Dry deposition study by using dry deposition plate and water surface sampler in Shalu, central Taiwan.

This study presents the chemical composition of dry deposition by using dry deposition plate and water surfaces sampler during daytime and nighttime sampling periods at a near highway traffic sampling site. In addition, the characterization for mass and water soluble species of total suspended particulate (TSP), PM2.5 and PM10 were also studied at this sampling site during August 22 to October 31 of 2006 around central Taiwan.

Characterization, identification of ambient air and road dust polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in central Taiwan, Taichung.

The concentrations of ambient air polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were measured simultaneously in an industrial area (Taichung Industrial Park, TIP) and suburban area (Tunghai University, THU) in central Taiwan, Taichung. A total of samples were collected simultaneously at the two sites between August 2002 and March 2003. Particle-bound PAHs (p-PAHs) were collected on quartz filters and gas-phase PAHs (g-PAHs) on glass cartridges using polyurethane foam sampler, respectively.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the ambient air of suburban and industrial regions of central Taiwan.

The concentrations of gas-phase and particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were measured simultaneously at an industrial area (Taichung Industrial Park) and a suburban area (Tunghai University Campus) in Taichung, Taiwan. Twenty-four hours samplings for two consecutive days were performed between August and December 2002 at both sampling sites. Ambient air particle-bound PAHs were collected on quartz filters and gas-phase PAHs were collected on glass cartridges using a PUF Sampler, respectively.

Characterization of particulate, metallic elements of TSP, PM(2.5) and PM(2.5-10) aerosols at a farm sampling site in Taiwan, Taichung.

Atmospheric aerosol particles and metallic concentrations were monitored at the Experimental Farm of Tunghai University (EFTU) sampling site in this study. Total suspended particulate matter (TSP) was collected by using a PS-1 sampler at the farm-sampling site, in central Taiwan, from July 2001 to April 2002. At the same time, PM(2.

Suspended particulate variations and mass size distributions of incense burning at Tzu Yun Yen temple in Taiwan, Taichung.

Ambient suspended particulate concentrations were measured at Tzu Yun Yen temple in this study. This is characteristic place of incense burning and indoor air pollution sampling site. A universal sampler, micro-orifice uniform deposited impactor (MOUDI) sampler and dry deposition plate were used to measure particulate concentrations.
