Measurements of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in the atmosphere often involve the use of DNPH-coated cartridges. During sampling, ozone and other atmospheric oxidants may react with DNPH and/or the carbonyl-DNPH, thus resulting in a negative bias. In this study, ambient air has been collected using co-located DNPH C{sub 18} cartridges with and without a filter coated with KI to remove ozone and other oxidants. Concentrations of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde measured without the KI filter were lower than those measured with a KI filter. Implications for ambient measurements of carbonyls in the presence of atmospheric ozone are discussed.
