Chemical composition of emissions from urban sources of fine organic aerosol
Abstract
A dilution source sampling system was used to collect \nprimary fine aerosol emissions from important sources of \nurban organic aerosol, including a boiler burning No. 2 fuel \noil, a home fireplace, a fleet of catalyst-equipped and \nnoncatalyst automobiles, heavy-duty diesel trucks, natural \ngas home appliances, and meat cooking operations. Alternative \ndilution sampling techniques were used to collect \nemissions from cigarette smoking and a roofing tar pot, \nand grab sample techniques were employed to characterize \npaved road dust, brake lining wear, tire wear, and vegetative \ndetritus. Organic aerosol constituted the majority \nof the fine aerosol mass emitted from many of the sources \ntested. Fine primary organic aerosol emissions within the \nheavily urbanized western portion of the Los Angeles Basin \nwere determined to total 29.8 metric tons/day. Over 40% \nof these organic aerosol emissions are from anthropogenic \npollution sources that are expected to emit contemporary \n(nonfossil) aerosol carbon, in good agreement with the \navailable ambient monitoring data.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
