Study to evaluate the CADMP sampler. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:445728

The objective of this research object was to perform a comprehensive evaluation of nitric acid losses in the CADMP sampler and to quantify denuder and cyclone efficiency so that the accuracy of the nitrate and nitric acid measurements can be assessed. Nitric acid penetration of the sampler was studied in the field by using filtered ambient air as a nitric acid source and in the laboratory by using synthetically generated nitric acid. Penetration of particles through the cyclone was determined using a laboratory-generated aerosol.
