Single-particle characterization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in background air in northern Europe

Johannes Passig et al.

Summary: The distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on ambient aerosol particles in a pristine environment on the Swedish western coast was investigated. The study utilized single-particle mass spectrometry to reveal both the inorganic particle composition and particle-bound PAHs. The results showed that most PAH-containing particles were internal mixtures of carbonaceous material, secondary nitrate, and metals from distant sources in central and eastern Europe. Additionally, the study provided insights into the particles' origin, aging, and mixing state through the analysis of single-particle PAH spectra and inorganic composition.

Vacuum Laser Photoionization inside the C-trap of an Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer: Resonance-Enhanced Multiphoton Ionization High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry

Paul Koesling et al.

Summary: A novel compact ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometer with gas-phase laser ionization has been developed and evaluated, showing exceptional mass resolution and analytical capabilities for complex mixture characterization. The system, with direct laser photoionization in an Orbitrap mass spectrometer, demonstrates high selectivity and efficiency in ionization of aromatic hydrocarbons, allowing for rapid system calibration and analysis of volatile and semivolatile compounds. The capability to accurately evaluate complex mixtures is highlighted, with hundreds of compounds identified with high mass accuracy and resolution, even detecting narrow mass splits and isobaric interferences. Detection limits similar to compact vacuum REMPI-ToF systems were achieved for specific compounds.

Comparing emissions of polyaromatic hydrocarbons and metals from marine fuels and scrubbers

Anna Lunde Hermansson et al.

Summary: New global regulations implemented in January 2020 limit the maximum sulphur content in marine fuels. Installing exhaust gas cleaning systems can lead to increased discharge of pollutants into the marine environment. Considering environmental loads and impact of contaminants from shipping, it is crucial to include both the marine and the atmospheric perspectives for a comprehensive evaluation.

Detection of ship plumes from residual fuel operation in emission control areas using single-particle mass spectrometry

Johannes Passig et al.

Summary: Ships contribute significantly to global air pollution, with sulfur emission control areas (SECAs) established to improve air quality in coastal areas. Monitoring ship emissions in open water is challenging, but using single-particle mass spectrometry (SPMS) to analyze metal content of emissions can detect pollution from several kilometers away, underscoring the importance of cleaner fuels and exhaust-cleaning technologies.
