ABSTRACT

To allow for methods development and methods intercomparisons prior to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study the California Air Resources Board funded two methods intercomparison studies one in 1985 at Claremont concerning the measurement of nitrogenous species and a second at Citrus College Glendora during August 1986 dealing principally with measurement methods for organic and carbonaceous species In the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study (CSMCS at Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center conducted measurements of the ambient concentrations or several inorganic and organic species Specifically the following measurements were made

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02 nitrous acid (HONO) and formaldehyde (HCHO)

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR absorption specshytroscopy we measured nitric acid (HN03) amnonia (NH3) and HCH0

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber filters and these samples were analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and nitroarenes

An extensive data set for the gas-phase concentrations of N02 HONO HN03 HCHO NH3 and the N03 radical was obtained (by DOAS andor FT-IR spectroscopy) during this study period Significant concentrations of these pollutants were observed with ambient concentrations of up to approximately 140 45 30 20 and 15 parts-per-billion (ppb) for N02 HONO HN03 HCHO and NH~ respectively A definitive measurement of the time-concentration profne of N03 radicals was made on only one night during this study with a peak N03 radical concentration of 70 parts-pershytrillion (ppt) being measured on fhe night of August 13 The presence of N03 radicals at levels lt40 ppt was observed on the evenings of August 13 19 and 20

Ambient particulate organic matter POM) was collected on a 12-hr daytime and nighttime sampling period (0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT and was tested for mutagenicity towards Salmonella typhimur ium strains TA98 (with and without added S9) TA98NR (-S9) and TA981 8-DNP6 (-S9) The mutagen densities obtained were consistent with those we nave measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin As also observed previously the mutagen densities and mutagenic activity of the POM measured in the presence and absence of S9 we3e essentially indistinguishable with average mutagen densities rev m-) of 33 and 35 towards strain TA98 with

3and without S9 respectively and a maximum of 61 rev m- (TA98 -S9

Ambient air was also sampled on filters and solid adsorbents to collect the gas- and particle associated PAH and nitroarenes for combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis The following PAH and nitroarenes were observed and quantified naphthalene 1- and 2-methylshynaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)shyanthracene chrysenetriphenylene benzo(a)pyrene 1- and 2-nitronaphthashylene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3- and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitroshypyrene

I bull PROJECT SUMMARY

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides of nitrogen precursors are complex and

it is necessary to have measurements of the reactant and product species

in as detailed a manner as possible in order to provide a data base

suitable for input into airshed computer models These organic compounds

may be distributed between the gas and particle phases and hence measureshy

ments of their concentrations in both phases must be carried out In

order to allow for a methods development and methods intercomparison prior

to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California

Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two methods intercomparison studies one

in 1985 at Claremont concerning the measurement of nitrogenous species

and a second at Citrus College GleQdora during August of 1986 dealing

principally with the intercomparison of measurement methods for organic

and carbonaceous species

In the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study (CSMCS) at

Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center

(SAPRC) carried out the measurement of several inorganic and organic

species Specifically the following measurements were made

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS) we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02) nitrous acid (HONO) and

formaldehyde (HCHO

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption specshy

troscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) ammonia (NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF)

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbons PAH) and nitroarenes

The DOAS and FT-IR systems utilized 25 m base-path multiple-reflecshy

tion optical systems aligned parallel to one another with the optical

beams being -24 m above the ground surface An extensive data set for

the gas-phase concentrations of N02 HONO HN03 HCHO (by both DOAS and

FT-IR spectroscopy NH3 and the N03 radical was obtained during this

study period The complete data set is tabulated in detail in Sections IV

1-1

and V of this report and Figures I-1 and I-2 show the HCHO HN03 and NH3 time-concentration profiles obtained by FT-IR spectroscopy (Figure I-1)

and the HONO time-concentration profile as monitored by DOAS (Figure I-2)

respectively These two figures and the data presented in Sections IV and

V show that significant concentrations of these pollutants were present

during this sampling period with ambient concentrations of up to

approximately 140 45 30 20 and 15 ppb for N02 BONO HN03 HCHO and

w3 respectively A definitiVe measurement of the presence of No3 radicals was made only on one night during this study (due to the

detection limit for this species) with a peak N03 radical concentration

of 70 ppt being measured on the night of August 13 The presence of N03 radicals at levels lt40 ppt was observed on the evenings of August 13 19

and 20

Ambient particulate organic matter (POM) was collected on a 12-hr

daytime and nighttime sampling period (0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT) and

was tested for mutagenicity towards Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98

with and without added S9) TA98NR (-S9) and TA9818-DNP6 (-S9) The

measured mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of air sampled are given

in Table I-1 These mutagen densities are consistent with those we have

measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin As also observed

previously the mutagen densities and mutagenic activity of the POM

measured in the presence and absence of S9 are essentially indistinguishshy

able with average mutagen densities (strain TA98) of 33 and 35 rev bull-3 with and without S9 respectively

Ambient air was also sampled on filters and solid adsorbents in order

to collect the gas- and particle associated PAH and PAH-derivatives for

combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis Three collection

systems were used to sample ambient air low and high-flow ( 1 and 10 L

min- 1 respectively) cartridges packed with Tenax-GC solid adsorbent to

sample the volatile PAH such as naphthalene and the methylnaphthalenes

Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters backed up by polyurethane

foam (PUF plugs to sample the semi-volatile PAH and nitroarenes present

either in the gas phase or blown-off the filters during the collection

period and TIGF filters for the collection of POM containing the higher

molecular weight low-volatility PAH and nitroarenes The following PAH

seven locations in California at which sampling was to be conducted to

obtain data concerning the ambient levels of mutagenicity and of PAH

were exposed The Glendora site was chosen as the site impacted by

vehicle emissions The mutagenicity data and the concentrations of the

PAH and PAH-derivatives observed at this site are hence an integral part

of our ongoing study A Survey of Ambient Concentrations of Selected

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) at Various Locations in California

11 INTRODUCTION

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides or nitrogen precursors are exceedingly

complex and in order to provide a data base suitable for input into

airshed computer models it is necessary to have measurenents of the reacshytant and product species in as detailed a manner as possible Since these

organic compounds may be distributed between the gas anltI particle phases

measurements of both the gas- and particle-phase concentrations of organic

chemicals must be carried out In order to allow for a methods developshy

ment and methods intercomparison prior to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two

methods intercomparison studies one in 1985 at Clarsont concerning the

measurement of nitrogenous species and a second at Citrus College

Glendora during August of 1986 dealing principally with the intercomparishy

son or measurement methods for organic and carbonaceous species

In this Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study at Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Researcplusmn Center (SAPRC) was

involved in the measurement of a number of inorganic and organic species

Specifically we measured the atmospheric concentrations of the following compounds

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02 nitrous acid (HONO) and formaldehyde (HCHO)

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) anmonia NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyllethane foam PUF

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber TIGF filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbOns (PAH) and nitroarenes

Furthermore the measurements of the ambient atmspheric concentrashy

tions of PAH and PAH-derivatives at Citrus College formed one part of a

further ambient measurement study funded by the ARB Contract No AS-185-

32 dealing with the ambient concentrations of PAH ant PAR-derivatives at

11-1

seven sites throughout California impacted by differing combustion

emission sources The Citrus College site served as the vehicle emissionshyimpacted site for this study

The description or the site at Citrus College Glendora and the

experimental procedures and data obtained from these measurement methods are detailed in the following sections

111 DESCRIPTION OF SITE

As noted earlier this monitoring program was conducted in conshy

junction with the ARB-funded carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison

Study As shown in Figure 111-1 the ARB selected a site adjacent to the

football stadium on the campus of Citrus College for this study The

orientation and relationship of the long pathlength n-IR and OOAS systems

to other investigators is shown in Figure 111-2 The SAPRC high-volume

(Hi-vol) samplers were located Just north of the mobile vans and trailers

of other investigators The optical spectrometers were elevated on

concrete blocks to achieve a 24 m (8 ft) height for the optical beams in

order to minimize the influences or dry deposition of nitric acid and

other nitrogenous species This requirement necessitated a major

restructuring or the FT~IR and DOAS instrument supports In order to

augment the 12 m 4 ft height initially designed into the optical axes

or both of the long pathlength mirror assemblies while at the same time

preventing extraneous vibrations the spectrometers mirror systems and

their housings wereset on massive concrete blocks

Six 4 ft x 4 ft x 10 ft concrete structures were rented from the

Pyramid Precast company which provided the necessary machinery to

position the blocks on premarked areas at the study site Three of these

blocks constituted the support platform for the FT-IR and DOAS assemblies

at each end of the optical path (see Figure 111-2) New 9 ft x 12 ft

sheds were procured and constructed on these platforms during the last

week of August and the first week of September Subsequent assembly and

testing of the spectrometers and optical systems was completed in time for

the scheduled start of the field study on September 11 1985

As shown in Figure 111-2 the two SAPRC 25 m basepath optical systems

were set up parallel to each other and to the scaffolding which supported

most of the samplers from other groups participating in the intercomparishy

son study The optical systems were aligned in a north-south orientation

to minimize scattered light problems at sunrise and sunset and positioned

due west of the scaffolding and various mobile vans and trailers f The study period began at 0800 PDT on Tuesday August 12 and conshy

tinued until 0800 PDT on August 21 The FT-IR and DOAS systems operated

essentially continuously during this period with FT-IR spectra being

IV MEASUREMENTS OF HONO H()2 NO~ RADICALS AND HCHO BY DIFFERENTIAL OPTICAL ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

A Introduction

The development of a long pathlength OOAS system by Perner and Platt

1979) and its application and extension by these workers and by SAPRC

researchers Platt et al 1980ab 1981 1982 1984 Harris et al 1982

Pitts et al 1984ab 1985a) has provided a technique capable of sensishy

tive specific and time-resolved measurements of the ambient concentrashy

tions of a number of important atmospheric species including nitrous

acid formaldehyde the nitrate radical and nitrogen dioxide

In this section we briefly describe the design and operation of the

25 m basepath DOAS system employed to measure ambient levels of N03 radicals HONO N02 and HCHO during the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study and the results obtained during this measurement

period A more detailed description of the experimental system is provided in an earlier report to the ARB (Winer et al 1987)

B Experimental Methods

The 25 m basepath optical system (Figure IV-1) was of the threeshy

mirror White design but with an added corner reflector at the in-focus

end which effectively doubled its maximum pathlength capability The

mirrors were fabricated from 30 cm dia x 5 cm thick Pyrex blanks and

coated with a custom dielectric coating for optimum reflectivity in the spectral regions of interest

The DOAS system measures the ambient concentrations of trace

components which have distinct vibronic structures by their light

absorption in the near-ultraviolet (uv) and visible spectral regions

White light from a 75 W high pressure Xenon lamp was imaged by a spherical

mirror into the plane of the nesting (in-focus) mirror of the White cell

and then propagated through the multiple reflection optics until it

emerged from the system and was imaged onto the entrance slit of the

monochromator SPEX 1870 05 m) The light intensity was monitored by a

photomultiplier EMI 9659Q) and the signal acquired and averaged by a DEC

MINC 1123 minicomputer

With the DOAS a rotating slotted disk was used to allow rapid

scanning The slotted disk was formed by etching a set of exit slits (100

microm wide 10 m spacing) radially into a thin metal disk This disk was

rotated in the focal plane of the dispersed spectrua As each slit moved across the opening between the masks that block the two adjacent slits it

scanned a spectral range of -30-60 nm depending on the rotation frequency

of the slotted disk The orientation of the spectrometer grating

determined which specific spectral region was scanned As employed in its

final form in this program the slotted disk rotated at -4 Hz resulting in

a scan rate of -100 Hz well above the frequency distribution of

atmospheric turbulence (which otherwise would introduce unwanted structure

into the spectra)

As a slit became visible at the edge of the mask it was detected by

an infrared photodiode A trigger signal was sent to the computer which

continuously recorded digitized samples of the light intensity as the slit

scanned across the spectrum Since several tens of thousand such scans

were acquired and added in the computer memory within a few minutes this

improved the signal-to-noise ratio of the resulting spectrum The

rotational speed of the slotted disk was maintained constant to within

101j to preserve the spectral resolution while superimposing the scans

The computer was also used for spectral deconvolution and for the

calculation of optical densities

Since a single scan required only -10 msec atmospheric scintillation

effects had little effect on the signal Moreover since typically (2-8)

x 104 individual scans were recorded and signal-averaged over each several

minute measurement period even complete but momentary interruption of

the light beam had no appreciable effect on the final spectrum Except

under the haziest conditions stray light effects were negligible due to

the instruments narrow field of view -8 x 10-5 steradians] and in any

case stray light could be taken into account by means of appropriate

background spectra

The concentrations of atmospheric species were derived from Beers

Law However since the light intensity in the absence of any absorption

(1 0 ) cannot be obtained with this technique the differential optical

density was employed and thus only those compounds which have structured

absorption spectra could be measured Table IV-1 gives the characteristic

IV-3

absorption bands and detection limits for a number of atmospheric species

of interest based on a km pathlength It can be seen that the

detection limits range from 3 ppb for HCHO down to -10 ppt for the N03 radical For automatic scanning of spectra 32 or 40 reflections (corresshy

ponding to pathlengths of 800 and 1000 m respectively) were generally

employed and the corresponding detection limits for quantitative analyses

were then 06-07 ppb for HONO and 13-16 ppt for N03 radicals

C Results and Discussion

The SAPRC 25 m basepath DOAS system was set up at the Glendora site

in the specific orientation relative to other experiments conducted

during this field study as described in Section III

Essentially continuous DOAS measurements were conducted from August

13 until the morning of August 21 1986 Maximum ozone levels and peak

concentrations of N03 radicals during this study are sUD1Darized in Table

IV-2 Individual concentrations of HONO HCHO and N02 observed during

this period are given in tabular form in Appendix B and hourly average

data for these species are given in Tables IV-3 to IV-5 For the

majority of the time the pathlength was set to 800 m with a detection

limit equivalent to an optical density of 3 x o-14 bull The data reduction

process was more automated than previously and thus the detection limit was raised from 2 x 10-4 to 3 x 10-4 OD to offset the tendency of the

software to interpret noise at the detection limit as a peak The

corresponding detection limits were N02 35 ppb HOHO 08 ppb and

HCHO 45 ppb

Because the HONO and HCHO bands are overlapped by N02 bands and N02 is more abundant in the Los Angeles basin the DOAS spectra must be first

analyzed for N02 to enable its features to be quantitatively removed prior

to determining HONO and HCHO concentrations Figure IV-2 shows the timeshy

concentration profile for N02 from 0000 PDT on August 13 to 0800 PDT on

August 21 The solid line shows the DOAS data while the dashed line

shows measurements made by our chemiluminescence oxides of nitrogen

analyzer The two curves track each other very well during the nighttime

and early morning hours In the afternoon the NOx analyzer consistently

read 10 to 30 ppb higher since the DOAS values at those times were as low

as 15-25 ppb this caused a discrepancy of a factor of two or more The

higher values measured by the chemiluminescence method are attributed to

the known interferences of HN03 and PAN in this detection method

consistent with the levels or HN03 and PAN in the afternoon periods being

approximately equivalent to this difference in the DOAS N02 and chemilshy

uminescence N0x-H0 readings

After the quantitative removal of the N02 features from the OOAS

spectra the data reduction procedure utilized a simultaneous leastshy

squares fit or HON0 and HCHO reference spectra to the residual ambient air

spectra Figure IV-3 shows the time concentration profile for HCHO as

determined by DOAS (solid line) For comparison the FT-IR data from

Section V are shown as the dashed line The agreement between the two

methods is very good with the discrepancies being within the error

limits However it appears that the OOAS results for the first four

nights are consistently higher than the FT-IR data by about 1-3 ppb This

could be due to an overestimation of HCH0 absorption features in the OOAS

spectra since the reported FT-IR HCH0 levels were at or below the DOAS

detection limit of 45 ppb (where the signal-to-noise ratio was near

unity)

Finally the H0N0 time-concentration profile for August 13-21 is

presented in Figure IV-4 No comparison data are available for HON0 for

this study However as discussed above the only source of a large

systematic error would be the literature value for the HON0 absorption

cross-sections used in the calculations During the Citrus College field

study nighttime HON0 levels were higher than observed in the 1985

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study at Claremont where the maximum

HON0 concentrations were in the range 15 to 25 ppb For five of the

nights at Citrus College the HON0 concentrations were also in the same

range However for three nights H0N0 levels attained -35 ppb and

during the last night of the study H0N0 reached a maximum of Jamp5 ppb

There was however no correlation of the HON0 concentrations to the

nighttime N02 levels which were relatively constant at 60-75 ppb Since

the heterogeneous formation of H0N0 from N02 involves moisture correlashy

tions to other parameters such as relative humidity and particulate

loading may prove interesting

V LONG PATHLENGTH FT-IR MEASUREMENTS OF HN03 NH3 AND HCHO

A Introduction

As discussed elsewhere in more detail (Winer et al 1987) the long

pathlength FT-IR system was employed to provide benchmark data for the

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study held at Pomona College

(Claremont) in September 1985 Following this the FT-IR spectrometer

participated in our winter field study at El Camino CoDJDUnity College

(Torrance) Due to a need for a more detailed comparison of HN03 measurements by the FT-IR and tunable diode laser spectroscopic (TDLS)

methods than had been possible during the 1985 Claremont study the

longpath FT-IR system was subsequently set up in Glendora on the Citrus

College campus for more intensive measurements of HN03 and NH3 between

August 12-21 1986 In this study species coverage by the FT-IR method

was extended to include the measurement of formaldehyde (HCH0) Attempts

were also made to detect N2o5 in ambient air by thorough examination of

the spectra recorded in the late afternoon and evening hours Alllllonia

(NH3) was included among middot the species measured since in certain

localities it can profoundly affect the concentration of gaseous HN03 by

its reaction to form aerosol anmonium nitrate (Doyle et al 1979 Tuazon

et al 1980)

