Six combustion tests are performedwith two commonly burnedwoodfuel species, Douglas-ÿr ( Pseudotsuga sp.) andwhite oak ( Quercus sp.). Atmospheric dilutionandcooling of the aerosol plume are simulatedin a newly designedwindtunnel,andthe resulting aerosols are size classiÿedwith an electrical low-pressure impactor (ELPI). ELPI stage dataspeciatedby TD/GC/MS were invertedandmodeledusinga log normal distributionfunction. Gravimetrically determined PM2:5 (ÿne particles with aerodynamic diameters [da] ¡ 2:5 m) emission rates (2.3–10:2g=kg) corroborate to matrix-correctedELPI mass measurements of stages 1–8 (2.7–11 :8g=kg). Fuel moisture content linearly 2 correlates (r =0:986) to the PM2:5 mass geometric mean diameter (dg). Combustion eDciency (CO2=CO) andtemperature, O 2 levels, and gas dilution temperature aFect particle size distributions; dg ranges from 313 to 662 nm, indicating an accumulation mode. Reconstruction and summation of inverted ELPI data allow for the quantiÿcation of 27 individual PAHs (and clusters of structural PAH isomers); PAHs characterize between 0.01 and0 :07 wt% of the PM2:5 mass. Benzo[a]pyrene predominates the PAH emissions. PAH size allocations (dg range = 171–331 nm) are out of phase with PM2:5 mass ones andshiftedto ÿner da. Higher andlower MW PAHs preferentially segregate to ÿne andcoarse da in that order. The ultraÿne mode contains on average greater than 80% of the total measuredparticle number concentration. Values of dg for particulate matter surface area distributionsare between 120 and330 nm. For these tests, PAH mass andPM surface area linearly correlate (r2 ¿ 0:913).

