Receptor methods for source apportionment: real world issues and applications

Journal Article · · J. Air Pollut. Control Assoc.; (United States)
Receptor models use information obtained from the ambient sample and meteorological conditions at the time of (and prior to) sampling to infer source impacts. The methods primarily used rely either on identification of discrete particles in the sample or statistical treatment of the bulk chemical analysis of the sample. An APCA Specialty Conference was held in Williamsburg, VA on March 13-14, 1985, on Receptor Methods for Source Apportionment - Real World Issues and Applications. The Specialty Conference was sponsored by APCAs TP-5 Receptor/Source Apportionment Committee and hosted by the South Atlantic Section and the Central Virginia Chapter of APCA. This paper is a summary of the 27 technical presentations, microcomputer poster presentations and the panel discussion that comprised the conference.