B Experimental

1 Kilometer Pathlength FT-IR System

Measurements of ambient air pollutants by infrared spectroscopy

were carried out using a recently constructed 25-m basepath open

multiple-reflection optical system interfaced to a Mattson Instruments

Inc Sirius 100 FT-IR spectrometer This spectr0111eter has a maximum

resolution capability of 0125 cm-1 and is equipped with a Motorola 68000-

based data system The long pathlength optics are of the three-mirror

White design (White 1942) with provisions for adding a corner reflector

at the in-focus end (Horn and Pimentel 1971) when desired to effectively

double the systems pathlength The mirrors in this new optical system

were fabricated from 30 cm diameter 6 cm thick Pyrex blanks and goldshy

coated for the best reflectivity (~99J) in the infrared The optimum

pathlength for monitoring was determined to be in the 1-1 5 km range

V-1

during routine operation although short-term use or optical patha greater

than 2 km were possible

As discussed in Section Ill the long pathlengtb FT-IR spectrometer

was operated alongside the long pathlength DOAS systell as shown in Figure

V-1 The optical layout of the FT-IR system is preaented in more detail

in Figure V-2 The sets or mirrors of the two spectrometers were arrayed

in opposite directions but aligned side by side in a compact arrangement

which made possible simultaneous analyses of virtually the same air

mass The FT-IR spectrometer was housed in an air conditioned shed while

the multiple reflection mirror assembly outside was shaded from direct

sunlight by protective shields While the spectrometer system had an

initial height of 1 2 m (above ground level) designed into the optical

axis this was raised to a total of 24 m (8 ft) the C0111110n sampling

height required for all analytical techniques being compared during this

field study Massive concrete blocks were employed as support structures

to attain this sampling height

2 Acquisition of Spectra

Spectra were recorded at a pathlength of 1150 meters and 0125 1cm- resolution unapodized) Sixty-four scans interferograms) were

added during a 45-min period and then transformed (calculation time of

-25 min) to a single beam spectrum Each spectrUII of 128 K points was 1truncated and the spectral region from 400 to 3000 cm- which contained

the absorption bands of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 used for analysis was retained

and archived

Four to five spectra per hour were collected This rate or data

collection permitted a real-time examination of the quality of spectra

being recorded and such checks were consistently made during daytime and

early evening hours 0800-2200 PDT) During the noncritical period of

2200-0600 hours when nitric acid was expected to be below the detection

limit the FT-IR spectrometer was programed to conduct automatic

monitoring

expanded plot or the HN03 spectrum in the range 870-910 cm- 1 is presented

in Figure V-11 to which is added a middotqualitative single beam spectrum or 1clean ambient air at a pathlength of 1150 m The Q-branch at 896 1 cm-

was the most appropriate one for quantitative measureaent because or its

favorable half-width and minimal interference by ataaspheric water vapor

We restricted our measurements to the heights of the sharp absorption (Qshy

branch) features only since measurements which include the broad undershy

lying envelope were more susceptible to unknown interferences The 8854 1cm- Q-branch was totally free of interferences but its relatively

narrower line shape was more susceptible to distortion by noise while the 1strongest Q-branch at 8789 cm- was severely overlapped by a strong water

line

Of the numerous sharp features of the NH3 spectna depicted in Figure

V-3 the lines at 11034 and 8679 cm-1 though not the strongest suffer

the least interference by H2o and CO2 absorption lines and were therefore

the ones chosen for analysis The line positions of NH3 relative to those

of atmospheric H20 (and CO2) in the 1080-1120 cm-1 region are shown in

Figure V-5 The calibration procedure for trn3 was straightforward

Spectra were recorded at O 125 cm- 1 resolution for several NH3 pressures

in the range 02-1 torr which were measured to within 10005 torr

accuracy with an MKS Baratron capacitance manometer The NH3 samples were

transferred to a 25-cm cell with KBr windows and pressurized with N2 gas

to atmospheric pressure No measurable decay of IH3 concentration was

observed within the 15-minute period during which repeat spectra were

recorded for each sample These data yielded absorptivities (base 10) at

23degC and 740 torr total pressure of 182 cm-1 atm-1 for the 11034 cm-1

peak and 97 cm-1 atm- 1 for the 8679 cm- 1 peak with uncertainties of t5J

(two standard deviations for both values

A similar calibration procedure was not possible for HN03 because of

its significant decay to the walls of the 25-cm cell We determined our

high resolution absorptivity values relative to the data of Graham and

Johnston (1978) who made an accurate determination of the absorptivity of

the HN03 4 ( 1325 cm- 1 fundamental band at -2 cm-1 resolution using two

independent methods for generating HN03 ( for more details see also Graham

1975) We assigned Graham and Johnstons ( 1978 absorptivity value

feature in our 0125 cm- 1 resolution spectrum after S1100thing the latter

to -2 cm-1 resolution The absorptivity tor a Q-branch (eg 8961 cm- 1)

at O 125 cm-1 resolution was then determined from the intensity ratio of

the unsmoothed Q-branch to the smoothed P-branch

Smoothing removes the fine structure superimposed on the bandv4 envelope and in order to test the adequacy of tbe smoothing function

1employed measurements were carried out in which 2 cm-1 and 0125 cm-

resolution spectra were recorded alternately for an 11103 sample To take

into account the HN03 decay in the cell the 1315 cm-1 peak heights at 2

cm- 1 resolution were plotted against time as were those or the 0125 cm- 1

resolution spectra after having been smoothed to -2 m-1 resolution The

two curves were found to be indistinguishable indicating the accuracy or

the smoothing function applied The above procedure yielded a value of

52 plusmn 04 cm- 1 atm-1 for the absorptivity (base 10) of the HN03 peak at

896 1 cm- 1 (Q-branch height only) with the two standard deviation error

including that reported by Graham (1975) This value is in fact the same

as that we previously determined for this peak at 05 cm-1 resolution

(Tuazon et al 1980) Following the same method the absorptivity of the

8854 cm-1 Q-branch was found to be 61 plusmn 05 cm-1 ata- 1bull

The calibration procedure for HCHO was the sue as that for NH bull3Formaldehyde samples were pre-distilled from paraformaldehyde and

immediately used after collection in a liquid nitrogen cooled trap The

absorptivity value of the 2781 0 cm- 1 Q-branch an absorption peak well

isolated from H2o absorptions was determined to be 89 plusmn 05 cm- 1 atm-1

4 Treatment of Data

The quantitative analysis of species such as NH3 which possess

relatively narrow Q-branch features which are sufficiently resolved from

atmospheric H2o absorptions was normally straightforward The absorbance

(log 10 1 was derived directly from the single beaa spectrum and thus a

ratio plot against an actual background spectrum was not necessary Proshy

vided that the detector had a linear response 10

and I as determined from

a single beam spectrum had values on an arbitrary scale in which zero

corresponded to zero signal on the detector The appropriate differential

absorption coefficient such as those determined above and the absorption

pathlength had to be applied to the absorption intensity measured between

V-9

and I in order to convert to concentration units This procedure was10

followed for the 11034 and 8679 cm-1 lines of NH3 Estimates of the HN03 concentration could also be obtained from

single-beam spectra by employing the 8854 cmmiddot1 Q-branch However the

HN03 analysis was more reliably carried out using the 8961 cm-1 Q-branch

by ratioing the sample spectrum with a clean background spectrum a

procedure which improved the baseline and resulted in essentially complete

cancellation of a very weak H20 interference Background spectra were

chosen from those recorded at around midnight during low pollution days

since previous measurements (Spicer et al 1982) showed HN03 levels that

were much lower (lt1 ppb) than the FT-IR detection limit under these

conditions

The peak-to-peak noise level in the ratio spectrum was typically

00025 absorbance unit base 10) corresponding to a 250 1 signal to

peak-to-peak noise ratio for single spectral records The absorption

peaks used for the analyses were much wider than the frequency of random

noise such that peak heights as small as the noise level could be

detected above the noise itself Thus the detection sensitivities were

3-5 ppb for HN03 1-2 ppb for NH3 and 2-3 ppb for HCHO The lower

detection limit for each compound was realized when turbulence due to

temperature gradients andor wind were minimal for example during

nighttime hours)

The possible detection of N2o5 depended on how well its broad band

centered at 1246 cm- 1 ( 12) could be discerned from interfering H20

absorptions The H2o interferences were reduced by ratioing the sample

spectra against selected background spectra taken during those periods

(mid-morning to noon) when N2o5 was believed not to be present due to the

rapid photolysis of No3 radicals Although exact cancellation of the H2o absorptions was not possible the windows between these absorptions were

sufficient to define a baseline from which the presence of a broad absorpshy

tion contour could be distinguished From the literature value of 188

cm- 1 atmmiddot 1 for the absorptivity of the 1246 cm-1 peak (Graham 1975 Graham

and Johnston 1978) it was calculated that 5 ppb N2o5 at a pathlength of

1150 m would give a signal of -001 absorbance unit (base 10) approxishy

mately 4 times the peak-to-peak baseline noise of the ratio spectrum

V-10

The largest source of uncertainty in the analyses was the noise level

in the spectrum with other errors being generally negligible We

assigned to each peak height measurement the maxillum error which was

equal to the peak-to-peak noise level For HN03 this error was 4 ppb

The uncertainty arising from the error in the absorptivity (of the 8961

cm- 1 Q-branch in this case) increased with the concentration However

this contribution to the overall error limit was relatively small for the

range of HN03 concentrations encountered For example it increased the

t4 ppb error by only 10j when included in the error calculation for an

HN03 concentration of 25 ppb For NH concentrations i20 ppb the sum of uncertainties due to noise3

and error in the absorptivity of the 11034 cm-1 line was plusmn15 ppb At

higher concentrations the contribution from the absorptivity error became

relatively more important A detailed plot of this error contribution as

a function of concentration revealed that it is nearly linear in the

concentration range 20 to 100 ppb permitting the additional error to be

calculated from the empirical formula (0044( [NH3]-20) ppb Thus for the measurement of 60 ppb NH3 the total error can be calculated as [ 15 +

0 044 )( 60-20)] = plusmn33 ppb

For the range of HCH0 concentrations encountered in the 1986 Glendora

study the measurement errors were less than plusmn3 ppb

C Results and Discussion

As discussed in Section II our measurements were conducted in

conjunction with the CARB-sponsored Carbonaceous Species Methods

Comparison Study which occurred from 0800 PDT August 12 to 0800 PDT

August 21 1986 ln contrast with the low level of air pollution during

the 1985 Claremont summer field study this August 1986 measurement period

at Citrus College was characterized by moderately high levels of photoshy

chemical activity Except for the second day of measurements the maximum

hourly average o3 concentrations exceeded 200 ppb each day

The FT-IR spectra obtained were analyzed for the simultaneous concenshy

trations of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 The detailed instantaneous data are

presented in Table V-1 and are plotted in Figure V-6 The hourly average concentrations are presented in Tables V-2 to V-4 Except for periods of

power disruption on August 14 and the loss of most of the daytime data on

August 17 due to a fault in archiving the data onto agnetic tapes the

FT-IR system provided continuous coverage of HCHO and 1H3 concentrations

since they were always above the respective detection 11llits of -2-3 ppb

and -1-15 ppb HN~ was generally above the -3-Ji ppb detection

sensitivity between 0800 hr and 2000 hr each day throughout the study

period As for the 1985 Claremont and the 1986 Torrance studies N2o5 was

not observed above the estimated detection limit of 4 ppb

The FT-IR analysis of formaldehyde was easily carried out with the

use of single-beam spectra since the HCHO infrared spectrum has a Qshy

branch at 27810 cm-1 well isolated from other atmospheric absorptions

HCHO was included as one of the species to be measured by FT-IR (except

during the first day) because of the need for a standard against which

other HCHO methods employed at this study could be compared Our

contribution to this aspect of the carbonaceous species study was to

provide HCHO measurements by both DOAS and FT-IR spectroscopy either

method of which can serve as a benchmark standard l comparison or the

two sets of spectroscopic data for HCHO has been discussed in Section IV

and comparison with the results of the other HCHO methods is currently

being carried out by Dr Douglas Lawson of the CARB

The NH3 concentrations observed in Glendora (Table V-2) during the

first six days or the field study (September 12-17 were generally in the

range of 2-4 ppb These levels are similar to those aeasured during the

1985 Claremont study for the periods when there was no localized transport

of NH3 to the latter site from nearby agricultural sources NH3 levels

during the remaining days (August 18-21 were more variable and generally

about twice the above range of values (Figure V-6 he erratic pattern

found in the NH3 concentrations during these three days which is also

noticeable in the more well-defined HCHO and HN03 concentration profiles

(Figure V-6 could well be due to the prevailing wind conditions

The maximum instantaneous concentrations of HN~ attained 20 ppb or

higher during the eight days that the FT-IR measurements provided detailed

HN03 profiles (Figure V-6) with the highest concentration of 33 ppb being

observed on August 19 Comparison of our Dasibi ozone data with the FT-IR

measurements of HN03 showed a strong correspondence between the HN03 and

maxima This is illustrated in Figure V-7 for the pollution episodeso3 of August 15-16 where the hourly average HN03 concentrations (by FT-IR)

VI AMBIENT CONCENTRATIONS OF PAH AND NITRO-PAH

A Introduction

The PAH emitted from combustion sources exhibit a wide range of

volatility and are hence distributed in the atmosphere between the gas

and particle phases As we have shown previously (Arey et al 1987)

complementary sampling techniques are required to obtain a comprehensive

data set concerning the concentrations of volatile and non-volatile PAH

and their derivatives in the atmosphere Thus the volatile 2-ring PAH such as naphthalene which are present almost entirely in the gas-phase

can be quantitatively collected on Tenax GC solid adsorbent The nonshy

volatile 5-ring and larger PAH and 3- to 4-ring nitro-PAH are particle

associated and are collected totally on the Hi-vol filters The 3- and 4-

ring PAH of intermediate volatility and the 2-ring nitro-PAH can be

collected on PUF plugs as well as on the filters indicating that they are

either present mainly in the gas-phase or are blown-off the filter

during the collection period Thus three different collection media were

employed for the ambient air sampling at Citrus College Tenax-GC solid

adsorbent PUF plugs and Hi-vol filters The ambient air samples were

collected from August 12 to August 21 with 12-hr day (0800-2000 PDT) and

night (2000-0800 PDT) sampling intervals

B Experimental

1 Sampling Media Cleaning Procedure

Tenax-GC solid adsorbent was Soxhlet extracted in a cellulose

thimble for -5 hr in a 64 (vv) acetonehexane mixture After packing in

Pyrex tubes (using precleaned glass wool) the Tenax cartridges were

conditioned for -4 hr by heating at 275degC with nitrogen flowing through

them at -20 mL min- 1 The Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters

and PUF plugs were cleaned by Soxhlet extraction for -16 hr in methylene

chloride followed by another 16 hr extraction with methanol

2 Tenax-GC Cartridges Sampling and Analysis

Two sizes of Tenax-GC cartridge were used for the collection of

gas-phase PAH at different flow rates Low-flow cartridges consisted of

10 cm x 4 nnn id Pyrex tubes packed with 0 1 g of Tenax GC solid

adsorbent with sampling flow rates of -1 L min-1 yielding an -06 m3

VI-1

volume of air for each 12-hr sampling period High-flow cartridges

consisted of 10 cm x 1 cm id Pyrex tubes packed with 06 g of Tenax-GC

and operated at flow rates of -10 L min-1 resulting in -6 m3 of air

sampled during a 12-hr period Each low-flow cartridge was equipped with

back-up Tenax cartridge placed in series downstream from the first

cartridge to check for breakthrough

After sampling the Tenax cartridges were stored in dry-ice transshy

ported to SAPRC and stored in a freezer prior to analysis

For analysis deuterated internal standards were added to the lowshy

and high-flow Tenax cartridges respectively as follows in microg)

naphthalene-d5 (18 16) biphenyl-d10 (07 10) phenanthrene-d 10 (06

06) The low- and high-flow cartridges were eluted with 2 mL and 10 mL respectively of diethyl ether which was then solvent exchanged to -02

mL of acetonitrile (using a micro-Snyder apparatus for the high-flow

cartridges)

PAH identifications and quantifications were made by combined gas

chromatographymass spectrometry (GCMS) with multiple ion detection

(MID) as described in detail below

3 High-Volume Filters Followed by PUF Plugs Sampling and Analysis

Two high-volume sampler systems consisting of a TIGF filter

follow by four PUF plugs (-9 cm diameter x 5 cm thickness) [see Figure VI-

1] were run at -23 SCFM for 12 hr intervals yielding ambient samples

collected from -1000 m3 of air

Prior to analysis the PUF plugs were combined into six samples

consisting of a single day sample and a single nighttime sample from the

early portion of the study single day and single night samples from the

latter part of the study and composite samples from four day and four

nights Specifically the samples were (11) August 13 0800-2000 hr

(2) August 13-14 2000-0800 hr (3) August 15 16 17 and 18 0800-2000

hr (4) August 15-16 16-17 17-18 18-19 2000-0800 hr (5 August 20

0800-2000 hr (6 August 20-21 2000-0800 hr

The samples from a single 12-hr day or night collection period (ie

samples 1 2 5 and 6) each consisted of eight PUF plugs (four from each

of the two Hi-vols used and these were combined and extracted together

The composite samples 3 and 4 were each analyzed in two parts ~UF

Soxhlet extracted overnight (-16 hr) with methylene chloride concentrated

by rotary evaporation under vacuum to -4 mL filtered through 045 microm

Acrodiscs (Gelman Sci) and concentrated further under a stream of

nitrogen to -500 microL

The extracts were fractionated by HPLC using an Altex semi-prepashy

rative scale Ultrasphere Silica column (1 cm x 25 cm) Figure VI-2 shows

a typical HPLC profile of a PUF plug extract together with the mobile

phase program employed A fraction containing the PAH was collected from

4 min to 22 min and a nitroarene-containing fraction from 22 min to 34

min The fractions were concentrated by rotary evaporation then taken

just to dryness under a stream of nitrogen After dissolving in acetoshy

nitrile or CH2c12 the PAH and nitroarene fractions were analyzed by

GCMS-MID as described below

4 Hi-Vols with TIGF Filters Sampling and Analysis

Seven Hi-vol samplers each equipped with a 10 microm cut-off inlet

were employed for POM collection The samplers were run at -40 SCFM

yielding an ambient sample collected from -800 m3 of air for each Hi-vol

over a 12-hr sampling period Two Hi-vols were employed solely for the

collection of POM used for mutagenicity testing The TIGF filters from

the remaining five Hi-vols were combined into six samples corresponding to

the PUF plug samples described above ie samples 1 and 2 and samples

5 and 6 comprised the single day and night samples from August 13-14 and

August 20-21 respectively and samples 3 and 4 were the composite day

and night samples from August 15-16 16-17 17-18 and 18-19 The filter

extraction and work-up procedure was as shown in Scheme VI-1 Each sample

was spiked with deuterated internal standards as follows (single 12-hr

samples and composite samples respectively in pg) fluoranthene-d 10

5 GCMS Analyses

Compound identifications and quantifications were made using

either a Finnigan 3200 quadrupole GCMS interfaced to a Teknivent data

system or a Hewlett Packard 5890 GC interfaced to a Hewlett Packard 5970

mass selective detector MSD) both operated in the electron impact mode

(70 eV) The GC separations were done either on a 60 m DB-5 fused silica

capillary column with a cool on-column injection system (J ampWScientific

Inc) or on a 30 m DB-5 fused silica capillary column with splitless

injection Both columns eluted directly into the MS ion source

Calibration curves for the GCMS-MID quantification of the PAH were

made for the molecular ion peaks of the PAH using the corresponding

deuterated species (or the deuterated species most closely matched in

volatility and retention characteristics) as an internal standard The

1 Volatile PAH Sampled on Tenax-GC Cartridges

The most abundant PAH collected on the Tenaz-GC cartridges were

naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene GC~ analysis of Tenax

samples in the full scanning mode (rather than the MID mode used for

quantification) showed that not unexpectedly several alkylbenzenes were

also very abundant Table VI-1 sUJ11Darizes the ambient concentrations (ng

m-3) of the volatile PAH measured For reasons which will be detailed

below the naphthalene data from the low-flow cartridges have been

utilized while the data for the remaining PAH have been taken from the

values obtained from the high-flow cartridges

In Appendix B Table B-1 the microg quantities of each PAH measured on

the low-flow Tenax cartridges (for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications)

