Trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport of anthropogenic semivolatile organic compounds in the western U.S.

Creator:

Primbs, Toby

Abstract:

The atmospheric transport of anthropogenic semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) from Asian sources to the Western U.S. was investigated. In addition, the SOC extraction method was optimized. Hansen solubility parameter plots were used to aid in the pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) solvent selection of air sampling media in order to minimize...

Atmospheric transport of anthropogenic semi-volatile organic compounds to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State

Creator:

Killin, Robert K.

Abstract:

Ambient high-volume (hi-vol) air samples were collected between March 15th and May 30th 2002, at Cheeka Peak Observatory (CPO), located on the tip of the Olympic Peninsula, Washington State. This sampling campaign was in conjunction with the 2002 Inter-Continental Transport and Chemical Transformation (ITCT 2K2) Campaign and the Photochemical Ozone...

Semi-volatile organic compounds as molecular markers for atmospheric and ecosystem transport

Creator:

Genualdi, Susan A.

Abstract:

The use of semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) as molecular markers to identify the contributions of regional and long-range atmospheric transport, as well as current and historic sources, and contaminant deposition in remote ecosystems of the Western U.S. was investigated. Trans-Pacific air masses influenced by Siberian biomass burning events had elevated...
