Carbon Isotopic Analysis of the Northern Front Range Air Quality Study's Summerand Winter 1996-1997 Program

摘要

Over 100 radiocarbon (C-14) analyses of both ambient PM2.5 (particulate matterwith an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 micrograms or less) and PM-2.5 source samples from the Northern Front Range Air Quality Study (NFRAQS) were performed. Results of these analyses will be used as a quality control check on the carbon apportionments generated by the Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) receptor model.