and the calculated total volumes for each sample are listed Replicate

injections gave reproducible values for naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylshy

naphthalene while the levels of biphenyl fluorene and phenanthrene were

too low for accurate quantification Also listed in Table B-1 are the

quantities of PAH observed on the back-up Tenax cartridges which were

also generally too low for accurate quantification Table B-2 lists the

microg quantities measured and volumes sampled for the high-flow cartridges

Since the volumes of air sampled on the high-flow cartridges was a factor

of 10 greater than the low-flow cartridges biphenyl fluorene and phenshy

anthrene could be accurately determined and in addition acenaphthylene

and acenaphthene were measured

Only traces of naphthalene were observed on the Tenax cartridges

which were back-up cartridges for the low-flow Tenax ie less than a

few percent of that measured on the primary cartridge Therefore

naphthalene was collected quantitatively on the low-flow Tenax Table VI-

2 compares the ambient naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene concenshy

trations calculated from the low-flow and high-flow Tenax cartridges The

high-flow values for naphthalene were consistently lower than those

obtained from the low-flow Tenax samples indicating that naphthalene was

not collected quantitatively at a collection rate of 10 L min- 1 at the

ambient temperatures encountered at Citrus College Hence the low-flow

Tenax values for naphthalene are given in Table VI-1

( There is good agreement between the nighttime concentrations of the

1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes calculated from the low- and high-flow Tenax

samples For the daytime samples when the observed concentrations were

generally low the high-flow values tended to be somewhat higher than the

low-flow values and were judged to be more accurate It should be noted

that the low-flow values for 1-methylnaphthalene have been corrected for a

significant interference which was observed on the back-up Tenax

2 PAH Sampled on PUF Plugs

GCMS analysis of the HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts in

which the PAH elute (see Figure VI-2) showed this fraction to contain many

less abundant alkyl-PAH and dibenzothiophene as well as fluorene phenshy

anthrene anthracene fluoranthene and pyrene It must be remembered that

these PAH will be distributed between the gaseous and particle phases in

ambient air and that the quantities measured on the PUF plugs are the sum

of the PAH in the gas phase and the PAH initially present on the POM but

blown-off during the collection period

The ambient concentrations of five PAH and the sulfur heterocycle

dibenzothiophene measured on the PUF plugs are given in Table vI3 The

most abundant PAH collected on the PUF plugs was fluorene From the

composite samples in which the fourth PUF plugs were analyzed separately

it was obvious that fluorene (mw 166) and PAH of higher volatility were

not collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs since substantial amounts

were present on the fourth PUF (see Table VI-3) Consistent with fluorene

not being collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs the ambient concenshy

trations of fluorene listed in Table VI-1 from the Tenax cartridge quanshy

tifications are -2-5 fold higher than those listed in Table VI-3 The

ambient concentrations of phenanthrene measured on the PUF plugs and Tenax

cartridges agree to within better than a factor of two

Figure VI-4 shows the GCMS-MID traces of naphthalene and alkylshy

naphthalenes for the Tenax and PUF samples from the evening of 813-1486

From the Tenax sample trace it is clear that naphthalene was the most

abundant species (at a measured concentration of -5000 ng m-3)

Comparing the Tenax and PUF sample traces it is apparent that naphthalene

was retained on the PUF plugs only to a minor extent (with a measured

concentration of -2 ng m-3 Interestingly although not quantitatively

collected on the PUF plugs the presence of dimethylnaphthalenes in

ambient air is apparent from the PUF samples

3 Diurnal Variations in the Volatile PAH

The ambient concentrations of naphthalene measured for 12-hr day

and night sampling intervals throughout the Citrus College study are shown

in Figure VI-5 It can be seen from these data that the naphthalene conshy

centrations were generally higher during the evening sampling intervals

and that there was a trend toward higher concentrations in the latter part

of the study

The daytime and nighttime concentrations of _ and 2-methylnaphthashy

lene are shown in Figure VI-6 As observed for naphthalene the nighttime

concentrations were generally higher The concentration of 2-methylshy

naphthalene was consistently higher than that of 1-methylnaphthalene The

concentration profiles of the methylnaphthalenes were remarkably similar

perhaps indicating a common source and similar atmospheric loss processes

Reaction with the hydroxyl radical is expected to be the major loss

process for both species with essentially identical atmospheric lifetimes

for 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987a)

All of the volatile PAH were generally more abundant during the

nighttime than daytime sampling intervals (see Table VI-1 and VI-3

Meteorological factors such as inversion heights may certainly have played

a role in this observed trend at Citrus College bu it can be seen that

these diurnal variations are not solely due to meteorology by comparing

the diurnal profiles of species of differing reactiviy For example the

GCMS-MID traces for the molecular ion of biphenyl a11d acenaphthene (mz

154 for a typical daytime and nighttime Tenax sample are shown in Figure

VI-7 As seen from this figure acenaphthene [the ioore reactive of these

PAH (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b] was generally significantly more

abundant in the nighttime samples presumably beig removed by rapid

reaction with the OH radical during daylight hours

GCMS-MID traces of daytime and nighttime PUF samples showing the

analyses of isomeric PAH of differing reactivity are shown in Figures VI-8

and VI-9 While phenanthrene was abundant on both ~~e day and nighttime

PUF plug samples the relative abundance of anthracen~ to phenanthrene was

consistently higher at night Figure VI-8) Similarly acephenanthrylene

an isomer of fluoranthene and pyrene expected to be more reactive than

these PAH towards ozone (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) was generally not

observed in the daytime PUF samples from Citrus College (Figure VI-9)

4 Nitroarenes Sampled on PUF Plugs

The HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts eluting from 22 to 34

min (Figure VI-2) contained the volatile nitroarene species The most

abundant nitroarenes were 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene GCMS analysis in

the full scanning mode showed that this nitroarene-containing HPLC

fraction also contained alkylnitrophenols

Figure Vl-10 shows GCMS-MID traces from a typical analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug extract for 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene (NN) As

seen from this figure identification was based on the presence of several

characteristic fragment ions as well as retention time matching with the

1-nitronaphthalene-d7 internal standard Figure VI-11 shows the presence

of several peaks at mz 187 which elute after 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene

These peaks were identified as methylnitronaphthalenes ( 14 isomers are

possible on the basis of the presence of characteristic [M-N02]+ and [Mshy

HN02J+ fragment ions as well as the mz 187 molecular ion

GCMS-MID traces of a standard mixture of the three nitrobiphenyl

isomers and two isomers of nitroacenaphthene are shown in Figure VI-12

5-Nitroacenaphthene has previously been reported in ambient air (Tokiwa et

al 1981) At Torrance CA during a wintertime high-NOx episode we did

not observe nitroacenaphthene but measured high concentrations of the

isomeric species 3-nitrobiphenyl (Arey et al 1987) In Figure Vl-13 the

[Mr ions of the standard mixture are shown together with the [M)+ ions

and characteristic fragment ion traces obtained from the analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug sample As at Torrance CA the nitroarene isomer

of mw 199 observed at Citrus College was clearly 3-nitrobiphenyl

Table Vl-4 gives the microg quantities of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and

3-nitrobiphenyl collected on the PUF plugs at Citrus College From the

fourth PUF plugs of the composite samples it can be seen that 3-

nitrobiphenyl was quantitatively collected on the first three PUF plugs

Particularly during the daytime samples some breakthrough of 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene occurred In addition to these nitroarene species

traces of 9-nitroanthracene were observed in most of the Citrus College

PUF plug samples but the levels present were too low to quantify

5 PAH Sampled on TIGF Filters

As described in Section B above the extracts of the TIGF filters

were fractionated by HPLC HPLC fractions 2-5 (see Figure VI-3) were

collected as the PAH fraction with fractions 6-7 being chosen to include

the n i troarenes Through the use of deuterated internal standards it

became apparent that the higher molecular weight PAH such as dibenz(ah)shy

anthracene were eluting in HPLC fractions 6-7 The data reported here

for the PAH on filters will be for the lower molecular weight species

ie fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and

benzo(a)pyrene Fractions 6-7 will be analyzed for the higher molecular

weight PAH and the full range of data for PAH on particles will be given

in our final report for our on-going CARB project (Contract No A5-185-

32) A survey of ambient concentrations of selected polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons (PAH) at various locations in California

Table VI-6 lists values for fluoranthane pyrene benz(a)anthracene

chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene in the NBS SRM 1649 an air

particulate sample collected in Washington DC The values recently

reported by the NBS (Wise et al 1986) for analyses by GC and HPLC with

fluorescence detection along with our values determined by GCMS-MID are

given The extraction and clean-up procedures we used for the SRM

particles were as described in Section B for the Citrus College POM sample

analyses As can be seen from Table VI-6 the agreement between our

values and those reported by NBS is generally excellent

The microg quantities of the five PAH measured in the Citrus College POM

samples for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications are given in Appendix B

Table B-3 The concentrations of these five PAH in ng m-3 (averaging the

replicate values) are given in Table VI-7 Two additional samples 7 and

8 repeat day and night composites are also listed in Tables B-3 and

VI-7 It was found that in taking the benzenemethanol extracts to a

constant weight a significant fraction of the deuterated internal stanshy

dards fluoranthene-d 10 pyrene-d 10 and even 2-nitrofluoranthene-d9 were

lost The use of internal standards should of course allow for correcshy

tion of such losses Since all of the filters from each day or night

comprising these composites had not been extracted we made replicate

composite samples and extracted these replicates with dichloromethane As

can be seen from Table VI-7 the composites and the repeat composites

VI-28

agree to within better than a factor of two In our current procedure for

POM analyses the benzenemethanol extract is not taken to dryness

6 Nitroarenes Sampled on TlGF Filters

The ambient concentrations of the nitrofluoranthenes and nitroshy

pyrenes measured for the six Citrus College POM samples are given in Table

VI-7 As we have observed previously (Pitts et al 1985c Ramdahl et al

1986 Arey et al 1987) 2-nitrofluoranthene was the most abundant

particle-associated nitroarene The GCMS-MID trace of the molecular ion

for the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (mz 247) from the August 20-

21 1986 2000-0800 PDT sample is shown in Figure VI-14 This sample

VII AMBIENT MUTAGENICITY

A Introduction

For the past several years the mutagenicity of ambient P0M has been

recognized as a characteristic of polluted urban atmospheres Further-

more although airborne particulate matter contains many carcinogenic PAH

its mutagenic activity does not resemble that of the PAH which require

mammalian metabolic activation (S9) as a requisite for expression of their

mutagenicity in the Ames Salmonella test Instead ambient P0M is

directly active ie expressing mutagenicity without the addition of

S9 and thus showing that other classes of organic chemicals which are

direct-acting mutagens are also present in ambient air

As an integral part of the CSMCS carried out at Citrus College

Glendora we measured the mutagenicity of collected 12-hour particulate

samples both with and without mammalian metabolic activation on

Salmonella strain TA98 Additionally we obtained mutagenicity data on

strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6

B Experimental

Sample Preparation for Mutagenicity Testing As noted in Section

II I POM samples were collected on a 12-hr basis throughout the study

period from 0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT The collected particulate

matter from two Hi-vols fitted with 10 microm cut-off inlets was weighed and

the filters Soxhlet extracted for 16-hr using a benzenemethanol (8020

azeotrope The solvent was removed under vacuum and the extracts were

taken to dryness under a stream of dry nitrogen Prior to mutagenicity

testing the sample extracts were stored in the dark at -75degC On the day

of the test each extract was taken up in DMS0 using a 20-minute

sonication and serial dilutions in DMS0 were made from this stock

solution

Tester Strains Ames Salmonella strain TA98 was used because of its

sensitivity to atmospheric particulate mutagens such as the nitroarenes

(Rosenkranz and Mermelstein 1983 and each particulate extract was tested

on this strain both in the presence and the absence of manmalian metabolic ( activation (S9 Each sample was also tested on strains TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6 in the absence of S9 as a possible indication of nitroarene

VII-1

mutagenicity TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 are isolates of TA98 which are

deficient in a nitroreductase Rosenkranz and Speck 1975 McCoy et al

1981 and a transacetylase enzyme (McCoy et al 1983 Orr et al 1985

Saito et al 1985 respectively The deficiency or these enzymes which

are required in the activation of many nitroarenes to penultimate

mutagens renders these strains less sensitive than TA98 to many mutagenic

nitroarenes Thus when a complex mixture exhibits less activity on

TA98NR or TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 it may be an indication of the

contribution of ni troarenes to the mutagenic activity of that sample

Table VII-1 shows the response of TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to

TA98 for several mutagenic atmospheric nitroarenes

The strains were cultured in 40 mL of L-broth for 12 hours at 37degC

with shaking The culture density was estimated by its absorbance at 550

nm and each strain was diluted with fresh medium to an absorbance

previously calculated to yield the standard culture density of 109 colony

forming units per mL (approximately 028 absorbance units) After

dilution the cultures were maintained in an ice bath for the duration of

the test The titer of each culture was determined by dilution and

plating on histidine-supplemented medium E The standard genotypic

markers which were routinely checked were crystal violet sensitivity UV

sensitivity and ampicillin resistance Three standard positive-control

mutagens were tested on each strain 1) 2-nitrofluorene a positive

control mutagen which we have used for the past ten years to check the

response of TA98 was also used to check the reduced response of TA98NR

relative to TA98 2 18-dinitropyrene was used to check the reduced

response of TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 and TA98NR for nitroarenes

which require the Salmonella transacetylase for activation and 3)

quercetin was used to check the equivalent response of these strains to

non-nitroarene mutagens Additionally benzo(apyrene was tested on

TA98(+S9) to check the response of this strain to indirect mutagens

Our testing protocol consistently results in somewhat higher

mutagenicities than other laboratories which we attribute primarily to

the use of L-broth instead of Oxoid broth to culture the tester strains

L-broth has about twice the amount of histidine as does Oxoid and its use

results in larger amounts of histidine on the test plate Because it is

the limiting growth factor a higher amount of histidine results in a

higher number of cells on the test plate and hence a higher number of

revertants (Maron and Ames 1983) The use of L-broth also results in a

somewhat denser background lawn of unreverted Salmonella but colony

morphology and visibility are unaffected

S9 Mix Arochlor 1254-induced rat liver S9 was prepared by Litton

Bionetics Inc according to the method of Ames et al (1975) and containshy

ed 26 mg mL- 1 protein (manufacturers analysis) NADP was purchased from

Boehringer Mannheim and glucose-6-phosphate was purchased from Sigma

Chemical Company

The S9 mix was prepared by the standard protocol (Ames et al 1975

Maron and Ames 1983) with 001 ml S9 per plate c2i vv mix) This S9

concentration was chosen since we have previously found a 2i vv mix to be

optimal in activating ambient particulate extracts collected in southern

California Frequently the use of S9 in testing ambient POM results in a

net decrease in activity as deactivation of direct mutagens overrides the

presumed activation of indirect mutagens such as the PAH Many

nitroarenes are also subject to this S9 suppression of activity

VI-3

Testing Protocol The standard Ames Salmonella plate incorporation

mutagenicity test was performed according to the method of Ames and coshy

workers (Ames et al 1975 Maron and Ames 1983) with some modifications to

improve its accuracy and precision (Belser et al 1981) Because of the

large number of plates required for the complete set of samples the

extracts were assayed in two tests 1) TA98 with and without S9 and 2)

TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 without S9 By dividing the tests by strain the

variation in response within one sample set was minimized Each extract

was tested in triplicate at eight doses chosen to logarithmically span the

region of linear response observed in the past for ambient P0M In

anticipation of lower activities on TA98NR and TA981 8-DNP6 the doses

chosen for these strains were twice as great as those for TA98 Hence

each sample was tested at 3 6 11 21 38 70 135 and 250 microg plate- 1 on

TA98 and at 6 12 22 42 76 140 270 and 500 microg plate-1 on TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6

Each test was performed in a single afternoon by means of a procedure

designed to improve intraday precision Belser et al 1981) Darkroom

conditions were employed throughout to prevent any photodecomposi tion of

the samples which might occur under laboratory fluorescent 1 ights The

plates were incubated at 37degC for 63 hours and counted with a Biotran

automatic colony counter (New Brunswick Scientific) directly interfaced to

a microcomputer ( Apple II) The extract potencies or specific activishy

ties were obtained by 1 inear regression analysis of the dose-response

data in the region of linear response The slope of the dose-response 1curve is the specific activity in revertants microg- The ratios of the

specific activities on strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98

were then calculated

From the specific activities the extract weights and the weights of

the particulate matter collected the potencies of the particulate matter

or mutagen loadings in revertants per mg of particulate matter collected

were calculated Finally from the specific activities the extract

weights and the volumes of sampled air the airborne mutagenicity conshy

centrations or mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of sampled air

were calculated

VII-4

( C Results

The complete data set including the sample collection data is given

in Tables VII-2 to VII-5 The concurrent General Motors Laboratories

mutagen density data (J Siak T L Chan and G T Wolff private

connnunication) are included in Table VII-5 for comparison As we have

observed before in southern California the sampled POM was principally

directly active the average direct activity (TA98 -S9 was 345 rev m-3

as compared to 332 rev m-3 with metabolic activation TA98 +S9 Figure

VII-1 shows the mutagen density with and without S9 observed during this

study The values are intermediate in the range of mutagen densities we

have observed before in southern California and followed a general trend

towards higher values at the end of the study Figure VII-2 shows the

TA98 +S9 to TA98 -S9) ratio together with the TA98 (-S9) mutagen

density which are anticorrelated Thus sampling periods with higher

direct mutagenicity tended to be those which exhibited less promutagenshy

icity and greater direct activity This observation is consistent in a

qualitative manner with the presence in ambient POM of nitroarenes

The final nighttime sampling period during this study 820-2186

2000-0800 PDT) was unusual because of the high levels of volatile and nonshy

volatile nitroarenes present in the atmosphere For example the 2-nitroshy

fluoranthene concentration was a factor of ~5 greater than on the previous

day and the 1-nitronaphthalene concentration increased by over a factor of

two Concurrent observations of the presence of the nitrate radical

indicated that chemistry could have been occurring on this nightN2o5 Our measured mutagen density however declined by a factor of two

inconsistent with these other observations Moreover in contrast to our

results researchers at General Motors Laboratories using CH2c12 as an

extraction solvent observed a significant increase in mutagenicity (TA98

-S9) from the daytime 82086 0800-2000 PDT) sample to the nighttime

(820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) sample in their tests Since we had used a

benzene-methanol azeotrope as the extraction solvent system we decided to

retest the POM collected during these final two sampling periods using

dichloromethane as the extraction solvent

For this second mutagenicity test using CH2c12-extraction POM

collected on TGF filters in Hi-vol samplers modified to allow PUF plugs

to be placed downstream from the filters was employed These modified Hishy

vol samplers were operated at a flow rate or 23 SCFM instead of the

conventional 40 SCFM) to ensure that the flow controller remained

operative One filter from the daytime (82086 0800-2000 PDT) and one

filter from the nighttime 820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) collection period

were Soxhlet extracted for 16 hours with CH2c12 and tested on TA98 -S9)