Introduction Substantial evidence links respirable particulate matter (PM) to human morbidity and mortality, especially in susceptible subpopulations (Dockery et al., 1993; Pope, 2000; Samet, Dominici, Curriero, Coursac, & Zeger, 2000). Deposition eDciency of PM in respiratory tract zones (tracheo- bronchial, pulmonary, nasopharyngeal, and thoracic) of humans is size dependent (Phalen et al., 1991; Swift, 1995; Balashazy, Hofmann, & Heistracher, 1999); ÿne particles (aerodynamic diameter, da, ¡2:5 m, PM2:5) for example are primarily conÿnedto the lower respiratory zones ( Tsuda, Rogers, Hydon, & Butler, 2002). Discrete size classiÿcations [coarse (da ¡ 10 m, PM10), ÿne, andultraÿne (da ¡ 0:1 m)] of PM of urban air induce diFerent biological toxicity in in vitro and in vivo models due in part to their chemical compositions varying by size (Diociaiuti et al., 2001; Hauser, Godleski, Hatch, & Christiani, 2001; OberdQorster, 2001). With several anthropogenic andbiogenic source types contributing to the airborne ÿne PM mixture, comprehension of the chemical composition by size on a source category basis is essential from air quality modeling, regulatory, and health standpoints. Aerosol time-of-Right-mass-spectrometry (ATOFMS) (Silva & Prather, 1997; Silva, Liu, Noble, & Prather, 1999), temperature-programmedthermal desorptionparticle beam mass spectrometry (TPTDP) (Tobias & Ziemann, 1999; Tobias et al., 2001) andoF-line analysis of impactor col- lection substrates (Kleeman, Schauer, & Cass, 1999, 2000) are examples of approaches usedto size segregate andchemically proÿle source emissions. On-line ATOFMS classiÿes in real time the inor- ganic andorganic chemical species of individuallysizedparticles but is limitedto chemical species identiÿcation. From the standpoint of the organic chemical composition of nanoparticles within a deÿned size mode, TPTDP discriminates further than ATOFS but is only semi-quantitative to date. In comparison, impactor-based, oF-line methods are quantitative and can be applied to determine organic andelemental carbon, trace element, andwater-soluble ion (sulfate, nitrate, andammonium) concentrations within impactor-resolvedparticle size fractions. In airborne PM, size distributions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (see, for exam- ple, Allen et al., 1998 or OFenberg & Baker, 1999), some of which are employedas molecular markers for source apportionment, andoxygenatedPAHs ( Allen et al., 1997) were determined by impactor-based methods in past work. The thermal desorption/gas chromatography/mass spectrome- try (TD/GC/MS) approach of Falkovich andRudich(2001) , in particular, overcomes many of the signiÿcant analytical challenges associatedwith the examination of organics in the airborne PM. Their methodrequires no sample preparation, small sample mass, is rapid,sensitive, andaccurate and would, on a temporal basis, oFer better resolution of episodic air pollution events. As eForts in- tensify to develop air quality models that consider size-based particle chemistry, the development of precise size-resolved source proÿles is desirable. To the best of our knowledge, size distribution data of individual organic species from carbon-based emission sources using the thermal desorption (TD) M.D. Hays et al. / Aerosol Science 34 (2003) 1061–1084 1063 technique are virtually nonexistent. These data are needed to advance air quality model predictions of air parcels pollutedwith size-distributedchemicalmixtures. In this work, a direct(TD/GC/MS) methodis utilizedto determinethe PAH composition in size-segregatedPM from RWC, a major ÿne PM source. In the US alone, RWC emits PM to the atmosphere at a rate of 1:1 × 106 metric tons=yr, andup to 30% of the atmospheric PM Rux in the winter months in certain regions can be attributedto RWC ( Nolte, Schauer, Cass, & Simoneit, 2001). In emerging countries, it is a signiÿcant source of ÿne PM in poorly ventilatedindoorair ( Oanh, Nghiem, & Phyu, 2002). These particles by mass (≈ 95%) have da ¡ 400 nm, are rich in organic carbon (¿ 70%), chemically complex, adversely impact health (Larson & Koenig, 1994; Pintos, Franco, Kowalski, Oliveira, & Curado, 1998) andare mutagenic ( Oanh et al., 2002). Because this toxicity andthe PAHs in PM may be linked( Schoey, 1998; Vinggaard, Hnida, & Larsen, 2000), we closely examine the size distribution of a wide molecular weight range (202–302 amu) of PAHs from RWC. Relative PAH concentrations can vary with combustion andwoodfuel conditions;thus, wood combustion appliances, Rame phases, andfuels of diFerentmoisture contents andspecies ( Quercus sp. and Pseudotsuga sp.) were studied. 2. Experimental 2.1. Fuels Two woodfuel species, Douglas-ÿr ( Pseudotsuga sp.) andwhite oak ( Quercus sp.), were selected for testing. These fuels rankedamong the top 10 in a nationwide(UnitedStates) availability indexfor residential wood burning (Fine, Cass, & Simoneit, 2001). Fuel sources were collectedfrom northern Durham County, NC (oak) andreceivedfrom Myren Consulting of Colville, WA (Douglas-ÿr). Wet oak samples were gatheredandsplit on the dayof testing. Wet oak logs were stored(if necessary) in stacks outside, intact, and uncovered. Dry oak samples were split upon delivery and stored inside the woodstove laboratory. The Douglas-ÿr samples at two moisture levels were shipped in large wooden crates, where they remaineduntil testing. On each fuel subsample, moisture contents (Table 1) were measuredas receivedusing ASTM methodsD2961, D3302, D3173. Pre-burn fuel compositions with ASTM methodD3176 were also obtainedon each fuel subsample andshowedvirtually identical atomic mass wt/wt values. Found: C, 42.2–42.8; H, 6.6–6.8; N, ¡ 0:5; O, 50.4–51.3; S, ¡ 0:05; Cl, 20–33 ppm. All values are given as percentages unless notedotherwise. 2.2. Fuel combustion Six combustion experiments were performedin a wood-ÿredtestfacility detailedbyothers ( Purvis, McCrillis, & Kariher, 2000; Gullett, Touati, & Hays, 2003). The facility houses residential ÿreplace (MRC42A; Majestic, Ontario, Canada) and noncatalytic woodstove (3100; Quadraÿre, Colville, WA) appliances, both of which were engaged here. The woodstove was freestanding, fabricated from steel andhada glass windowin the front door.The zero-clearance ÿreplace containeda log grate andglass door.These units were typical of those currently available to consumers in US markets andtestedin previous

The experi- ments were conducted using aerosol mass spectrometry coupled with tunable vacuum ultraviolet radiation from the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Mass spectra and photoion- ization efficiency (PIE) curves of soot precursor species were measured at different heights in a premixed flat flame and in a counter-flow diffusion flame fueled by ethylene and oxygen. The PIE curves at the pyrene mass from these flames were compared with reference PIE scans recorded for pyrene. The results demonstrate that other C 16 H 10 isomers than pyrene are major components among species condensed onto incipient soot in this study, which is in agreement with the simulations.

