Highly polar organic compounds present in wood smoke and in the ambient atmosphere

Article Abstract:

Using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, researchers at the California Institute of Technology have worked to identify polar organic compounds in both wood smoke and the ambient atmosphere. Sugar anhydrides mannosan, galactosan and levoglucosan were detected and measured. Multiple charts and diagrams show the concentrations and structure of lignins and sugars found in wood smoke in the San Joaquin Valley in California.

Measurement of emissions from air pollution sources. 2. C1 through C30 organic compounds from medium duty diesel trucks

Article Abstract:

A two-stage dilution source sampling system was used to quantify gas- and particle-phase tailpipe emissions from late-model medium duty diesel trucks. Emission rates of 52 gas-phase volatile hydrocarbons, 67 semivolatile and 28 particle-phase organic compounds and 26 carbonyls are determined along with fine particle mass and chemical composition.