The results or this collection and mutagenicity test are given in

Table VII-6 together with the data for our previous test of the benzene-methanol extracts As can be seen from the TSP data the modified

samplers collected more particulate matter than the standard Hi-vol as

expected since these Hi-vols were not equipped with a size-selective

inlet This was not expected to have greatly affected the mutagenicity

results however because very little mutagenicity is present on particles

larger than -10 micro

The more polar benzene-methanol solvent system extracted much more

material than did CH2c12 bull Despite the larger amount of polar material

present in the benzene-methanol samples the mutagen density for the

nighttime sample is three-fold lower than for the corresponding CH2c12-

extracted sample In contrast the mutagen density for the benzeneshy

methanol daytime sample is somewhat higher than for the corresponding

CH2c12-extracted sample Apparently the polar material in the benzeneshy

methanol extract of the nighttime sample inhibited the mutagenicity of

this extract probably through toxic or bacteriostatic action In

contrast the mutagenici ty of the polar compounds in the daytime sample

overcame any inhibitory effect

These observations illustrate the inherent compromises in choosing a

solvent system for extracting ambient POM The benzene-methanol solvent

system was chosen precisely because it extracts more polar material than

does CH2c12 and does not generate the artifactual mutagenicity associated

with the use of acetonitrile Indeed because inhibitory compounds may be

of the same polarity as mutagens every solvent system must result in an

underestimation of the mutagenicity of ambient POM This underscores the

need for identification and quantification of ambient mutagens Once

identified and tested for mutagenicity in their pure form the known

mutagens in a sample can be quantified and an accurate sum of their

mutagenicities can be obtained

VIII CONCLUSIONS

The objectives of SAPRCs involvement in the ARB-funded CSMCS study

held at Citrus College Glendora CA during the period August 12-21

1986 were met Using long pathlength differential optical absorption and

Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopic techniques the

ambient concentrations of N02 HONO HCHO HN03 NH3 and the N03 radical

were monitored in an essentially continuous mode throughout this study

period Since these data were obtained using absolute in-situ spectroshy

scopic methods they have served as benchmark data for the evaluation of

other more portable measurement methods for the determination of HCHO

and HN03 concentrations during the SCAQS carried out in 1987

Based upon the experimental methods used and ambient air concentshy

ration data obtained in our recent study at El Camino Conmtunity College

Torrance we were able to employ a complementary set of sampling techshy

niques to provide a comprehensive data set concerning the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of both volatile and non-volatile PAH and nitroshy

arenes during this study at Citrus College Ambient atmospheric concenshy

tration data were obtained for the following PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-

methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene

phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)shy

anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene and the following

nitroarenes 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3- and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene The ambient concentrations of

the PAH cover a very large range (gt1000) with the most volatile PAH naphshy

thalene being the most abundant Indeed the naphthalene concentration

exceeded 1 ppb during the 12-hr nighttime period 2000-0800 PDT on August

20-21 and averaged 0 7 ppb (3700 ng m-3) over the entire study period

The next most abundant PAH were the 1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes with 2-

methylnaphthalene being about twice as abundant as 1-methylnaphthalene

The ambient concentrations of the PAH exhibited diurnal variations

with the concentrations generally being higher during the nighttime

sampling periods than during the daytime periods This diurnal variation

can most readily be seen for the volatile PAH which were sampled onto the

high and low flow Tenax cartridges and for which individual 12-hr analyses

were carried out This diurnal variation could in general be due to

VIII-1

differing daynight emission rates meteorology (with lower inversion

heights and hence higher concentrations during the nighttime periods

andor differing atmospheric removal rates due to chemical reactions The

observation (Table VI-1 that the magnitude of the diurnal variation

depended on the specific PAH with the largest variations being for the

most chemically reactive PAH indicates that part of this variation was

due to chemical removal of the PAH during daytime hours

The 2-3 ring PAH monitored using the Tenax cartridge system all react

with the OH radical during daylight hours (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and

Aschmann 1987b) with expected lifetimes due to this OH radical reaction

of approximately 3 days for biphenyl and fluorene and 2-12 hrs for the

other PAH The PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene acenaphthene

acenaphthylene and phenanthrene also react to a lesser extent with N2o5bull

In addition acenaphthene and acenaphthylene also react with N03 radicals

(Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) bull These andor radical removalN2o5 N03 processes were likely to be of minor significance during this study since

the N03 radical (and hence N2o5) concentrations were low In addition

acenaphthylene reacts with Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) with thiso3 removal process again being most important during daytime Interestingly

the ratio (average nighttime concentrationaverage daytime concentration)

correlates well with the OH radical reaction rate constant (which varies

from 7 x 10-12 cm3 molecule- 1 s-1 for biphenyl to 1 1 x 10-10 cm3 moleshy1cule-1 s- for acenaphthylene (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and Aschmann

1987b) as shown by the plot in Figure VIII-1 This good correlation

confirms our expectation that daytime reaction with the OH radical is an

important atmospheric removal process for the PAH present in the gas

phase

The nitroarenes also exhibit a diurnal concentration profile as

shown in Figure VIII-2 which gives our earlier data from Torrance CA

(Winer et al 1987) as well as from Citrus College Again this observed

diurnal variation in the nitroarene concentrations can be due to differing

emission rates differing formation rates from their parent PAH during

transport through the atmosphere meteorology or differing removal rates

during daytime and nighttime periods Our data for the PAH (Figure VIII-1)

show that meteorology at Citrus College had a relatively minor effect of

the order of 20J (estimated from the intercept representing no OH radical

( reaction) on the daynight concentration ratio Further it is expected

(Atkinson et al 1987) that the atmospheric OH radical reactions of the

nitroarenes will be relatively slow Hence since 3-nitrobiphenyl is not

expected to be emitted and the daytimenighttime emission rates of the

nitronaphthalenes are not likely to vary significantly the observed difshy

ferences in the daynight concentration profiles for 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl strongly suggest differing formation rates

In particular our observation that the daytime concentrations of 3-nitroshy

biphenyl are always higher than the nighttime concentration ( in total

contrast to the situation for the PAH) shows that 3-nitrobiphenyl must be

made in the atmosphere during daytime hours Indeed we have shown from

laboratory studies (Atkinson et al 1987) that the daytime OH radical

reaction with biphenyl (the only significant atmospheric chemical removal

process for biphenyl) forms 3-nitrobiphenyl in approximately 5j yield

1- and 2-Nitronaphthalene are also formed from the reaction of OH radicals

with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) but these nitroarenes can also be

formed from the nighttime reaction of naphthalene with N2o5 (Atkinson et

al 1987)

In our previous study in Torrance CA (Winer et al 1987) N03 radicals were not present during nighttime hours and hence the N2o5 forshy

mation route to the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes was not operative and the

daytime concentrations of the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes and 3-nitroshy

biphenyl were higher than during the nighttime as expected from a daytime

formation pathway via OH radical reaction from their parent PAH In

contrast at Citrus College N03 radicals were observed on several

evenings and both daytime and nighttime formation of 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene was hence possible (note that 3-nitrobiphenyl could only be formed

during the daytime) Indeed while the daytime 3-nitrobiphenyl concenshy

trations were higher than the nighttime concentrations the 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene concentrations were as high or higher during the

nights Even more interesting is the observation that during daytime the

1- and 2-nitronaphthalene concentrations were comparable consistent with

the similar formation yields from the daytime OH radical-initiated reacshy

tions with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) During nighttime however

the 1-nitronaphthalene concentrations were significantly higher than the

2-nitronaphthalene concentrations consistent with nighttime formation

VII I-5

from N2o5 reaction with naphthalene for which the 1- and 2-nitronaphthashy

lene yields are 15J and 7J respectively (Atkinson et al 1987

The ambient nitroarene concentrations also vary widely from compound

to compound and as with the PAH the most volatile nitroarenes are again

the most abundant Indeed as shown in Table VIII-1 the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl

(measured at both Torrance (Winer et al 1987) and Citrus College are

comparable to the ambient concentrations of fluoranthene and (not shown)

pyrene and are generally an order of magnitude higher than the concenshy

trations of 2-nitrofluoranthene the most abundant particle-associated

nitroarene

As noted in previous sections of this report the PAH themselves are

not directly mutagenic in the Ames assay without microsomal activation

The ambient atmospheric concentrations of the particle-associated nitroshy

arenes (which are direct-acting mutagens when combined with their

mutagenic activities (Table VII-1) allow the ambient mutagenic densities

resulting from the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (by far the most

abundant particle-associated nitroarenes to be calculated Table Vlll-2

gives the overall direct-acting mutagenic densities towards strain TA98

(-S9 calculated from our measured ambient concentrations of 2- 3- and

8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene for the six time-periods for

which data were obtained The mutagenic densities (rev m-3) calculated

from the measured ambient concentrations of these nitrofluoranthenes and

nitropyrenes ranged from approximately 1-9 rev m-3_ 2-Nitrofluoranthene

itself accounted for from 50-90J of this overall mutagenic density contrishy

buted by the nitroarenes of molecular weight 247

These calculated nitrofluoranthene and nitropyrene mutagen densities

account for typically 10J of the measured ambient mutagenicity It is

difficult to cite a definite numerical contribution of the nitrofluorshy

anthenes and nitropyrenes to ambient mutagenicity due to potential

problems in the Ames assay as discussed in Section VII above This 10J

figure for the contribution of the particle-associated nitroarenes to

ambient mutagenicity is consistent with the values given by Arey et al

(1988) and shows that the majority ie typically 90j of the mutagenishy

city of ambient POM is presently unaccounted for Ihis as yet unaccountshy

ed for direct-acting mutagenicity could be associated with other PAH-

VIII-6

( derivatives formed in the atmosphere during transport from source to

receptor or from other classes of organics Further work to attempt to

determine the identity of these other mutagens and their sources (direct

emissions versus atmospheric formation) is clearly necessary

ABSTRACT

To allow for methods development and methods intercomparisons prior to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study the California Air Resources Board funded two methods intercomparison studies one in 1985 at Claremont concerning the measurement of nitrogenous species and a second at Citrus College Glendora during August 1986 dealing principally with measurement methods for organic and carbonaceous species In the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study (CSMCS at Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center conducted measurements of the ambient concentrations or several inorganic and organic species Specifically the following measurements were made

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02 nitrous acid (HONO) and formaldehyde (HCHO)

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR absorption specshytroscopy we measured nitric acid (HN03) amnonia (NH3) and HCH0

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber filters and these samples were analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and nitroarenes

An extensive data set for the gas-phase concentrations of N02 HONO HN03 HCHO NH3 and the N03 radical was obtained (by DOAS andor FT-IR spectroscopy) during this study period Significant concentrations of these pollutants were observed with ambient concentrations of up to approximately 140 45 30 20 and 15 parts-per-billion (ppb) for N02 HONO HN03 HCHO and NH~ respectively A definitive measurement of the time-concentration profne of N03 radicals was made on only one night during this study with a peak N03 radical concentration of 70 parts-pershytrillion (ppt) being measured on fhe night of August 13 The presence of N03 radicals at levels lt40 ppt was observed on the evenings of August 13 19 and 20

Ambient particulate organic matter POM) was collected on a 12-hr daytime and nighttime sampling period (0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT and was tested for mutagenicity towards Salmonella typhimur ium strains TA98 (with and without added S9) TA98NR (-S9) and TA981 8-DNP6 (-S9) The mutagen densities obtained were consistent with those we nave measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin As also observed previously the mutagen densities and mutagenic activity of the POM measured in the presence and absence of S9 we3e essentially indistinguishable with average mutagen densities rev m-) of 33 and 35 towards strain TA98 with

3and without S9 respectively and a maximum of 61 rev m- (TA98 -S9

Ambient air was also sampled on filters and solid adsorbents to collect the gas- and particle associated PAH and nitroarenes for combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis The following PAH and nitroarenes were observed and quantified naphthalene 1- and 2-methylshynaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)shyanthracene chrysenetriphenylene benzo(a)pyrene 1- and 2-nitronaphthashylene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3- and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitroshypyrene

I bull PROJECT SUMMARY

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides of nitrogen precursors are complex and

it is necessary to have measurements of the reactant and product species

in as detailed a manner as possible in order to provide a data base

suitable for input into airshed computer models These organic compounds

may be distributed between the gas and particle phases and hence measureshy

ments of their concentrations in both phases must be carried out In

order to allow for a methods development and methods intercomparison prior

to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California

Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two methods intercomparison studies one

in 1985 at Claremont concerning the measurement of nitrogenous species

and a second at Citrus College GleQdora during August of 1986 dealing

principally with the intercomparison of measurement methods for organic

and carbonaceous species

In the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study (CSMCS) at

Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center

(SAPRC) carried out the measurement of several inorganic and organic

species Specifically the following measurements were made

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS) we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02) nitrous acid (HONO) and

formaldehyde (HCHO

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption specshy

troscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) ammonia (NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF)

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbons PAH) and nitroarenes

The DOAS and FT-IR systems utilized 25 m base-path multiple-reflecshy

tion optical systems aligned parallel to one another with the optical

beams being -24 m above the ground surface An extensive data set for

the gas-phase concentrations of N02 HONO HN03 HCHO (by both DOAS and

FT-IR spectroscopy NH3 and the N03 radical was obtained during this

study period The complete data set is tabulated in detail in Sections IV

1-1

and V of this report and Figures I-1 and I-2 show the HCHO HN03 and NH3 time-concentration profiles obtained by FT-IR spectroscopy (Figure I-1)

and the HONO time-concentration profile as monitored by DOAS (Figure I-2)

respectively These two figures and the data presented in Sections IV and

V show that significant concentrations of these pollutants were present

during this sampling period with ambient concentrations of up to

approximately 140 45 30 20 and 15 ppb for N02 BONO HN03 HCHO and

w3 respectively A definitiVe measurement of the presence of No3 radicals was made only on one night during this study (due to the

detection limit for this species) with a peak N03 radical concentration

of 70 ppt being measured on the night of August 13 The presence of N03 radicals at levels lt40 ppt was observed on the evenings of August 13 19

and 20

Ambient particulate organic matter (POM) was collected on a 12-hr

daytime and nighttime sampling period (0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT) and

was tested for mutagenicity towards Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98

with and without added S9) TA98NR (-S9) and TA9818-DNP6 (-S9) The

measured mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of air sampled are given

in Table I-1 These mutagen densities are consistent with those we have

measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin As also observed

previously the mutagen densities and mutagenic activity of the POM

measured in the presence and absence of S9 are essentially indistinguishshy

able with average mutagen densities (strain TA98) of 33 and 35 rev bull-3 with and without S9 respectively

Ambient air was also sampled on filters and solid adsorbents in order

to collect the gas- and particle associated PAH and PAH-derivatives for

combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis Three collection

systems were used to sample ambient air low and high-flow ( 1 and 10 L

min- 1 respectively) cartridges packed with Tenax-GC solid adsorbent to

sample the volatile PAH such as naphthalene and the methylnaphthalenes

Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters backed up by polyurethane

foam (PUF plugs to sample the semi-volatile PAH and nitroarenes present

either in the gas phase or blown-off the filters during the collection

period and TIGF filters for the collection of POM containing the higher

molecular weight low-volatility PAH and nitroarenes The following PAH

seven locations in California at which sampling was to be conducted to

obtain data concerning the ambient levels of mutagenicity and of PAH

(including PAH derivatives such as the nitro-PAH) to which populations

were exposed The Glendora site was chosen as the site impacted by

vehicle emissions The mutagenicity data and the concentrations of the

PAH and PAH-derivatives observed at this site are hence an integral part

of our ongoing study A Survey of Ambient Concentrations of Selected

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) at Various Locations in California

11 INTRODUCTION

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides or nitrogen precursors are exceedingly

complex and in order to provide a data base suitable for input into

airshed computer models it is necessary to have measurenents of the reacshytant and product species in as detailed a manner as possible Since these

organic compounds may be distributed between the gas anltI particle phases

measurements of both the gas- and particle-phase concentrations of organic

chemicals must be carried out In order to allow for a methods developshy

ment and methods intercomparison prior to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two

methods intercomparison studies one in 1985 at Clarsont concerning the

measurement of nitrogenous species and a second at Citrus College

Glendora during August of 1986 dealing principally with the intercomparishy

son or measurement methods for organic and carbonaceous species

In this Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study at Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Researcplusmn Center (SAPRC) was

involved in the measurement of a number of inorganic and organic species

Specifically we measured the atmospheric concentrations of the following compounds

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02 nitrous acid (HONO) and formaldehyde (HCHO)

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) anmonia NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyllethane foam PUF

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber TIGF filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbOns (PAH) and nitroarenes

Furthermore the measurements of the ambient atmspheric concentrashy

tions of PAH and PAH-derivatives at Citrus College formed one part of a

further ambient measurement study funded by the ARB Contract No AS-185-

32 dealing with the ambient concentrations of PAH ant PAR-derivatives at

11-1

seven sites throughout California impacted by differing combustion

emission sources The Citrus College site served as the vehicle emissionshyimpacted site for this study

The description or the site at Citrus College Glendora and the

experimental procedures and data obtained from these measurement methods are detailed in the following sections

111 DESCRIPTION OF SITE

As noted earlier this monitoring program was conducted in conshy

junction with the ARB-funded carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison

