Figure 1

A map of superimposed backward trajectories using the Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory Model (HYSPLIT) at the Real-Time Environmental Applications and Display sYstem (READY) website developed by the Air Resources Laboratory of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Archived meteorological data was utilized to model the direction and location of the test air mass for the previous 24 hr before 10 am local time (2 pm UTC (Universal Time Coordinated)) of each exposure day. Each trajectory represents a different air mass for each winter exposure day (2/28/12, and 2/29/12, and 3/07/12 and blue in color) and each summer exposure day (8/17/11 and 8/18/11 and red in color) and terminates at the exposure facility in A-Building of the US EPA campus in Durham, NC (indicated by a star). Triangle symbols indicate time of day (UTC) in 6 hour increments with larger symbols corresponding to midnight UTC (8 pm local time) in each path.
