This paper describes the design and testing of a new sampling method for collecting fine particle emissions from woodstoves on Teflon and quartz filters. The aerosols collected on the Teflon filters are analyzed by X-ray fluorescence techniques for elemental composition, and the quartz filters are analyzed by thermal combustion procedures for volatile and non-volatile carbon content. Data are presented on elemental concentration and carbon composition in fine particles from the early, middle, and final stages of burning of pine, oak, poplar, and sweetgum. Comparisons are also made between the aerosol masses collected using the S/sup 2/ sampler and those collected using EPA Reference Method 5.
