Air quality implications of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

During the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill, a wide range of gas and aerosol species were measured from an aircraft around, downwind, and away from the DWH site. Additional hydrocarbon measurements were made from ships in the vicinity. Aerosol particles of respirable sizes were on occasions a significant air quality issue for populated areas along the Gulf Coast.

Historic PM/PM Concentrations in the Southeastern United States-Potential Implications of the Revised Particulate Matter Standard.

This report summarizes a PM/PM particulate matter data set consisting of 861 PM/PM sample pairs collected with dichotomous samplers by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) from 1982 to 1991. Eight monitoring stations, ranging from urban-industrial to rural-background, were operated across three east-central U.S.