Study As shown in Figure 111-1 the ARB selected a site adjacent to the

football stadium on the campus of Citrus College for this study The

orientation and relationship of the long pathlength n-IR and OOAS systems

to other investigators is shown in Figure 111-2 The SAPRC high-volume

(Hi-vol) samplers were located Just north of the mobile vans and trailers

of other investigators The optical spectrometers were elevated on

concrete blocks to achieve a 24 m (8 ft) height for the optical beams in

order to minimize the influences or dry deposition of nitric acid and

other nitrogenous species This requirement necessitated a major

restructuring or the FT~IR and DOAS instrument supports In order to

augment the 12 m 4 ft height initially designed into the optical axes

or both of the long pathlength mirror assemblies while at the same time

preventing extraneous vibrations the spectrometers mirror systems and

their housings wereset on massive concrete blocks

Six 4 ft x 4 ft x 10 ft concrete structures were rented from the

Pyramid Precast company which provided the necessary machinery to

position the blocks on premarked areas at the study site Three of these

blocks constituted the support platform for the FT-IR and DOAS assemblies

at each end of the optical path (see Figure 111-2) New 9 ft x 12 ft

sheds were procured and constructed on these platforms during the last

week of August and the first week of September Subsequent assembly and

testing of the spectrometers and optical systems was completed in time for

the scheduled start of the field study on September 11 1985

As shown in Figure 111-2 the two SAPRC 25 m basepath optical systems

were set up parallel to each other and to the scaffolding which supported

most of the samplers from other groups participating in the intercomparishy

son study The optical systems were aligned in a north-south orientation

to minimize scattered light problems at sunrise and sunset and positioned

due west of the scaffolding and various mobile vans and trailers f The study period began at 0800 PDT on Tuesday August 12 and conshy

tinued until 0800 PDT on August 21 The FT-IR and DOAS systems operated

essentially continuously during this period with FT-IR spectra being

IV MEASUREMENTS OF HONO H()2 NO~ RADICALS AND HCHO BY DIFFERENTIAL OPTICAL ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

A Introduction

The development of a long pathlength OOAS system by Perner and Platt

1979) and its application and extension by these workers and by SAPRC

researchers Platt et al 1980ab 1981 1982 1984 Harris et al 1982

Pitts et al 1984ab 1985a) has provided a technique capable of sensishy

tive specific and time-resolved measurements of the ambient concentrashy

tions of a number of important atmospheric species including nitrous

acid formaldehyde the nitrate radical and nitrogen dioxide

In this section we briefly describe the design and operation of the

25 m basepath DOAS system employed to measure ambient levels of N03 radicals HONO N02 and HCHO during the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study and the results obtained during this measurement

period A more detailed description of the experimental system is provided in an earlier report to the ARB (Winer et al 1987)

B Experimental Methods

The 25 m basepath optical system (Figure IV-1) was of the threeshy

mirror White design but with an added corner reflector at the in-focus

end which effectively doubled its maximum pathlength capability The

mirrors were fabricated from 30 cm dia x 5 cm thick Pyrex blanks and

coated with a custom dielectric coating for optimum reflectivity in the spectral regions of interest

The DOAS system measures the ambient concentrations of trace

components which have distinct vibronic structures by their light

absorption in the near-ultraviolet (uv) and visible spectral regions

White light from a 75 W high pressure Xenon lamp was imaged by a spherical

mirror into the plane of the nesting (in-focus) mirror of the White cell

and then propagated through the multiple reflection optics until it

emerged from the system and was imaged onto the entrance slit of the

monochromator SPEX 1870 05 m) The light intensity was monitored by a

photomultiplier EMI 9659Q) and the signal acquired and averaged by a DEC

MINC 1123 minicomputer

With the DOAS a rotating slotted disk was used to allow rapid

scanning The slotted disk was formed by etching a set of exit slits (100

microm wide 10 m spacing) radially into a thin metal disk This disk was

rotated in the focal plane of the dispersed spectrua As each slit moved across the opening between the masks that block the two adjacent slits it

scanned a spectral range of -30-60 nm depending on the rotation frequency

of the slotted disk The orientation of the spectrometer grating

determined which specific spectral region was scanned As employed in its

final form in this program the slotted disk rotated at -4 Hz resulting in

a scan rate of -100 Hz well above the frequency distribution of

atmospheric turbulence (which otherwise would introduce unwanted structure

into the spectra)

As a slit became visible at the edge of the mask it was detected by

an infrared photodiode A trigger signal was sent to the computer which

continuously recorded digitized samples of the light intensity as the slit

scanned across the spectrum Since several tens of thousand such scans

were acquired and added in the computer memory within a few minutes this

improved the signal-to-noise ratio of the resulting spectrum The

rotational speed of the slotted disk was maintained constant to within

101j to preserve the spectral resolution while superimposing the scans

The computer was also used for spectral deconvolution and for the

calculation of optical densities

Since a single scan required only -10 msec atmospheric scintillation

effects had little effect on the signal Moreover since typically (2-8)

x 104 individual scans were recorded and signal-averaged over each several

minute measurement period even complete but momentary interruption of

the light beam had no appreciable effect on the final spectrum Except

under the haziest conditions stray light effects were negligible due to

the instruments narrow field of view -8 x 10-5 steradians] and in any

case stray light could be taken into account by means of appropriate

background spectra

The concentrations of atmospheric species were derived from Beers

Law However since the light intensity in the absence of any absorption

(1 0 ) cannot be obtained with this technique the differential optical

density was employed and thus only those compounds which have structured

absorption spectra could be measured Table IV-1 gives the characteristic

IV-3

absorption bands and detection limits for a number of atmospheric species

of interest based on a km pathlength It can be seen that the

detection limits range from 3 ppb for HCHO down to -10 ppt for the N03 radical For automatic scanning of spectra 32 or 40 reflections (corresshy

ponding to pathlengths of 800 and 1000 m respectively) were generally

employed and the corresponding detection limits for quantitative analyses

were then 06-07 ppb for HONO and 13-16 ppt for N03 radicals

C Results and Discussion

The SAPRC 25 m basepath DOAS system was set up at the Glendora site

in the specific orientation relative to other experiments conducted

during this field study as described in Section III

Essentially continuous DOAS measurements were conducted from August

13 until the morning of August 21 1986 Maximum ozone levels and peak

concentrations of N03 radicals during this study are sUD1Darized in Table

IV-2 Individual concentrations of HONO HCHO and N02 observed during

this period are given in tabular form in Appendix B and hourly average

data for these species are given in Tables IV-3 to IV-5 For the

majority of the time the pathlength was set to 800 m with a detection

limit equivalent to an optical density of 3 x o-14 bull The data reduction

process was more automated than previously and thus the detection limit was raised from 2 x 10-4 to 3 x 10-4 OD to offset the tendency of the

software to interpret noise at the detection limit as a peak The

corresponding detection limits were N02 35 ppb HOHO 08 ppb and

HCHO 45 ppb

Because the HONO and HCHO bands are overlapped by N02 bands and N02 is more abundant in the Los Angeles basin the DOAS spectra must be first

analyzed for N02 to enable its features to be quantitatively removed prior

to determining HONO and HCHO concentrations Figure IV-2 shows the timeshy

concentration profile for N02 from 0000 PDT on August 13 to 0800 PDT on

August 21 The solid line shows the DOAS data while the dashed line

shows measurements made by our chemiluminescence oxides of nitrogen

analyzer The two curves track each other very well during the nighttime

and early morning hours In the afternoon the NOx analyzer consistently

read 10 to 30 ppb higher since the DOAS values at those times were as low

as 15-25 ppb this caused a discrepancy of a factor of two or more The

higher values measured by the chemiluminescence method are attributed to

the known interferences of HN03 and PAN in this detection method

consistent with the levels or HN03 and PAN in the afternoon periods being

approximately equivalent to this difference in the DOAS N02 and chemilshy

After the quantitative removal of the N02 features from the OOAS

spectra the data reduction procedure utilized a simultaneous leastshy

squares fit or HON0 and HCHO reference spectra to the residual ambient air

spectra Figure IV-3 shows the time concentration profile for HCHO as

determined by DOAS (solid line) For comparison the FT-IR data from

Section V are shown as the dashed line The agreement between the two

methods is very good with the discrepancies being within the error

limits However it appears that the OOAS results for the first four

nights are consistently higher than the FT-IR data by about 1-3 ppb This

could be due to an overestimation of HCH0 absorption features in the OOAS

spectra since the reported FT-IR HCH0 levels were at or below the DOAS

detection limit of 45 ppb (where the signal-to-noise ratio was near

unity)

Finally the H0N0 time-concentration profile for August 13-21 is

presented in Figure IV-4 No comparison data are available for HON0 for

this study However as discussed above the only source of a large

systematic error would be the literature value for the HON0 absorption

cross-sections used in the calculations During the Citrus College field

study nighttime HON0 levels were higher than observed in the 1985

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study at Claremont where the maximum

HON0 concentrations were in the range 15 to 25 ppb For five of the

nights at Citrus College the HON0 concentrations were also in the same

range However for three nights H0N0 levels attained -35 ppb and

during the last night of the study H0N0 reached a maximum of Jamp5 ppb

There was however no correlation of the HON0 concentrations to the

nighttime N02 levels which were relatively constant at 60-75 ppb Since

the heterogeneous formation of H0N0 from N02 involves moisture correlashy

tions to other parameters such as relative humidity and particulate

loading may prove interesting

V LONG PATHLENGTH FT-IR MEASUREMENTS OF HN03 NH3 AND HCHO

A Introduction

As discussed elsewhere in more detail (Winer et al 1987) the long

pathlength FT-IR system was employed to provide benchmark data for the

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study held at Pomona College

(Claremont) in September 1985 Following this the FT-IR spectrometer

participated in our winter field study at El Camino CoDJDUnity College

(Torrance) Due to a need for a more detailed comparison of HN03 measurements by the FT-IR and tunable diode laser spectroscopic (TDLS)

methods than had been possible during the 1985 Claremont study the

longpath FT-IR system was subsequently set up in Glendora on the Citrus

College campus for more intensive measurements of HN03 and NH3 between

August 12-21 1986 In this study species coverage by the FT-IR method

was extended to include the measurement of formaldehyde (HCH0) Attempts

were also made to detect N2o5 in ambient air by thorough examination of

the spectra recorded in the late afternoon and evening hours Alllllonia

(NH3) was included among middot the species measured since in certain

localities it can profoundly affect the concentration of gaseous HN03 by

its reaction to form aerosol anmonium nitrate (Doyle et al 1979 Tuazon

et al 1980)

B Experimental

1 Kilometer Pathlength FT-IR System

Measurements of ambient air pollutants by infrared spectroscopy

were carried out using a recently constructed 25-m basepath open

multiple-reflection optical system interfaced to a Mattson Instruments

Inc Sirius 100 FT-IR spectrometer This spectr0111eter has a maximum

resolution capability of 0125 cm-1 and is equipped with a Motorola 68000-

based data system The long pathlength optics are of the three-mirror

White design (White 1942) with provisions for adding a corner reflector

at the in-focus end (Horn and Pimentel 1971) when desired to effectively

double the systems pathlength The mirrors in this new optical system

were fabricated from 30 cm diameter 6 cm thick Pyrex blanks and goldshy

coated for the best reflectivity (~99J) in the infrared The optimum

pathlength for monitoring was determined to be in the 1-1 5 km range

V-1

during routine operation although short-term use or optical patha greater

than 2 km were possible

As discussed in Section Ill the long pathlengtb FT-IR spectrometer

was operated alongside the long pathlength DOAS systell as shown in Figure

V-1 The optical layout of the FT-IR system is preaented in more detail

in Figure V-2 The sets or mirrors of the two spectrometers were arrayed

in opposite directions but aligned side by side in a compact arrangement

which made possible simultaneous analyses of virtually the same air

mass The FT-IR spectrometer was housed in an air conditioned shed while

the multiple reflection mirror assembly outside was shaded from direct

sunlight by protective shields While the spectrometer system had an

initial height of 1 2 m (above ground level) designed into the optical

axis this was raised to a total of 24 m (8 ft) the C0111110n sampling

height required for all analytical techniques being compared during this

field study Massive concrete blocks were employed as support structures

to attain this sampling height

2 Acquisition of Spectra

Spectra were recorded at a pathlength of 1150 meters and 0125 1cm- resolution unapodized) Sixty-four scans interferograms) were

added during a 45-min period and then transformed (calculation time of

-25 min) to a single beam spectrum Each spectrUII of 128 K points was 1truncated and the spectral region from 400 to 3000 cm- which contained

the absorption bands of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 used for analysis was retained

and archived

Four to five spectra per hour were collected This rate or data

collection permitted a real-time examination of the quality of spectra

being recorded and such checks were consistently made during daytime and

early evening hours 0800-2200 PDT) During the noncritical period of

2200-0600 hours when nitric acid was expected to be below the detection

limit the FT-IR spectrometer was programed to conduct automatic

monitoring

expanded plot or the HN03 spectrum in the range 870-910 cm- 1 is presented

in Figure V-11 to which is added a middotqualitative single beam spectrum or 1clean ambient air at a pathlength of 1150 m The Q-branch at 896 1 cm-

was the most appropriate one for quantitative measureaent because or its

favorable half-width and minimal interference by ataaspheric water vapor

We restricted our measurements to the heights of the sharp absorption (Qshy

branch) features only since measurements which include the broad undershy

lying envelope were more susceptible to unknown interferences The 8854 1cm- Q-branch was totally free of interferences but its relatively

narrower line shape was more susceptible to distortion by noise while the 1strongest Q-branch at 8789 cm- was severely overlapped by a strong water

line

Of the numerous sharp features of the NH3 spectna depicted in Figure

V-3 the lines at 11034 and 8679 cm-1 though not the strongest suffer

the least interference by H2o and CO2 absorption lines and were therefore

the ones chosen for analysis The line positions of NH3 relative to those

of atmospheric H20 (and CO2) in the 1080-1120 cm-1 region are shown in

Figure V-5 The calibration procedure for trn3 was straightforward

Spectra were recorded at O 125 cm- 1 resolution for several NH3 pressures

in the range 02-1 torr which were measured to within 10005 torr

accuracy with an MKS Baratron capacitance manometer The NH3 samples were

transferred to a 25-cm cell with KBr windows and pressurized with N2 gas

to atmospheric pressure No measurable decay of IH3 concentration was

observed within the 15-minute period during which repeat spectra were

recorded for each sample These data yielded absorptivities (base 10) at

23degC and 740 torr total pressure of 182 cm-1 atm-1 for the 11034 cm-1

peak and 97 cm-1 atm- 1 for the 8679 cm- 1 peak with uncertainties of t5J

(two standard deviations for both values

A similar calibration procedure was not possible for HN03 because of

its significant decay to the walls of the 25-cm cell We determined our

high resolution absorptivity values relative to the data of Graham and

Johnston (1978) who made an accurate determination of the absorptivity of

the HN03 4 ( 1325 cm- 1 fundamental band at -2 cm-1 resolution using two

independent methods for generating HN03 ( for more details see also Graham

1975) We assigned Graham and Johnstons ( 1978 absorptivity value

feature in our 0125 cm- 1 resolution spectrum after S1100thing the latter

to -2 cm-1 resolution The absorptivity tor a Q-branch (eg 8961 cm- 1)

at O 125 cm-1 resolution was then determined from the intensity ratio of

the unsmoothed Q-branch to the smoothed P-branch

Smoothing removes the fine structure superimposed on the bandv4 envelope and in order to test the adequacy of tbe smoothing function

1employed measurements were carried out in which 2 cm-1 and 0125 cm-

resolution spectra were recorded alternately for an 11103 sample To take

into account the HN03 decay in the cell the 1315 cm-1 peak heights at 2

cm- 1 resolution were plotted against time as were those or the 0125 cm- 1

resolution spectra after having been smoothed to -2 m-1 resolution The

two curves were found to be indistinguishable indicating the accuracy or

the smoothing function applied The above procedure yielded a value of

52 plusmn 04 cm- 1 atm-1 for the absorptivity (base 10) of the HN03 peak at

896 1 cm- 1 (Q-branch height only) with the two standard deviation error

including that reported by Graham (1975) This value is in fact the same

as that we previously determined for this peak at 05 cm-1 resolution

(Tuazon et al 1980) Following the same method the absorptivity of the

8854 cm-1 Q-branch was found to be 61 plusmn 05 cm-1 ata- 1bull

The calibration procedure for HCHO was the sue as that for NH bull3Formaldehyde samples were pre-distilled from paraformaldehyde and

immediately used after collection in a liquid nitrogen cooled trap The

absorptivity value of the 2781 0 cm- 1 Q-branch an absorption peak well

isolated from H2o absorptions was determined to be 89 plusmn 05 cm- 1 atm-1

4 Treatment of Data

The quantitative analysis of species such as NH3 which possess

relatively narrow Q-branch features which are sufficiently resolved from

atmospheric H2o absorptions was normally straightforward The absorbance

(log 10 1 was derived directly from the single beaa spectrum and thus a

ratio plot against an actual background spectrum was not necessary Proshy

vided that the detector had a linear response 10

and I as determined from

a single beam spectrum had values on an arbitrary scale in which zero

corresponded to zero signal on the detector The appropriate differential

absorption coefficient such as those determined above and the absorption

pathlength had to be applied to the absorption intensity measured between

V-9

and I in order to convert to concentration units This procedure was10

followed for the 11034 and 8679 cm-1 lines of NH3 Estimates of the HN03 concentration could also be obtained from

single-beam spectra by employing the 8854 cmmiddot1 Q-branch However the

HN03 analysis was more reliably carried out using the 8961 cm-1 Q-branch

by ratioing the sample spectrum with a clean background spectrum a

procedure which improved the baseline and resulted in essentially complete

cancellation of a very weak H20 interference Background spectra were

chosen from those recorded at around midnight during low pollution days

since previous measurements (Spicer et al 1982) showed HN03 levels that

were much lower (lt1 ppb) than the FT-IR detection limit under these

conditions

The peak-to-peak noise level in the ratio spectrum was typically

00025 absorbance unit base 10) corresponding to a 250 1 signal to

peak-to-peak noise ratio for single spectral records The absorption

peaks used for the analyses were much wider than the frequency of random

noise such that peak heights as small as the noise level could be

detected above the noise itself Thus the detection sensitivities were

3-5 ppb for HN03 1-2 ppb for NH3 and 2-3 ppb for HCHO The lower

detection limit for each compound was realized when turbulence due to

temperature gradients andor wind were minimal for example during

nighttime hours)

