  2. Proposed Research Areas of Highest Priority • Driven by: • ORD Clients: OAQPS, States/Local/Tribes, ORD Internal Needs • Implementation Needs • CENR PM Strategy; NARSTO Assessment • Overall Approach: • Fundamental Understanding • Focus on Standards and Reference Materials

  3. Proposed Research Areas of Highest Priority • Carbonaceous PM, A Major Focus: • New and Improved Methods, Quantifying Uncertainty, and Minimizing Artifacts for Collecting and Analyzing PM Collected on Filters for the Determination of: • Organic Aerosol and Semi-Volatile Species with an Emphasis on Source Apportionment Needs • Organic Carbon (OC) and Elemental Carbon (EC) • Biogenic vs. Anthropogenic Carbonaceous Material using Radiocarbon Methods

  4. Proposed Research Areas of Highest Priority • Highest Priority Areas • PMcoarse FRM/FEM • Organic Carbon and Elemental Carbon Collection and Analysis Methods • Sampling Artifacts for OC When Using Quartz Filters • Artifacts in EC and OC TOA Analysis • Optimization of TOA Protocol - Fundamental Approach • Development of OC and EC Standards; PM on Filters and Synthetic • Proportionality of OC to Organic Material (account for C, H, O, N)

  5. Proposed Research Areas of Highest Priority • Highest Priority Areas (continued) • Organic Aerosol Speciation with Focus on Source Apportionment • Development of Calibration Standards and Reference Materials for Source Tracer Species • Comparability Amongst Labs Nationwide Performing the Analyses (OC Workgroup) • OC Collection Methods Minimizing Interferences from SVOC Using Denuders and Reactive Filters • Biogenic vs Anthropogenic Sources of Carbon • Radiocarbon Methods

  6. Proposed Research Areas of Highest Priority • High Priority Areas • Continuous Methods for Mass, Major Components of PM Fine and Coarse,and Physical Properties • Gas Phase Precursors: Continuous and Integrated • Others
