCC that are emitted as volatiles and are later deposited to particles. It is possible that this source represents a significant RCC flux in some regions but there is a lack of quantitative flux estimates (Mazurek et al, 1997).…”

“…Under natural conditions, crystalline-like leaf surface waxes are dislodged by the wind and/or by the rubbing motions of leaves against each other. While these compounds are thought to be a signi"cant source of "ne aerosol organic carbon in some regions, there are no quantitative #ux estimates (Rogge et al, 1996;Mazurek et al, 1997).…”

“…The complex mixture of organic compounds and some limitations related to GC itself make molecular identification difficult. 16,18 Rogge and his colleagues 16 identified over 80 individual organic compounds at four urban sites in Southern California, mostly nonpolar and semipolar compounds. Polar organic compounds can be derivatized to less polar or nonpolar compounds to enable easier GC separation.…”

Fine particulate matter is believed to be more toxic than coarse particles and to exacerbate health problems such as respiratory and cardiopulmonary diseases. Specific organic compounds within atmospheric fine particulate material can be used to differentiate specific inputs from various emissions and thus is helpful in identifying the major urban air pollution sources that contribute to these health problems. Particular marker compounds that carry signature information about different emission sources (i.e., gasoline or diesel motor vehicles, wood smoke, meat cooking, vegetative detritus, and cigarette smoke) are reviewed. Aerosol organic types (e.g., from mass spectrometry data, which can also help in elucidation of carbonaceous material sources) are also discussed. Apportionment of the primary source contributions and atmospheric processes contributing to fine particulate matter and fine particulate organic material concentrations are outlined. This review provides an overview of the latest developments in chemical characterization approaches for identification and quantification of compounds in complex organic mixtures associated with fine atmospheric particles and their use in chemical mass balance (CMB) and positive matrix factorization (PMF) source apportionment models.
