Definitions
Optical properties: Black carbon– Is formed by incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon
fuels, and is the most effective component of PM, by mass, at absorbing solar energy
– Mass of combustion-generated, sp2-bonded carbon that absorbs the same amount of light as the emitted particles. Absorption efficiency of the reference particles as 7 m2/g for 550-nm incident radiation (Bond 2004)
Thermal stability: Elemental carbon Structure: Soot Composition: Carbonaceous aerosol (includes OC)

BC mixing – uncertainties in light absorption
Black carbonJana Moldanová, 2013-04-24
Measurement methods
Optical (BC)– in situ (Aethalometer)– filter analyses (Reflectande, trasmitance, Aethalometer,
MAAP) Thermal (EC/OC)
– NIOSH, Improve, EUCAARI, VDI Photo-acoustic (measures heat generated by absorbed
radiation)
Black carbonJana Moldanová, 2013-04-24
Optical Methods Sampling on filter matrix Measurement of modification of filter optical properties
by the sampled PM Assumption of Beer-Lambert law for data analyses Response depends on filter loading and interaction
between radiation, particles, and filter - requires corrections
Black carbonJana Moldanová, 2013-04-24
Multi-angle absorption photometer – both reflection and transmission – 2-stream model applied to evaluate results, no corrections
Optical Methods
Black carbonJana Moldanová, 2013-04-24
Thermal methods Simple optical methods (oxidizing atmosphere, rizing T) Two-step methods (thermal pre-treatment to remove OC) Thermal-optical (optical correction for charring OC) Thermal stability and the optical correction can be
affected by presence of sulphate and metals in the PM

PM composition affects thermal stability

Conclusions Definition of BC is dependent of measurement technique used
but also of impacts that are assumed (political definition) Both optical and thermal methods give satisfactory results,
impacts of PM composition on thermal methos need further consideration, further intercomparison of optical methods
Emission factors for BC and their variability with fuels, combustion conditions, technologies e.t.c. needs to be further developed
Consistency between PM and BC data important PM composition affect both measurement results and how the
particles behave in atmosphere (radiative properties, sink processes, health effects (?)
Relation between BC/EC emission at source and properties of these particles on mesoscale
