Figure 1

Distribution of major components in concentrated PM 2.5 during exposures. Concentrations of organic matter (OM: OC × 1.8), elemental carbon (EC), sulfate, nitrate, ammonia, crustal elements and other components were determined from 8 h samples from the four separate field studies as described in Materials and Methods. Crustal = 2.14Al + 2.43Fe + 1.54Si, where Si was estimated as potassium (K)/0.15.
