Observations of Twelve USEPA Priority Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Aitken Size Range (10-32 nm D p )

Particle size distribution measurements of twelve USEPA priority pollutant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)-collected in Riverside, California, down to 10 nm aerodynamic diameter (D p )-observed on integrated nocturnal samples (7:00 p.m.-6:30 a.m.) revealed that between 46 and 100% of the mas...

Description
Summary:Particle size distribution measurements of twelve USEPA priority pollutant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)-collected in Riverside, California, down to 10 nm aerodynamic diameter (D p )-observed on integrated nocturnal samples (7:00 p.m.-6:30 a.m.) revealed that between 46 and 100% of the mass of particles in the Aitken size range was found in the 10-18 nm size bin. Particles in this size range have high alveolar deposition efficiency.
