Atmospheric particulate nitrate sampling errors due to reactions with particulate and gaseous strong acids

The significance of particulate nitrate loss from inert filters due to reactions with particulate and gaseous strong acids was assessed. Laboratory as well as atmospheric results from California's South Coast Air Basin support such loss by reaction of ammonium nitrate with paniculate H 2SO 4. N...

Description
Summary:The significance of particulate nitrate loss from inert filters due to reactions with particulate and gaseous strong acids was assessed. Laboratory as well as atmospheric results from California's South Coast Air Basin support such loss by reaction of ammonium nitrate with paniculate H 2SO 4. Nitrate loss by reaction with gaseous HCl, not previously reported, was found to be significant in laboratory trials.