The possible detection of N2o5 depended on how well its broad band

centered at 1246 cm- 1 ( 12) could be discerned from interfering H20

absorptions The H2o interferences were reduced by ratioing the sample

spectra against selected background spectra taken during those periods

(mid-morning to noon) when N2o5 was believed not to be present due to the

rapid photolysis of No3 radicals Although exact cancellation of the H2o absorptions was not possible the windows between these absorptions were

sufficient to define a baseline from which the presence of a broad absorpshy

tion contour could be distinguished From the literature value of 188

cm- 1 atmmiddot 1 for the absorptivity of the 1246 cm-1 peak (Graham 1975 Graham

and Johnston 1978) it was calculated that 5 ppb N2o5 at a pathlength of

1150 m would give a signal of -001 absorbance unit (base 10) approxishy

mately 4 times the peak-to-peak baseline noise of the ratio spectrum

V-10

The largest source of uncertainty in the analyses was the noise level

in the spectrum with other errors being generally negligible We

assigned to each peak height measurement the maxillum error which was

equal to the peak-to-peak noise level For HN03 this error was 4 ppb

The uncertainty arising from the error in the absorptivity (of the 8961

cm- 1 Q-branch in this case) increased with the concentration However

this contribution to the overall error limit was relatively small for the

range of HN03 concentrations encountered For example it increased the

t4 ppb error by only 10j when included in the error calculation for an

HN03 concentration of 25 ppb For NH concentrations i20 ppb the sum of uncertainties due to noise3

and error in the absorptivity of the 11034 cm-1 line was plusmn15 ppb At

higher concentrations the contribution from the absorptivity error became

relatively more important A detailed plot of this error contribution as

a function of concentration revealed that it is nearly linear in the

concentration range 20 to 100 ppb permitting the additional error to be

calculated from the empirical formula (0044( [NH3]-20) ppb Thus for the measurement of 60 ppb NH3 the total error can be calculated as [ 15 +

0 044 )( 60-20)] = plusmn33 ppb

For the range of HCH0 concentrations encountered in the 1986 Glendora

study the measurement errors were less than plusmn3 ppb

C Results and Discussion

As discussed in Section II our measurements were conducted in

conjunction with the CARB-sponsored Carbonaceous Species Methods

Comparison Study which occurred from 0800 PDT August 12 to 0800 PDT

August 21 1986 ln contrast with the low level of air pollution during

the 1985 Claremont summer field study this August 1986 measurement period

at Citrus College was characterized by moderately high levels of photoshy

chemical activity Except for the second day of measurements the maximum

hourly average o3 concentrations exceeded 200 ppb each day

The FT-IR spectra obtained were analyzed for the simultaneous concenshy

trations of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 The detailed instantaneous data are

presented in Table V-1 and are plotted in Figure V-6 The hourly average concentrations are presented in Tables V-2 to V-4 Except for periods of

power disruption on August 14 and the loss of most of the daytime data on

August 17 due to a fault in archiving the data onto agnetic tapes the

FT-IR system provided continuous coverage of HCHO and 1H3 concentrations

since they were always above the respective detection 11llits of -2-3 ppb

and -1-15 ppb HN~ was generally above the -3-Ji ppb detection

sensitivity between 0800 hr and 2000 hr each day throughout the study

period As for the 1985 Claremont and the 1986 Torrance studies N2o5 was

not observed above the estimated detection limit of 4 ppb

The FT-IR analysis of formaldehyde was easily carried out with the

use of single-beam spectra since the HCHO infrared spectrum has a Qshy

branch at 27810 cm-1 well isolated from other atmospheric absorptions

HCHO was included as one of the species to be measured by FT-IR (except

during the first day) because of the need for a standard against which

other HCHO methods employed at this study could be compared Our

contribution to this aspect of the carbonaceous species study was to

provide HCHO measurements by both DOAS and FT-IR spectroscopy either

method of which can serve as a benchmark standard l comparison or the

two sets of spectroscopic data for HCHO has been discussed in Section IV

and comparison with the results of the other HCHO methods is currently

being carried out by Dr Douglas Lawson of the CARB

The NH3 concentrations observed in Glendora (Table V-2) during the

first six days or the field study (September 12-17 were generally in the

range of 2-4 ppb These levels are similar to those aeasured during the

1985 Claremont study for the periods when there was no localized transport

of NH3 to the latter site from nearby agricultural sources NH3 levels

during the remaining days (August 18-21 were more variable and generally

about twice the above range of values (Figure V-6 he erratic pattern

found in the NH3 concentrations during these three days which is also

noticeable in the more well-defined HCHO and HN03 concentration profiles

(Figure V-6 could well be due to the prevailing wind conditions

The maximum instantaneous concentrations of HN~ attained 20 ppb or

higher during the eight days that the FT-IR measurements provided detailed

HN03 profiles (Figure V-6) with the highest concentration of 33 ppb being

observed on August 19 Comparison of our Dasibi ozone data with the FT-IR

measurements of HN03 showed a strong correspondence between the HN03 and

maxima This is illustrated in Figure V-7 for the pollution episodeso3 of August 15-16 where the hourly average HN03 concentrations (by FT-IR)

VI AMBIENT CONCENTRATIONS OF PAH AND NITRO-PAH

A Introduction

The PAH emitted from combustion sources exhibit a wide range of

volatility and are hence distributed in the atmosphere between the gas

and particle phases As we have shown previously (Arey et al 1987)

complementary sampling techniques are required to obtain a comprehensive

data set concerning the concentrations of volatile and non-volatile PAH

and their derivatives in the atmosphere Thus the volatile 2-ring PAH such as naphthalene which are present almost entirely in the gas-phase

can be quantitatively collected on Tenax GC solid adsorbent The nonshy

volatile 5-ring and larger PAH and 3- to 4-ring nitro-PAH are particle

associated and are collected totally on the Hi-vol filters The 3- and 4-

ring PAH of intermediate volatility and the 2-ring nitro-PAH can be

collected on PUF plugs as well as on the filters indicating that they are

either present mainly in the gas-phase or are blown-off the filter

during the collection period Thus three different collection media were

employed for the ambient air sampling at Citrus College Tenax-GC solid

adsorbent PUF plugs and Hi-vol filters The ambient air samples were

collected from August 12 to August 21 with 12-hr day (0800-2000 PDT) and

night (2000-0800 PDT) sampling intervals

B Experimental

1 Sampling Media Cleaning Procedure

Tenax-GC solid adsorbent was Soxhlet extracted in a cellulose

thimble for -5 hr in a 64 (vv) acetonehexane mixture After packing in

Pyrex tubes (using precleaned glass wool) the Tenax cartridges were

conditioned for -4 hr by heating at 275degC with nitrogen flowing through

them at -20 mL min- 1 The Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters

and PUF plugs were cleaned by Soxhlet extraction for -16 hr in methylene

chloride followed by another 16 hr extraction with methanol

2 Tenax-GC Cartridges Sampling and Analysis

Two sizes of Tenax-GC cartridge were used for the collection of

gas-phase PAH at different flow rates Low-flow cartridges consisted of

10 cm x 4 nnn id Pyrex tubes packed with 0 1 g of Tenax GC solid

adsorbent with sampling flow rates of -1 L min-1 yielding an -06 m3

VI-1

volume of air for each 12-hr sampling period High-flow cartridges

consisted of 10 cm x 1 cm id Pyrex tubes packed with 06 g of Tenax-GC

and operated at flow rates of -10 L min-1 resulting in -6 m3 of air

sampled during a 12-hr period Each low-flow cartridge was equipped with

back-up Tenax cartridge placed in series downstream from the first

cartridge to check for breakthrough

After sampling the Tenax cartridges were stored in dry-ice transshy

ported to SAPRC and stored in a freezer prior to analysis

For analysis deuterated internal standards were added to the lowshy

and high-flow Tenax cartridges respectively as follows in microg)

naphthalene-d5 (18 16) biphenyl-d10 (07 10) phenanthrene-d 10 (06

06) The low- and high-flow cartridges were eluted with 2 mL and 10 mL respectively of diethyl ether which was then solvent exchanged to -02

mL of acetonitrile (using a micro-Snyder apparatus for the high-flow

cartridges)

PAH identifications and quantifications were made by combined gas

chromatographymass spectrometry (GCMS) with multiple ion detection

(MID) as described in detail below

3 High-Volume Filters Followed by PUF Plugs Sampling and Analysis

Two high-volume sampler systems consisting of a TIGF filter

follow by four PUF plugs (-9 cm diameter x 5 cm thickness) [see Figure VI-

1] were run at -23 SCFM for 12 hr intervals yielding ambient samples

collected from -1000 m3 of air

Prior to analysis the PUF plugs were combined into six samples

consisting of a single day sample and a single nighttime sample from the

early portion of the study single day and single night samples from the

latter part of the study and composite samples from four day and four

nights Specifically the samples were (11) August 13 0800-2000 hr

(2) August 13-14 2000-0800 hr (3) August 15 16 17 and 18 0800-2000

hr (4) August 15-16 16-17 17-18 18-19 2000-0800 hr (5 August 20

0800-2000 hr (6 August 20-21 2000-0800 hr

The samples from a single 12-hr day or night collection period (ie

samples 1 2 5 and 6) each consisted of eight PUF plugs (four from each

of the two Hi-vols used and these were combined and extracted together

The composite samples 3 and 4 were each analyzed in two parts ~UF

plugs 1-3 (see Figure VI-1) and to check for breakthrough of the more

Soxhlet extracted overnight (-16 hr) with methylene chloride concentrated

by rotary evaporation under vacuum to -4 mL filtered through 045 microm

Acrodiscs (Gelman Sci) and concentrated further under a stream of

nitrogen to -500 microL

The extracts were fractionated by HPLC using an Altex semi-prepashy

rative scale Ultrasphere Silica column (1 cm x 25 cm) Figure VI-2 shows

a typical HPLC profile of a PUF plug extract together with the mobile

phase program employed A fraction containing the PAH was collected from

4 min to 22 min and a nitroarene-containing fraction from 22 min to 34

min The fractions were concentrated by rotary evaporation then taken

just to dryness under a stream of nitrogen After dissolving in acetoshy

nitrile or CH2c12 the PAH and nitroarene fractions were analyzed by

GCMS-MID as described below

4 Hi-Vols with TIGF Filters Sampling and Analysis

Seven Hi-vol samplers each equipped with a 10 microm cut-off inlet

were employed for POM collection The samplers were run at -40 SCFM

yielding an ambient sample collected from -800 m3 of air for each Hi-vol

over a 12-hr sampling period Two Hi-vols were employed solely for the

collection of POM used for mutagenicity testing The TIGF filters from

the remaining five Hi-vols were combined into six samples corresponding to

the PUF plug samples described above ie samples 1 and 2 and samples

5 and 6 comprised the single day and night samples from August 13-14 and

August 20-21 respectively and samples 3 and 4 were the composite day

and night samples from August 15-16 16-17 17-18 and 18-19 The filter

extraction and work-up procedure was as shown in Scheme VI-1 Each sample

was spiked with deuterated internal standards as follows (single 12-hr

5 GCMS Analyses

Compound identifications and quantifications were made using

either a Finnigan 3200 quadrupole GCMS interfaced to a Teknivent data

system or a Hewlett Packard 5890 GC interfaced to a Hewlett Packard 5970

mass selective detector MSD) both operated in the electron impact mode

(70 eV) The GC separations were done either on a 60 m DB-5 fused silica

capillary column with a cool on-column injection system (J ampWScientific

Inc) or on a 30 m DB-5 fused silica capillary column with splitless

injection Both columns eluted directly into the MS ion source

Calibration curves for the GCMS-MID quantification of the PAH were

made for the molecular ion peaks of the PAH using the corresponding

deuterated species (or the deuterated species most closely matched in

volatility and retention characteristics) as an internal standard The

C Results

1 Volatile PAH Sampled on Tenax-GC Cartridges

The most abundant PAH collected on the Tenaz-GC cartridges were

naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene GC~ analysis of Tenax

samples in the full scanning mode (rather than the MID mode used for

quantification) showed that not unexpectedly several alkylbenzenes were

also very abundant Table VI-1 sUJ11Darizes the ambient concentrations (ng

m-3) of the volatile PAH measured For reasons which will be detailed

below the naphthalene data from the low-flow cartridges have been

utilized while the data for the remaining PAH have been taken from the

values obtained from the high-flow cartridges

In Appendix B Table B-1 the microg quantities of each PAH measured on

the low-flow Tenax cartridges (for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications)

and the calculated total volumes for each sample are listed Replicate

injections gave reproducible values for naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylshy

naphthalene while the levels of biphenyl fluorene and phenanthrene were

too low for accurate quantification Also listed in Table B-1 are the

quantities of PAH observed on the back-up Tenax cartridges which were

also generally too low for accurate quantification Table B-2 lists the

microg quantities measured and volumes sampled for the high-flow cartridges

Since the volumes of air sampled on the high-flow cartridges was a factor

of 10 greater than the low-flow cartridges biphenyl fluorene and phenshy

anthrene could be accurately determined and in addition acenaphthylene

and acenaphthene were measured

Only traces of naphthalene were observed on the Tenax cartridges

which were back-up cartridges for the low-flow Tenax ie less than a

few percent of that measured on the primary cartridge Therefore

naphthalene was collected quantitatively on the low-flow Tenax Table VI-

2 compares the ambient naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene concenshy

trations calculated from the low-flow and high-flow Tenax cartridges The

high-flow values for naphthalene were consistently lower than those

obtained from the low-flow Tenax samples indicating that naphthalene was

not collected quantitatively at a collection rate of 10 L min- 1 at the

ambient temperatures encountered at Citrus College Hence the low-flow

Tenax values for naphthalene are given in Table VI-1

( There is good agreement between the nighttime concentrations of the

1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes calculated from the low- and high-flow Tenax

samples For the daytime samples when the observed concentrations were

generally low the high-flow values tended to be somewhat higher than the

low-flow values and were judged to be more accurate It should be noted

that the low-flow values for 1-methylnaphthalene have been corrected for a

significant interference which was observed on the back-up Tenax

2 PAH Sampled on PUF Plugs

GCMS analysis of the HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts in

which the PAH elute (see Figure VI-2) showed this fraction to contain many

less abundant alkyl-PAH and dibenzothiophene as well as fluorene phenshy

anthrene anthracene fluoranthene and pyrene It must be remembered that

these PAH will be distributed between the gaseous and particle phases in

ambient air and that the quantities measured on the PUF plugs are the sum

of the PAH in the gas phase and the PAH initially present on the POM but

blown-off during the collection period

The ambient concentrations of five PAH and the sulfur heterocycle

dibenzothiophene measured on the PUF plugs are given in Table vI3 The

most abundant PAH collected on the PUF plugs was fluorene From the

composite samples in which the fourth PUF plugs were analyzed separately

it was obvious that fluorene (mw 166) and PAH of higher volatility were

not collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs since substantial amounts

were present on the fourth PUF (see Table VI-3) Consistent with fluorene

not being collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs the ambient concenshy

trations of fluorene listed in Table VI-1 from the Tenax cartridge quanshy

tifications are -2-5 fold higher than those listed in Table VI-3 The

ambient concentrations of phenanthrene measured on the PUF plugs and Tenax

cartridges agree to within better than a factor of two

Figure VI-4 shows the GCMS-MID traces of naphthalene and alkylshy

naphthalenes for the Tenax and PUF samples from the evening of 813-1486

From the Tenax sample trace it is clear that naphthalene was the most

abundant species (at a measured concentration of -5000 ng m-3)

Comparing the Tenax and PUF sample traces it is apparent that naphthalene

was retained on the PUF plugs only to a minor extent (with a measured

concentration of -2 ng m-3 Interestingly although not quantitatively

collected on the PUF plugs the presence of dimethylnaphthalenes in

ambient air is apparent from the PUF samples

3 Diurnal Variations in the Volatile PAH

The ambient concentrations of naphthalene measured for 12-hr day

and night sampling intervals throughout the Citrus College study are shown

in Figure VI-5 It can be seen from these data that the naphthalene conshy

centrations were generally higher during the evening sampling intervals

and that there was a trend toward higher concentrations in the latter part

of the study

The daytime and nighttime concentrations of _ and 2-methylnaphthashy

lene are shown in Figure VI-6 As observed for naphthalene the nighttime

concentrations were generally higher The concentration of 2-methylshy

naphthalene was consistently higher than that of 1-methylnaphthalene The

concentration profiles of the methylnaphthalenes were remarkably similar

perhaps indicating a common source and similar atmospheric loss processes

Reaction with the hydroxyl radical is expected to be the major loss

process for both species with essentially identical atmospheric lifetimes

for 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987a)

All of the volatile PAH were generally more abundant during the

nighttime than daytime sampling intervals (see Table VI-1 and VI-3

Meteorological factors such as inversion heights may certainly have played

a role in this observed trend at Citrus College bu it can be seen that

these diurnal variations are not solely due to meteorology by comparing

the diurnal profiles of species of differing reactiviy For example the

GCMS-MID traces for the molecular ion of biphenyl a11d acenaphthene (mz

154 for a typical daytime and nighttime Tenax sample are shown in Figure

VI-7 As seen from this figure acenaphthene [the ioore reactive of these

PAH (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b] was generally significantly more

abundant in the nighttime samples presumably beig removed by rapid

reaction with the OH radical during daylight hours

GCMS-MID traces of daytime and nighttime PUF samples showing the

analyses of isomeric PAH of differing reactivity are shown in Figures VI-8

and VI-9 While phenanthrene was abundant on both ~~e day and nighttime

PUF plug samples the relative abundance of anthracen~ to phenanthrene was

consistently higher at night Figure VI-8) Similarly acephenanthrylene

an isomer of fluoranthene and pyrene expected to be more reactive than

these PAH towards ozone (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) was generally not

observed in the daytime PUF samples from Citrus College (Figure VI-9)

4 Nitroarenes Sampled on PUF Plugs

The HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts eluting from 22 to 34

min (Figure VI-2) contained the volatile nitroarene species The most

abundant nitroarenes were 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene GCMS analysis in

the full scanning mode showed that this nitroarene-containing HPLC

fraction also contained alkylnitrophenols

Figure Vl-10 shows GCMS-MID traces from a typical analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug extract for 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene (NN) As

seen from this figure identification was based on the presence of several

characteristic fragment ions as well as retention time matching with the

1-nitronaphthalene-d7 internal standard Figure VI-11 shows the presence

of several peaks at mz 187 which elute after 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene

These peaks were identified as methylnitronaphthalenes ( 14 isomers are

possible on the basis of the presence of characteristic [M-N02]+ and [Mshy

HN02J+ fragment ions as well as the mz 187 molecular ion

GCMS-MID traces of a standard mixture of the three nitrobiphenyl

isomers and two isomers of nitroacenaphthene are shown in Figure VI-12

5-Nitroacenaphthene has previously been reported in ambient air (Tokiwa et

al 1981) At Torrance CA during a wintertime high-NOx episode we did

not observe nitroacenaphthene but measured high concentrations of the

isomeric species 3-nitrobiphenyl (Arey et al 1987) In Figure Vl-13 the

[Mr ions of the standard mixture are shown together with the [M)+ ions

and characteristic fragment ion traces obtained from the analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug sample As at Torrance CA the nitroarene isomer

of mw 199 observed at Citrus College was clearly 3-nitrobiphenyl

Table Vl-4 gives the microg quantities of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and

