Assessing the Impact of Industrial Source Emissions on Atmospheric Carbonaceous Aerosol Concentrations Using Routine Monitoring Networks

Abstract Industrial sources can have a significant but poorly defined impact on ambient particulate matter concentrations in select areas. Detailed emission profiles are often not available and are hard to develop because of the diversity of emissions across time and space at large industrial complexes. A yearlong study was conducted in an industrial area in Detroit, MI, which combined real-time particle mass (tapered element oscillating microbalance) and black carbon (aetholometer) measurements with molecular marker measurements of monthly average concentrations as well as daily concentrations of select high pollution days. The goal of the study was to use the real-time data to define days in which the particulate matter concentration in the atmosphere was largely impacted by local source emissions and to use daily speciation data to derive emission profiles for the industrial source. When combined with motor vehicle exhaust, wood smoke and road dust profiles, the industrial source profile was used to determine the contribution of the local industrial source to the total organic carbon (OC) concentrations using molecular marker-chemical mass balance modeling (MM-CMB). The MM-CMB analysis revealed that the industrial source had minimal impact on the monthly average carbonaceous aerosol concentration, but contributed approximately 2 [H9262]g m-3, or a little over one-third of the total OC, on select high-impact days.