  • Temperature-Induced Oligomerization of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Temperature-induced oligomerization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons at ambient Received: 7 June 2017 Accepted: 10 July 2017 and high pressures Published: xx xx xxxx Artem D. Chanyshev 1,2, Konstantin D. Litasov1,2, Yoshihiro Furukawa3, Konstantin A. Kokh1,2 & Anton F. Shatskiy1,2 Temperature-induced oligomerization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was found at 500–773 K and ambient and high (3.5 GPa) pressures. The most intensive oligomerization at 1 bar and 3.5 GPa occurs at 740–823 K. PAH carbonization at high pressure is the fnal stage of oligomerization and occurs as a result of sequential oligomerization and polymerization of the starting material, caused by overlapping of π-orbitals, a decrease of intermolecular distances, and fnally the dehydrogenation and polycondensation of benzene rings. Being important for building blocks of life, PAHs and their oligomers can be formed in the interior of the terrestrial planets with radii less than 2270 km. High-pressure transformations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and benzene become extremely important due to wide applications for example in graphene- and graphene-based nanotechnology1–3, synthesis of organic superconductors4, 5, petroleum geoscience, origin of organic molecules in Universe and origin of life. In particular, PAHs were found in many space objects: meteorites6–8, cometary comae9, interstellar clouds and planetary nebulas10–12. Although the prevalent hypothesis for the formation of these PAHs is irradiation-driven polymerization of smaller hydrocarbons13, alternative explanation could be shock fragmentation of carbonaceous solid material11. PAH-bearing carbonaceous material could contribute to the delivery of extraterrestrial organic materials to the prebiotic Earth during the period of heavy bombardment of the inner Solar System from 4.5 to 3.8 Ga ago14–16.

These values are multipliers and are PAH-specific. • Once all PAH concentrations are adjusted to account for their relative toxicity as compared to BaP, the concentrations are summed • This summed concentration is then compared to the toxicity value for BaP, which is used as the ABC for total PAHs. Source of PEFs for PAHs • EPA provides a range of values of PEFs for each PAH • Original proposal suggested using upper-bound value of each PEF range as the PEF to use for adjustment of our PAHs • Average PEF value for each PAH is a better approximation of central tendency, and is consistent with the use of PEFs by other agencies • Result of using average, rather than upper-bound PEFs: slightly lower summed concentrations for adjusted PAHs, thus less apt to exceed ABC for total PAHs Documents can be provided upon request in an alternate format for individuals with disabilities or in a language other than English for people with limited English skills.

External Editor: Dennis N. Kevill Received: 8 November 2014; in revised form: 21 November 2014 / Accepted: 1 December 2014 / Published: 8 December 2014 Abstract: Three dialkylamino-substituted perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydrides with different n-alkyl chain lengths (n = 6, 12 or 18), 1a–1c, were synthesized under mild conditions in high yields and were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and high resolution mass spectroscopy. Their optical and electrochemical properties were measured using UV-Vis and emission spectroscopic techniques, as well as cyclic voltammetry (CV). This is the first time that the structures and the properties of monoamino-substituted perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydrides have been reported. These molecules show a deep green color in both solution and the solid state and are soluble in most organic solvents. They all show a unique charge transfer emission in the near-infrared region, and the associated peaks exhibit solvatochromism. The dipole moments of the compounds have been estimated using the Lippert-Mataga equation, and upon excitation, they show slightly larger dipole moment changes than those of corresponding perylene diimides, 2a–2c.

    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Supplemental Comments of Safer Chemicals Healthy Families, Earthjustice, Environmental Health Strategy Center, Natural Resources Defense Council and the Undersigned Groups on EPA’s Draft Risk Evaluation for C.I. Pigment Violet 29 under the Amended Toxic Substances Control Act Submitted via Regulations.gov (May 17, 2019) Docket ID EPA-HQ-OPPT-2018-0604 INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Safer Chemicals Healthy Families (SCHF), Earthjustice, Environmental Health Strategy Center, Natural Resources Defense Council, and the undersigned groups submit these supplemental comments on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) draft risk evaluation for C.I. Pigment Violet 29 (PV29) under section 6(B) of the Toxic SuBstances Control Act (TSCA).1 Our organizations are committed to assuring the safety of chemicals used in our homes, schools and workplaces and in the many products to which our families and children are exposed each day. During the legislative process to amend TSCA, we worked hard to maximize public health protection and to assure that EPA has the necessary authority to evaluate and eliminate the risks of unsafe chemicals. We strongly support a proactive approach to implementing the new law that uses the improved tools that Congress gave EPA to deliver significant health and environmental benefits to the American public. On April 17, 2019,2 EPA reopened the comment period on the PV29 evaluation for 30 days in order to receive feedback on supplemental materials it had added to the PV29 docket. These materials include portions of 24 studies on PV29 that the Agency had initially withheld as Confidential Business Information (CBI), as well as updated systematic review files and backup scoring sheets.
