OSTI ID:20006521
Measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOC) were carried out in the California/Mexico border region during the Southern California Ozone study in the Summer of 1997 (SCOS97). Integrated 3-hr samples were collected in Rosarito (south of Tijuana, Mexico) and in Mexicali during Intensive Operational Periods (IOP), twice per IOP day. VOC were collected using stainless-steel 6 L canisters; carbonyl compounds were collected using 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) impregnated C{sub 18} SepPak cartridges. The canister samples were analyzed for speciated volatile hydrocarbons (C{sub 2}-C{sub 12}), CO, CO{sub 2}, CH{sub 4}, MTBE, and halogenated hydrocarbons. DNPH-impregnated cartridges were analyzed for fourteen C{sub 1}-C{sub 7} carbonyl compounds. The results of these measurements will be discussed.
