The study of adverse effects of air pollution requires semi-continuous, rapid and accurate measurements of inorganic species in aerosols and their gas phase components in ambient air. The most promising instruments, often referred to as steam collecting devices, are the Particle-Into-Liquid-Sampler (PILS) coupled to wet-chemical analyzers such as a cation and/or anion chromatograph (IC) and the Monitoring instrument for AeRosols and GAses (MARGA) with two integrated ICs. Both instruments comprise gas denuders, a condensation particle growth sampler as well as pump and control devices. While PILS uses two consecutive fixed denuders and a downstream growth chamber, the MARGA system is composed of a Wet Rotating Denuder (WRD) and a Steam-Jet Aerosol Collector (SJAC). Although the aerosol samplers of PILS and MARGA use different assemblies, both apply the technique of growing aerosol particles into droplets in a supersaturated water vapor environment. Previously mixed with carrier water, the collected droplets are continuously fed into sample loops or preconcentration columns for on-line IC analysis. While PILS has been designed to sample aerosols only, MARGA additionally determines water-soluble gases. Compared to the classical denuders, which remove gases from the air sample upstream of the growth chamber, MARGA collects the gaseous species in a WRD for on-line analysis. In contrast to the gases, aerosols have low diffusion speeds and thus neither dissolve in the PILS denuders nor in the WRD. Proper selection of the ion chromatographic conditions of PILS-IC allows a precise determination, within 4 to 5 minutes, of seven major inorganic species (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, NO3- and SO4 2-) in fine aerosol particles. With longer analysis times (10-15 minutes) even airborne low-molecular-weight organic acids, such as acetate, formate and oxalate can be analyzed. MARGA additionally facilitates the simultaneous determination of HCl, HNO3, HNO2, SO2 and NH3.PILS and MARGA provide semi-continuous, long-term stand-alone measurements (1 week) and can measure particulate pollutants in the ng/m3 range.

この研究では、オフラインの手動フィルター抽出とそれに続くイオンクロマトグラフ分析を含むフィルターベースの方法で得られた空気サンプリングデータを、イオンクロマトグラフ（PILS-IC）に接続された自動Particle-Into-Liquid-Samplerで得られたデータと比較します。 -ICは、エアロゾルサンプリング用の簡単な機器であり、長期間の無人操作をほぼリアルタイムで測定できるため、エアロゾル粒子のイオン組成の急激な変化を監視するために不可欠なツールです。

This poster presents an approach that couples a Particle-Into-Liquid-Sampler (PILS) to a dual-channel ion chromatograph (IC) for measurement of aerosol anions and cations and a voltammetric measuring stand (VA) to determine the heavy metals. Feasibility of the PILS-IC-VA online system was demonstrated by collecting aerosol samples in Herisau Switzerland, at defined time intervals; air pollution events were simulated by burning lead- and cadmium-coated sparklers.

ホルムアルデヒドは DME で還元的に測定することが可能です。サンプル組成によって、サンプルでホルムアルデヒドを直接測定できるかどうかは異なります。干渉が生じる場合、吸収、抽出、または蒸留などのサンプル前処理が必要となります。ここでは2つのメソッドについて説明します。1つ目のメソッドでは、ホルムアルデヒドはアルカリ性溶液にて直接還元されます。高濃度のアルカリ度またはアルカリ土類金属は干渉します。このような場合は、2つ目のメソッドを使用することができます。ホルムアルデヒドは、酸性溶液にてポーラログラフィーによって測定することのできるヒドラゾンを形成するヒドラジンを用いて誘導体化されます。

As a result of the private burning of wood, concentrations of levoglucosan, mannosan, and galactosan in the air are usually increased during the winter months. On the other hand, one can expect a greater contribution of sugar components from biogenic sources during the summer months. An optimum separation and sensitivity of the saccharide markers that accumulate on air filters can be achieved on the Metrosep Carb 2 - 150/4.0 column with subsequent pulsed amperometric detection.

Azide may be formed during the production of certain pharmaceutical products. It can cause explosions during manufacturing. Therefore, its concentration in the air needs to be monitored in order to prevent such accidents. Azide (N3-) is well separated from standard anions on the Metrosep A Supp 5 - 250/4.0 under standard conditions.

イオンクロマトグラフィにより、廃棄物焼却プラントからの粉塵中のヒ素の測定ができます。これは環境リスクがヒ素種の酸化の程度に依存するため必要です。各アニオンのpKaが異なるため、セレン酸塩はサプレッサなしの伝導度検出器が必要ですが、ヒ素酸塩はサプレッサと相性が良いです。両方の測定には、サプレッサを切り替えることによって行えます。

This article describes the composition of atmospheric inorganic gases and aerosols in the Southeast and Northwest of the United States during a time period of several weeks. The semicontinuous sampling in hourly cycles takes place using the MARGA system from Metrohm Applikon. The temporal resolution of the aerosol and gas composition makes it possible to generate statements regarding the chemical origin and hygroscopicity of the particles. These are fundamental for rating the influence of aerosols on the climate.
