Predicting bulk ambient aerosol compositions from ATOFMS data with ART-2a and multivariate analysis

چکیده
The aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ATOFMS) has not generally been used to provide a quantitative estimation of chemical compositions of ambient aerosols. In an initial study, the possibility of developing a calibration model to predict chemical compositions from ATOFMS data was demonstrated, but because of the limited number of samples (only 12), the ability of the calibration model was not fully r r a a r p a a A k ©

Comparison of two cluster analysis methods using single particle mass spectra
Cluster analysis of aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ATOFMS) data has been an effective tool for the identification of possible sources of ambient aerosols. In this study, the clustering results of two typical methods, adaptive resonance theory-based neural networks-2a (ART-2a) and density-based clustering of application with noise (DBSCAN), on ATOFMS data were investigated by employin...
متن کاملClassification of Single Particles Analyzed by ATOFMS Using an Artificial Neural Network, ART-2A
Aerosol particles have received significant public and scientific attention in recent years due to studies linking them to global climatic changes and human health effects. In 1994, Prather et al. (Prather, K. A.; Nordmeyer, T.; Salt, K. Anal. Chem. 1994, 66, 1403-1407) developed aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ATOFMS), the first technique capable of simultaneously determining both si...

Quantitative Analysis of Aerosol Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry Data using YAADA Aerosol Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (ATOFMS) instruments have been used to measure the size and composition of single aerosol particles in California. ATOFMS data are not direct quantitative measurements of aerosol composition because the instruments exhibit non-linear response to aerosol concentration, part...

متن کاملFormation of aerosol particles from reactions of secondary and tertiary alkylamines: characterization by aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
In ambient field studies conducted with aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ATOFMS), individual particle mass spectra commonly contain ion peaks at mass/charge (m/z) 86, 101, 102, and 118. Particles with mass spectra containing these peaks show a strong correlation with high relative humidity and low temperatures. In an effort to identify these peaks, a series of smog chamber studies were...
