Abstract

Infrared spectroscopy is an inexpensive, nondestructive method used on teflon filters. Functional groups are quantitatively measured and summed to calculate OM. Organosulfate difficult to measure due to lack of atmospherically relevant standards, interferent standards (aluminosilicates) and measurements. Amine measured in most samples o tracer for automobiles, animal husbandry and forest fires. Small impact on OM/OC in IMPROVE sites in 2013.
