The Carbon Methods Comparison Study conducted during August 12-20, 1986 at Citrus College, Glendora, CA in the Los Angeles basin compared analytical methodologies for analyzing the carbon content of aerosol samples, as well as compared measurements acquired with different samples. Five samplers, including a multistage microorifice uniform deposit impactor (MOUDI), a conventional quartz filter, a specially designed electrostatic precipitator (ESP), and 2 identical single stage MOUDIs were used. One of the single stage MOUDIs was used as a fine particle sampler; the second was used in experiments to investigate possible sampling articles. The results are summarized and discussed.
