Urban Air Toxics Monitoring Program aldehyde results, 1989. Final report
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed the Urban Air Toxics Monitoring Program (UATMP) to help state and local agencies assess the nature and magnitude of their air toxics problems. The UATMP sampler collects ambient air samples at urban sites in 6-liter (L) SUMMA -treated stainless steel canisters. At the same time, through a separate heated sample line, ambient air samples are drawn in parallel through duplicate cartridges which trap the carbonyl compounds from the ambient air. The aldehyde cartridges collected at the UATMP sites for 1989 were extracted and analyzed by the Atmospheric Research and Exposure Assessment Laboratory (AREAL) of the U.S. EPA at Research Triangle Park, NC for formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acetone. These carbonyls were selected as target compounds for the 1989 UATMP. The report presents the data summaries and other data assessments for the carbonyl samples collected during the 1989 UATMP season. The air toxics compounds collected in canisters for the 1989 UATMP season are reported separately.
