  1. Secondary Aerosol Formation from Combustion Aerosols Joakim Pagels Div. Aerosol Technology (EAT)

  2. Objectives ? • Improved understanding of the contribution from combustion sources to secondary aerosol formation, importance for both health and climate • Primary and secondary emission factors • Influence of transformation on composition, morphology, hygroscopic • properties and optical properties • Implement in-situ techniques to determine composition and morphology • Sources studied in chamber upon UV and O3 exposure • Biomass combustion/Wood smoke emissions • Engine emissions • Indoor sources, e.g. Incense, Fragrance products, • Building material etc • Field measurements in indoor and outdoor air • Identify SOA signatures in indoor and outdoor air • Transformations from outdoor to indoor air • Team: Joakim Pagels, Mats Bohgard, Anders Gudmundsson, Christina Isaxon, Erik Swietlicki, Pontus Roldin,....... new diploma workers and external co-workers

  10. Aerosol Particle Mass analyzer (APM) (Ehara et al., 1997) Inner electrode Aerosol entrance r2 r1 High voltage w Outer electrode Mass classified aerosol exit Z • Select particles of known mass even • for agglomerates • In-situ measurment of particle morphology • Determine mass fractions of condensed • species in secondary aerosol formation

  11. Planned activities 2008 • Implementation of Aerosol Mass Spectrometer PhD/MSc projects • Pilot study on ageing of indoor combustion aerosols (incense and ETS) using O3 as oxidant. • Field measurements in Vavihill • Implementation of Aerosol Particle Mass Analyzer PhD/MSc project • Morphology and Mass-Mobility relationship of welding and candle soot agglomerates. • Preparing aerosol chamber for UV exposure experiments 2009-2010 • Measurements of fresh and aged wood smoke in Umeå. • Measurements of fresh and aged engine exhaust in Chamber. • Field measurements using AMS in indoor and outdoor air

  12. Other Projects/Long Term Goals • A detailed understanding of the processes involved in transforming combustion aerosols in outdoor and indoor environments. • To predict influence of processing on chemical composition, hygroscoppic properties, optical properties, morphology and other health and climate relevant properties • Influence of chemical composition, morphology/surface area/particle size on health effects of airborne particles • Lung deposition of highly agglomerated nano particles using modified RESPI • Apply the AMS to measure chemically resolved lung deposition • Cell exposures to complement human exposures and allow detailed studies on the influence of composition, size surface are etc on health effects • Building a deposition chamber for cell exposures which mimics deposition in the respiratory tract • Use secondary combustion aerosols in human exposure studies