3-nitrobiphenyl collected on the PUF plugs at Citrus College From the

fourth PUF plugs of the composite samples it can be seen that 3-

nitrobiphenyl was quantitatively collected on the first three PUF plugs

Particularly during the daytime samples some breakthrough of 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene occurred In addition to these nitroarene species

traces of 9-nitroanthracene were observed in most of the Citrus College

PUF plug samples but the levels present were too low to quantify

5 PAH Sampled on TIGF Filters

As described in Section B above the extracts of the TIGF filters

were fractionated by HPLC HPLC fractions 2-5 (see Figure VI-3) were

collected as the PAH fraction with fractions 6-7 being chosen to include

the n i troarenes Through the use of deuterated internal standards it

became apparent that the higher molecular weight PAH such as dibenz(ah)shy

anthracene were eluting in HPLC fractions 6-7 The data reported here

for the PAH on filters will be for the lower molecular weight species

ie fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and

benzo(a)pyrene Fractions 6-7 will be analyzed for the higher molecular

weight PAH and the full range of data for PAH on particles will be given

in our final report for our on-going CARB project (Contract No A5-185-

32) A survey of ambient concentrations of selected polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons (PAH) at various locations in California

Table VI-6 lists values for fluoranthane pyrene benz(a)anthracene

chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene in the NBS SRM 1649 an air

particulate sample collected in Washington DC The values recently

reported by the NBS (Wise et al 1986) for analyses by GC and HPLC with

fluorescence detection along with our values determined by GCMS-MID are

given The extraction and clean-up procedures we used for the SRM

particles were as described in Section B for the Citrus College POM sample

analyses As can be seen from Table VI-6 the agreement between our

values and those reported by NBS is generally excellent

The microg quantities of the five PAH measured in the Citrus College POM

samples for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications are given in Appendix B

Table B-3 The concentrations of these five PAH in ng m-3 (averaging the

replicate values) are given in Table VI-7 Two additional samples 7 and

8 repeat day and night composites are also listed in Tables B-3 and

VI-7 It was found that in taking the benzenemethanol extracts to a

constant weight a significant fraction of the deuterated internal stanshy

dards fluoranthene-d 10 pyrene-d 10 and even 2-nitrofluoranthene-d9 were

lost The use of internal standards should of course allow for correcshy

tion of such losses Since all of the filters from each day or night

comprising these composites had not been extracted we made replicate

composite samples and extracted these replicates with dichloromethane As

can be seen from Table VI-7 the composites and the repeat composites

VI-28

agree to within better than a factor of two In our current procedure for

POM analyses the benzenemethanol extract is not taken to dryness

6 Nitroarenes Sampled on TlGF Filters

The ambient concentrations of the nitrofluoranthenes and nitroshy

pyrenes measured for the six Citrus College POM samples are given in Table

VI-7 As we have observed previously (Pitts et al 1985c Ramdahl et al

1986 Arey et al 1987) 2-nitrofluoranthene was the most abundant

particle-associated nitroarene The GCMS-MID trace of the molecular ion

for the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (mz 247) from the August 20-

21 1986 2000-0800 PDT sample is shown in Figure VI-14 This sample

VII AMBIENT MUTAGENICITY

A Introduction

For the past several years the mutagenicity of ambient P0M has been

recognized as a characteristic of polluted urban atmospheres Further-

more although airborne particulate matter contains many carcinogenic PAH

its mutagenic activity does not resemble that of the PAH which require

mammalian metabolic activation (S9) as a requisite for expression of their

mutagenicity in the Ames Salmonella test Instead ambient P0M is

directly active ie expressing mutagenicity without the addition of

S9 and thus showing that other classes of organic chemicals which are

direct-acting mutagens are also present in ambient air

As an integral part of the CSMCS carried out at Citrus College

Glendora we measured the mutagenicity of collected 12-hour particulate

samples both with and without mammalian metabolic activation on

Salmonella strain TA98 Additionally we obtained mutagenicity data on

strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6

B Experimental

Sample Preparation for Mutagenicity Testing As noted in Section

II I POM samples were collected on a 12-hr basis throughout the study

period from 0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT The collected particulate

matter from two Hi-vols fitted with 10 microm cut-off inlets was weighed and

the filters Soxhlet extracted for 16-hr using a benzenemethanol (8020

azeotrope The solvent was removed under vacuum and the extracts were

taken to dryness under a stream of dry nitrogen Prior to mutagenicity

testing the sample extracts were stored in the dark at -75degC On the day

of the test each extract was taken up in DMS0 using a 20-minute

sonication and serial dilutions in DMS0 were made from this stock

solution

Tester Strains Ames Salmonella strain TA98 was used because of its

sensitivity to atmospheric particulate mutagens such as the nitroarenes

(Rosenkranz and Mermelstein 1983 and each particulate extract was tested

on this strain both in the presence and the absence of manmalian metabolic ( activation (S9 Each sample was also tested on strains TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6 in the absence of S9 as a possible indication of nitroarene

VII-1

mutagenicity TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 are isolates of TA98 which are

deficient in a nitroreductase Rosenkranz and Speck 1975 McCoy et al

1981 and a transacetylase enzyme (McCoy et al 1983 Orr et al 1985

Saito et al 1985 respectively The deficiency or these enzymes which

are required in the activation of many nitroarenes to penultimate

mutagens renders these strains less sensitive than TA98 to many mutagenic

nitroarenes Thus when a complex mixture exhibits less activity on

TA98NR or TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 it may be an indication of the

contribution of ni troarenes to the mutagenic activity of that sample

Table VII-1 shows the response of TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to

TA98 for several mutagenic atmospheric nitroarenes

The strains were cultured in 40 mL of L-broth for 12 hours at 37degC

with shaking The culture density was estimated by its absorbance at 550

nm and each strain was diluted with fresh medium to an absorbance

previously calculated to yield the standard culture density of 109 colony

forming units per mL (approximately 028 absorbance units) After

dilution the cultures were maintained in an ice bath for the duration of

the test The titer of each culture was determined by dilution and

plating on histidine-supplemented medium E The standard genotypic

markers which were routinely checked were crystal violet sensitivity UV

sensitivity and ampicillin resistance Three standard positive-control

mutagens were tested on each strain 1) 2-nitrofluorene a positive

control mutagen which we have used for the past ten years to check the

response of TA98 was also used to check the reduced response of TA98NR

relative to TA98 2 18-dinitropyrene was used to check the reduced

response of TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 and TA98NR for nitroarenes

which require the Salmonella transacetylase for activation and 3)

quercetin was used to check the equivalent response of these strains to

non-nitroarene mutagens Additionally benzo(apyrene was tested on

TA98(+S9) to check the response of this strain to indirect mutagens

Our testing protocol consistently results in somewhat higher

mutagenicities than other laboratories which we attribute primarily to

the use of L-broth instead of Oxoid broth to culture the tester strains

L-broth has about twice the amount of histidine as does Oxoid and its use

results in larger amounts of histidine on the test plate Because it is

the limiting growth factor a higher amount of histidine results in a

higher number of cells on the test plate and hence a higher number of

revertants (Maron and Ames 1983) The use of L-broth also results in a

somewhat denser background lawn of unreverted Salmonella but colony

morphology and visibility are unaffected

S9 Mix Arochlor 1254-induced rat liver S9 was prepared by Litton

Bionetics Inc according to the method of Ames et al (1975) and containshy

ed 26 mg mL- 1 protein (manufacturers analysis) NADP was purchased from

Boehringer Mannheim and glucose-6-phosphate was purchased from Sigma

Chemical Company

The S9 mix was prepared by the standard protocol (Ames et al 1975

Maron and Ames 1983) with 001 ml S9 per plate c2i vv mix) This S9

concentration was chosen since we have previously found a 2i vv mix to be

optimal in activating ambient particulate extracts collected in southern

California Frequently the use of S9 in testing ambient POM results in a

net decrease in activity as deactivation of direct mutagens overrides the

presumed activation of indirect mutagens such as the PAH Many

nitroarenes are also subject to this S9 suppression of activity

VI-3

Testing Protocol The standard Ames Salmonella plate incorporation

mutagenicity test was performed according to the method of Ames and coshy

workers (Ames et al 1975 Maron and Ames 1983) with some modifications to

improve its accuracy and precision (Belser et al 1981) Because of the

large number of plates required for the complete set of samples the

extracts were assayed in two tests 1) TA98 with and without S9 and 2)

TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 without S9 By dividing the tests by strain the

variation in response within one sample set was minimized Each extract

was tested in triplicate at eight doses chosen to logarithmically span the

region of linear response observed in the past for ambient P0M In

anticipation of lower activities on TA98NR and TA981 8-DNP6 the doses

chosen for these strains were twice as great as those for TA98 Hence

each sample was tested at 3 6 11 21 38 70 135 and 250 microg plate- 1 on

TA98 and at 6 12 22 42 76 140 270 and 500 microg plate-1 on TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6

Each test was performed in a single afternoon by means of a procedure

designed to improve intraday precision Belser et al 1981) Darkroom

conditions were employed throughout to prevent any photodecomposi tion of

the samples which might occur under laboratory fluorescent 1 ights The

plates were incubated at 37degC for 63 hours and counted with a Biotran

automatic colony counter (New Brunswick Scientific) directly interfaced to

a microcomputer ( Apple II) The extract potencies or specific activishy

ties were obtained by 1 inear regression analysis of the dose-response

data in the region of linear response The slope of the dose-response 1curve is the specific activity in revertants microg- The ratios of the

specific activities on strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98

were then calculated

From the specific activities the extract weights and the weights of

the particulate matter collected the potencies of the particulate matter

or mutagen loadings in revertants per mg of particulate matter collected

were calculated Finally from the specific activities the extract

weights and the volumes of sampled air the airborne mutagenicity conshy

centrations or mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of sampled air

were calculated

in Tables VII-2 to VII-5 The concurrent General Motors Laboratories

mutagen density data (J Siak T L Chan and G T Wolff private

connnunication) are included in Table VII-5 for comparison As we have

observed before in southern California the sampled POM was principally

directly active the average direct activity (TA98 -S9 was 345 rev m-3

as compared to 332 rev m-3 with metabolic activation TA98 +S9 Figure

VII-1 shows the mutagen density with and without S9 observed during this

study The values are intermediate in the range of mutagen densities we

have observed before in southern California and followed a general trend

towards higher values at the end of the study Figure VII-2 shows the

TA98 +S9 to TA98 -S9) ratio together with the TA98 (-S9) mutagen

density which are anticorrelated Thus sampling periods with higher

direct mutagenicity tended to be those which exhibited less promutagenshy

icity and greater direct activity This observation is consistent in a

qualitative manner with the presence in ambient POM of nitroarenes

The final nighttime sampling period during this study 820-2186

2000-0800 PDT) was unusual because of the high levels of volatile and nonshy

volatile nitroarenes present in the atmosphere For example the 2-nitroshy

fluoranthene concentration was a factor of ~5 greater than on the previous

day and the 1-nitronaphthalene concentration increased by over a factor of

two Concurrent observations of the presence of the nitrate radical

indicated that chemistry could have been occurring on this nightN2o5 Our measured mutagen density however declined by a factor of two

inconsistent with these other observations Moreover in contrast to our

results researchers at General Motors Laboratories using CH2c12 as an

extraction solvent observed a significant increase in mutagenicity (TA98

-S9) from the daytime 82086 0800-2000 PDT) sample to the nighttime

(820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) sample in their tests Since we had used a

benzene-methanol azeotrope as the extraction solvent system we decided to

retest the POM collected during these final two sampling periods using

dichloromethane as the extraction solvent

For this second mutagenicity test using CH2c12-extraction POM

collected on TGF filters in Hi-vol samplers modified to allow PUF plugs

to be placed downstream from the filters was employed These modified Hishy

vol samplers were operated at a flow rate or 23 SCFM instead of the

conventional 40 SCFM) to ensure that the flow controller remained

operative One filter from the daytime (82086 0800-2000 PDT) and one

filter from the nighttime 820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) collection period

were Soxhlet extracted for 16 hours with CH2c12 and tested on TA98 -S9)

The results or this collection and mutagenicity test are given in

Table VII-6 together with the data for our previous test of the benzene-methanol extracts As can be seen from the TSP data the modified

samplers collected more particulate matter than the standard Hi-vol as

expected since these Hi-vols were not equipped with a size-selective

inlet This was not expected to have greatly affected the mutagenicity

results however because very little mutagenicity is present on particles

larger than -10 micro

The more polar benzene-methanol solvent system extracted much more

material than did CH2c12 bull Despite the larger amount of polar material

present in the benzene-methanol samples the mutagen density for the

nighttime sample is three-fold lower than for the corresponding CH2c12-

extracted sample In contrast the mutagen density for the benzeneshy

methanol daytime sample is somewhat higher than for the corresponding

CH2c12-extracted sample Apparently the polar material in the benzeneshy

methanol extract of the nighttime sample inhibited the mutagenicity of

this extract probably through toxic or bacteriostatic action In

contrast the mutagenici ty of the polar compounds in the daytime sample

overcame any inhibitory effect

These observations illustrate the inherent compromises in choosing a

solvent system for extracting ambient POM The benzene-methanol solvent

system was chosen precisely because it extracts more polar material than

does CH2c12 and does not generate the artifactual mutagenicity associated

with the use of acetonitrile Indeed because inhibitory compounds may be

of the same polarity as mutagens every solvent system must result in an

underestimation of the mutagenicity of ambient POM This underscores the

need for identification and quantification of ambient mutagens Once

identified and tested for mutagenicity in their pure form the known

mutagens in a sample can be quantified and an accurate sum of their

mutagenicities can be obtained

VIII CONCLUSIONS

The objectives of SAPRCs involvement in the ARB-funded CSMCS study

held at Citrus College Glendora CA during the period August 12-21

1986 were met Using long pathlength differential optical absorption and

Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopic techniques the

ambient concentrations of N02 HONO HCHO HN03 NH3 and the N03 radical

were monitored in an essentially continuous mode throughout this study

period Since these data were obtained using absolute in-situ spectroshy

scopic methods they have served as benchmark data for the evaluation of

other more portable measurement methods for the determination of HCHO

and HN03 concentrations during the SCAQS carried out in 1987

Based upon the experimental methods used and ambient air concentshy

ration data obtained in our recent study at El Camino Conmtunity College

Torrance we were able to employ a complementary set of sampling techshy

niques to provide a comprehensive data set concerning the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of both volatile and non-volatile PAH and nitroshy

arenes during this study at Citrus College Ambient atmospheric concenshy

tration data were obtained for the following PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-

methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene

phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)shy

anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene and the following

nitroarenes 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3- and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene The ambient concentrations of

the PAH cover a very large range (gt1000) with the most volatile PAH naphshy

thalene being the most abundant Indeed the naphthalene concentration

exceeded 1 ppb during the 12-hr nighttime period 2000-0800 PDT on August

20-21 and averaged 0 7 ppb (3700 ng m-3) over the entire study period

The next most abundant PAH were the 1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes with 2-

methylnaphthalene being about twice as abundant as 1-methylnaphthalene

The ambient concentrations of the PAH exhibited diurnal variations

with the concentrations generally being higher during the nighttime

sampling periods than during the daytime periods This diurnal variation

can most readily be seen for the volatile PAH which were sampled onto the

high and low flow Tenax cartridges and for which individual 12-hr analyses

were carried out This diurnal variation could in general be due to

VIII-1

differing daynight emission rates meteorology (with lower inversion

heights and hence higher concentrations during the nighttime periods

andor differing atmospheric removal rates due to chemical reactions The

observation (Table VI-1 that the magnitude of the diurnal variation

depended on the specific PAH with the largest variations being for the

most chemically reactive PAH indicates that part of this variation was

due to chemical removal of the PAH during daytime hours

The 2-3 ring PAH monitored using the Tenax cartridge system all react

with the OH radical during daylight hours (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and

Aschmann 1987b) with expected lifetimes due to this OH radical reaction

of approximately 3 days for biphenyl and fluorene and 2-12 hrs for the

other PAH The PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene acenaphthene

acenaphthylene and phenanthrene also react to a lesser extent with N2o5bull

In addition acenaphthene and acenaphthylene also react with N03 radicals

(Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) bull These andor radical removalN2o5 N03 processes were likely to be of minor significance during this study since

the N03 radical (and hence N2o5) concentrations were low In addition

acenaphthylene reacts with Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) with thiso3 removal process again being most important during daytime Interestingly

the ratio (average nighttime concentrationaverage daytime concentration)

correlates well with the OH radical reaction rate constant (which varies

from 7 x 10-12 cm3 molecule- 1 s-1 for biphenyl to 1 1 x 10-10 cm3 moleshy1cule-1 s- for acenaphthylene (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and Aschmann

1987b) as shown by the plot in Figure VIII-1 This good correlation

confirms our expectation that daytime reaction with the OH radical is an

important atmospheric removal process for the PAH present in the gas

phase

The nitroarenes also exhibit a diurnal concentration profile as

shown in Figure VIII-2 which gives our earlier data from Torrance CA

(Winer et al 1987) as well as from Citrus College Again this observed

diurnal variation in the nitroarene concentrations can be due to differing

emission rates differing formation rates from their parent PAH during

transport through the atmosphere meteorology or differing removal rates

during daytime and nighttime periods Our data for the PAH (Figure VIII-1)

show that meteorology at Citrus College had a relatively minor effect of

the order of 20J (estimated from the intercept representing no OH radical

( reaction) on the daynight concentration ratio Further it is expected

(Atkinson et al 1987) that the atmospheric OH radical reactions of the

nitroarenes will be relatively slow Hence since 3-nitrobiphenyl is not

expected to be emitted and the daytimenighttime emission rates of the

nitronaphthalenes are not likely to vary significantly the observed difshy

ferences in the daynight concentration profiles for 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl strongly suggest differing formation rates

In particular our observation that the daytime concentrations of 3-nitroshy

biphenyl are always higher than the nighttime concentration ( in total

contrast to the situation for the PAH) shows that 3-nitrobiphenyl must be

made in the atmosphere during daytime hours Indeed we have shown from

laboratory studies (Atkinson et al 1987) that the daytime OH radical

reaction with biphenyl (the only significant atmospheric chemical removal

process for biphenyl) forms 3-nitrobiphenyl in approximately 5j yield

1- and 2-Nitronaphthalene are also formed from the reaction of OH radicals

with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) but these nitroarenes can also be

formed from the nighttime reaction of naphthalene with N2o5 (Atkinson et

al 1987)

