A composite receptor method applied to Philadelphia aerosol

A composite of chemical mass balances, multiple linear regression, and wind trajectory receptor models was developed to apportion particulate mass into source categories. It was applied to 156 aerosol samples collected in dichotomous samplers at three sites in the Philadelphia area and analyzed by X...

Description
Summary:A composite of chemical mass balances, multiple linear regression, and wind trajectory receptor models was developed to apportion particulate mass into source categories. It was applied to 156 aerosol samples collected in dichotomous samplers at three sites in the Philadelphia area and analyzed by X-ray fluorescence, instrumental neutron activation, ion chromatography, and pyrolysis
