Abstract

Fine organic particulate matter emitted from an industrial-scale boiler burning no. 2 distillate fuel oil has been characterized on a molecular basis using GC/MS techniques. Most of the identified compound mass consists of n -alkanoic acids (42.0−51.5%), aromatic acids (5.8−22.6%), and n -alkanes (6.7−25.0%). Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and oxygenated PAH (oxy-PAH) together comprise 3.1−8.6% of the identifiable mass and together with chlorinated compounds (5.8−16.4%) show the largest variations in emission rates between the two experiments reported here. An increase in chlorinated compound emissions between tests is accompanied by a similar increase in elemental carbon (i.e., soot) and PAH emissions, which may follow the results of laboratory experiments that suggest that the presence of chlorinated compounds can enhance both soot and PAH formation. Differences between the hopanes distribution in the boiler exhaust versus that found in both vehicle exhaust and in the southern California atmosphere suggest that the oil-fired boiler exhaust is at most a minor contributor to the atmospheric aerosol, which is consistent with inferences drawn from local emission inventories.

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.