In our previous study in Torrance CA (Winer et al 1987) N03 radicals were not present during nighttime hours and hence the N2o5 forshy

mation route to the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes was not operative and the

daytime concentrations of the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes and 3-nitroshy

biphenyl were higher than during the nighttime as expected from a daytime

formation pathway via OH radical reaction from their parent PAH In

contrast at Citrus College N03 radicals were observed on several

evenings and both daytime and nighttime formation of 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene was hence possible (note that 3-nitrobiphenyl could only be formed

during the daytime) Indeed while the daytime 3-nitrobiphenyl concenshy

trations were higher than the nighttime concentrations the 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene concentrations were as high or higher during the

nights Even more interesting is the observation that during daytime the

1- and 2-nitronaphthalene concentrations were comparable consistent with

the similar formation yields from the daytime OH radical-initiated reacshy

tions with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) During nighttime however

the 1-nitronaphthalene concentrations were significantly higher than the

2-nitronaphthalene concentrations consistent with nighttime formation

from N2o5 reaction with naphthalene for which the 1- and 2-nitronaphthashy

lene yields are 15J and 7J respectively (Atkinson et al 1987

The ambient nitroarene concentrations also vary widely from compound

to compound and as with the PAH the most volatile nitroarenes are again

the most abundant Indeed as shown in Table VIII-1 the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl

(measured at both Torrance (Winer et al 1987) and Citrus College are

comparable to the ambient concentrations of fluoranthene and (not shown)

pyrene and are generally an order of magnitude higher than the concenshy

trations of 2-nitrofluoranthene the most abundant particle-associated

nitroarene

As noted in previous sections of this report the PAH themselves are

not directly mutagenic in the Ames assay without microsomal activation

The ambient atmospheric concentrations of the particle-associated nitroshy

arenes (which are direct-acting mutagens when combined with their

mutagenic activities (Table VII-1) allow the ambient mutagenic densities

resulting from the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (by far the most

abundant particle-associated nitroarenes to be calculated Table Vlll-2

8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene for the six time-periods for

nitropyrenes ranged from approximately 1-9 rev m-3_ 2-Nitrofluoranthene

buted by the nitroarenes of molecular weight 247

These calculated nitrofluoranthene and nitropyrene mutagen densities

account for typically 10J of the measured ambient mutagenicity It is

difficult to cite a definite numerical contribution of the nitrofluorshy

anthenes and nitropyrenes to ambient mutagenicity due to potential

problems in the Ames assay as discussed in Section VII above This 10J

figure for the contribution of the particle-associated nitroarenes to

ambient mutagenicity is consistent with the values given by Arey et al

(1988) and shows that the majority ie typically 90j of the mutagenishy

city of ambient POM is presently unaccounted for Ihis as yet unaccountshy

ed for direct-acting mutagenicity could be associated with other PAH-

VIII-6

( derivatives formed in the atmosphere during transport from source to

receptor or from other classes of organics Further work to attempt to

determine the identity of these other mutagens and their sources (direct

emissions versus atmospheric formation) is clearly necessary

In the Carbonaceous Soecies Mthoos Catparison Study in August 1986 at Citrus COllege Glendora CA the ambient concentrations of N~ HONO and HCHO were measured by long pathlength a1rrerent1a1 optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) Ambient concentrations of HNO]t NH3 and HCHO were measured by long patblength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy Signiticant concentrations of these pollutants were observed with mixing rat1s ot up to approximately 140 45 30~ 20 and 15 parts-per-billion (ppb) for N02 HONO ~bull HCHO and NH3 respectively being determined

In addition allbient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr nightshytime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF) plugs and Teflon-impregshynated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples 1were analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associat~d polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and nitroarenes The mutagen densities obtained were consistent with those measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin The following PAH and nitroarenes were observed and quantified naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz ( a )anthracene chrysenetriphenylene benzo(a)pyrene 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3-and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene

I bull PROJECT SUMMARY

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides of nitrogen precursors are complex and

it is necessary to have measurements of the reactant and product species

in as detailed a manner as possible in order to provide a data base

suitable for input into airshed computer models These organic compounds

may be distributed between the gas and particle phases and hence measureshy

ments of their concentrations in both phases must be carried out In

order to allow for a methods development and methods intercomparison prior

to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California

Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two methods intercomparison studies one

in 1985 at Claremont concerning the measurement of nitrogenous species

and a second at Citrus College GleQdora during August of 1986 dealing

principally with the intercomparison of measurement methods for organic

and carbonaceous species

In the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study (CSMCS) at

Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center

(SAPRC) carried out the measurement of several inorganic and organic

species Specifically the following measurements were made

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS) we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02) nitrous acid (HONO) and

formaldehyde (HCHO

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption specshy

troscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) ammonia (NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF)

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbons PAH) and nitroarenes

The DOAS and FT-IR systems utilized 25 m base-path multiple-reflecshy

tion optical systems aligned parallel to one another with the optical

beams being -24 m above the ground surface An extensive data set for

the gas-phase concentrations of N02 HONO HN03 HCHO (by both DOAS and

FT-IR spectroscopy NH3 and the N03 radical was obtained during this

study period The complete data set is tabulated in detail in Sections IV

1-1

and V of this report and Figures I-1 and I-2 show the HCHO HN03 and NH3 time-concentration profiles obtained by FT-IR spectroscopy (Figure I-1)

and the HONO time-concentration profile as monitored by DOAS (Figure I-2)

respectively These two figures and the data presented in Sections IV and

V show that significant concentrations of these pollutants were present

during this sampling period with ambient concentrations of up to

approximately 140 45 30 20 and 15 ppb for N02 BONO HN03 HCHO and

w3 respectively A definitiVe measurement of the presence of No3 radicals was made only on one night during this study (due to the

detection limit for this species) with a peak N03 radical concentration

of 70 ppt being measured on the night of August 13 The presence of N03 radicals at levels lt40 ppt was observed on the evenings of August 13 19

and 20

Ambient particulate organic matter (POM) was collected on a 12-hr

daytime and nighttime sampling period (0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT) and

was tested for mutagenicity towards Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98

with and without added S9) TA98NR (-S9) and TA9818-DNP6 (-S9) The

measured mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of air sampled are given

in Table I-1 These mutagen densities are consistent with those we have

measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin As also observed

previously the mutagen densities and mutagenic activity of the POM

measured in the presence and absence of S9 are essentially indistinguishshy

able with average mutagen densities (strain TA98) of 33 and 35 rev bull-3 with and without S9 respectively

Ambient air was also sampled on filters and solid adsorbents in order

to collect the gas- and particle associated PAH and PAH-derivatives for

combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis Three collection

systems were used to sample ambient air low and high-flow ( 1 and 10 L

min- 1 respectively) cartridges packed with Tenax-GC solid adsorbent to

sample the volatile PAH such as naphthalene and the methylnaphthalenes

Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters backed up by polyurethane

foam (PUF plugs to sample the semi-volatile PAH and nitroarenes present

seven locations in California at which sampling was to be conducted to

obtain data concerning the ambient levels of mutagenicity and of PAH

(including PAH derivatives such as the nitro-PAH) to which populations

were exposed The Glendora site was chosen as the site impacted by

vehicle emissions The mutagenicity data and the concentrations of the

PAH and PAH-derivatives observed at this site are hence an integral part

of our ongoing study A Survey of Ambient Concentrations of Selected

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) at Various Locations in California

11 INTRODUCTION

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides or nitrogen precursors are exceedingly

complex and in order to provide a data base suitable for input into

airshed computer models it is necessary to have measurenents of the reacshytant and product species in as detailed a manner as possible Since these

organic compounds may be distributed between the gas anltI particle phases

measurements of both the gas- and particle-phase concentrations of organic

chemicals must be carried out In order to allow for a methods developshy

ment and methods intercomparison prior to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two

methods intercomparison studies one in 1985 at Clarsont concerning the

measurement of nitrogenous species and a second at Citrus College

Glendora during August of 1986 dealing principally with the intercomparishy

son or measurement methods for organic and carbonaceous species

In this Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study at Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Researcplusmn Center (SAPRC) was

involved in the measurement of a number of inorganic and organic species

Specifically we measured the atmospheric concentrations of the following compounds

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02 nitrous acid (HONO) and formaldehyde (HCHO)

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) anmonia NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyllethane foam PUF

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber TIGF filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbOns (PAH) and nitroarenes

Furthermore the measurements of the ambient atmspheric concentrashy

tions of PAH and PAH-derivatives at Citrus College formed one part of a

further ambient measurement study funded by the ARB Contract No AS-185-

32 dealing with the ambient concentrations of PAH ant PAR-derivatives at

11-1

seven sites throughout California impacted by differing combustion

emission sources The Citrus College site served as the vehicle emissionshyimpacted site for this study

The description or the site at Citrus College Glendora and the

experimental procedures and data obtained from these measurement methods are detailed in the following sections

111 DESCRIPTION OF SITE

As noted earlier this monitoring program was conducted in conshy

junction with the ARB-funded carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison

Study As shown in Figure 111-1 the ARB selected a site adjacent to the

football stadium on the campus of Citrus College for this study The

orientation and relationship of the long pathlength n-IR and OOAS systems

to other investigators is shown in Figure 111-2 The SAPRC high-volume

(Hi-vol) samplers were located Just north of the mobile vans and trailers

of other investigators The optical spectrometers were elevated on

concrete blocks to achieve a 24 m (8 ft) height for the optical beams in

order to minimize the influences or dry deposition of nitric acid and

other nitrogenous species This requirement necessitated a major

restructuring or the FT~IR and DOAS instrument supports In order to

augment the 12 m 4 ft height initially designed into the optical axes

or both of the long pathlength mirror assemblies while at the same time

preventing extraneous vibrations the spectrometers mirror systems and

their housings wereset on massive concrete blocks

Six 4 ft x 4 ft x 10 ft concrete structures were rented from the

Pyramid Precast company which provided the necessary machinery to

position the blocks on premarked areas at the study site Three of these

blocks constituted the support platform for the FT-IR and DOAS assemblies

at each end of the optical path (see Figure 111-2) New 9 ft x 12 ft

sheds were procured and constructed on these platforms during the last

week of August and the first week of September Subsequent assembly and

testing of the spectrometers and optical systems was completed in time for

the scheduled start of the field study on September 11 1985

As shown in Figure 111-2 the two SAPRC 25 m basepath optical systems

were set up parallel to each other and to the scaffolding which supported

most of the samplers from other groups participating in the intercomparishy

son study The optical systems were aligned in a north-south orientation

to minimize scattered light problems at sunrise and sunset and positioned

due west of the scaffolding and various mobile vans and trailers f The study period began at 0800 PDT on Tuesday August 12 and conshy

tinued until 0800 PDT on August 21 The FT-IR and DOAS systems operated

essentially continuously during this period with FT-IR spectra being

IV MEASUREMENTS OF HONO H()2 NO~ RADICALS AND HCHO BY DIFFERENTIAL OPTICAL ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

A Introduction

The development of a long pathlength OOAS system by Perner and Platt

1979) and its application and extension by these workers and by SAPRC

researchers Platt et al 1980ab 1981 1982 1984 Harris et al 1982

Pitts et al 1984ab 1985a) has provided a technique capable of sensishy

tive specific and time-resolved measurements of the ambient concentrashy

tions of a number of important atmospheric species including nitrous

acid formaldehyde the nitrate radical and nitrogen dioxide

In this section we briefly describe the design and operation of the

25 m basepath DOAS system employed to measure ambient levels of N03 radicals HONO N02 and HCHO during the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study and the results obtained during this measurement

period A more detailed description of the experimental system is provided in an earlier report to the ARB (Winer et al 1987)

B Experimental Methods

The 25 m basepath optical system (Figure IV-1) was of the threeshy

mirror White design but with an added corner reflector at the in-focus

end which effectively doubled its maximum pathlength capability The

mirrors were fabricated from 30 cm dia x 5 cm thick Pyrex blanks and

coated with a custom dielectric coating for optimum reflectivity in the spectral regions of interest

The DOAS system measures the ambient concentrations of trace

components which have distinct vibronic structures by their light

absorption in the near-ultraviolet (uv) and visible spectral regions

White light from a 75 W high pressure Xenon lamp was imaged by a spherical

mirror into the plane of the nesting (in-focus) mirror of the White cell

and then propagated through the multiple reflection optics until it

emerged from the system and was imaged onto the entrance slit of the

monochromator SPEX 1870 05 m) The light intensity was monitored by a

photomultiplier EMI 9659Q) and the signal acquired and averaged by a DEC

MINC 1123 minicomputer

With the DOAS a rotating slotted disk was used to allow rapid

scanning The slotted disk was formed by etching a set of exit slits (100

microm wide 10 m spacing) radially into a thin metal disk This disk was

rotated in the focal plane of the dispersed spectrua As each slit moved across the opening between the masks that block the two adjacent slits it

scanned a spectral range of -30-60 nm depending on the rotation frequency

of the slotted disk The orientation of the spectrometer grating

determined which specific spectral region was scanned As employed in its

final form in this program the slotted disk rotated at -4 Hz resulting in

a scan rate of -100 Hz well above the frequency distribution of

atmospheric turbulence (which otherwise would introduce unwanted structure

into the spectra)

As a slit became visible at the edge of the mask it was detected by

an infrared photodiode A trigger signal was sent to the computer which

continuously recorded digitized samples of the light intensity as the slit

scanned across the spectrum Since several tens of thousand such scans

were acquired and added in the computer memory within a few minutes this

improved the signal-to-noise ratio of the resulting spectrum The

rotational speed of the slotted disk was maintained constant to within

101j to preserve the spectral resolution while superimposing the scans

The computer was also used for spectral deconvolution and for the

calculation of optical densities

Since a single scan required only -10 msec atmospheric scintillation

effects had little effect on the signal Moreover since typically (2-8)

x 104 individual scans were recorded and signal-averaged over each several

minute measurement period even complete but momentary interruption of

the light beam had no appreciable effect on the final spectrum Except

under the haziest conditions stray light effects were negligible due to

the instruments narrow field of view -8 x 10-5 steradians] and in any

case stray light could be taken into account by means of appropriate

background spectra

The concentrations of atmospheric species were derived from Beers

Law However since the light intensity in the absence of any absorption

(1 0 ) cannot be obtained with this technique the differential optical

density was employed and thus only those compounds which have structured

absorption spectra could be measured Table IV-1 gives the characteristic

IV-3

absorption bands and detection limits for a number of atmospheric species

of interest based on a km pathlength It can be seen that the

detection limits range from 3 ppb for HCHO down to -10 ppt for the N03 radical For automatic scanning of spectra 32 or 40 reflections (corresshy

ponding to pathlengths of 800 and 1000 m respectively) were generally

employed and the corresponding detection limits for quantitative analyses

were then 06-07 ppb for HONO and 13-16 ppt for N03 radicals

limit equivalent to an optical density of 3 x o-14 bull The data reduction

process was more automated than previously and thus the detection limit was raised from 2 x 10-4 to 3 x 10-4 OD to offset the tendency of the

software to interpret noise at the detection limit as a peak The

corresponding detection limits were N02 35 ppb HOHO 08 ppb and

HCHO 45 ppb

Because the HONO and HCHO bands are overlapped by N02 bands and N02 is more abundant in the Los Angeles basin the DOAS spectra must be first

analyzed for N02 to enable its features to be quantitatively removed prior

to determining HONO and HCHO concentrations Figure IV-2 shows the timeshy

concentration profile for N02 from 0000 PDT on August 13 to 0800 PDT on

August 21 The solid line shows the DOAS data while the dashed line

shows measurements made by our chemiluminescence oxides of nitrogen

analyzer The two curves track each other very well during the nighttime

and early morning hours In the afternoon the NOx analyzer consistently

read 10 to 30 ppb higher since the DOAS values at those times were as low

as 15-25 ppb this caused a discrepancy of a factor of two or more The

higher values measured by the chemiluminescence method are attributed to

the known interferences of HN03 and PAN in this detection method

consistent with the levels or HN03 and PAN in the afternoon periods being

approximately equivalent to this difference in the DOAS N02 and chemilshy

uminescence N0x-H0 readings

After the quantitative removal of the N02 features from the OOAS

spectra the data reduction procedure utilized a simultaneous leastshy

squares fit or HON0 and HCHO reference spectra to the residual ambient air

spectra Figure IV-3 shows the time concentration profile for HCHO as

determined by DOAS (solid line) For comparison the FT-IR data from

Section V are shown as the dashed line The agreement between the two

methods is very good with the discrepancies being within the error

limits However it appears that the OOAS results for the first four

nights are consistently higher than the FT-IR data by about 1-3 ppb This

could be due to an overestimation of HCH0 absorption features in the OOAS

spectra since the reported FT-IR HCH0 levels were at or below the DOAS

detection limit of 45 ppb (where the signal-to-noise ratio was near

unity)

Finally the H0N0 time-concentration profile for August 13-21 is

presented in Figure IV-4 No comparison data are available for HON0 for

this study However as discussed above the only source of a large

systematic error would be the literature value for the HON0 absorption

cross-sections used in the calculations During the Citrus College field

study nighttime HON0 levels were higher than observed in the 1985

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study at Claremont where the maximum

HON0 concentrations were in the range 15 to 25 ppb For five of the

nights at Citrus College the HON0 concentrations were also in the same

range However for three nights H0N0 levels attained -35 ppb and

during the last night of the study H0N0 reached a maximum of Jamp5 ppb

There was however no correlation of the HON0 concentrations to the

nighttime N02 levels which were relatively constant at 60-75 ppb Since

the heterogeneous formation of H0N0 from N02 involves moisture correlashy

tions to other parameters such as relative humidity and particulate

loading may prove interesting

V LONG PATHLENGTH FT-IR MEASUREMENTS OF HN03 NH3 AND HCHO

A Introduction

As discussed elsewhere in more detail (Winer et al 1987) the long

pathlength FT-IR system was employed to provide benchmark data for the

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study held at Pomona College

(Claremont) in September 1985 Following this the FT-IR spectrometer

participated in our winter field study at El Camino CoDJDUnity College

(Torrance) Due to a need for a more detailed comparison of HN03 measurements by the FT-IR and tunable diode laser spectroscopic (TDLS)

methods than had been possible during the 1985 Claremont study the

longpath FT-IR system was subsequently set up in Glendora on the Citrus

College campus for more intensive measurements of HN03 and NH3 between

August 12-21 1986 In this study species coverage by the FT-IR method

was extended to include the measurement of formaldehyde (HCH0) Attempts

were also made to detect N2o5 in ambient air by thorough examination of

the spectra recorded in the late afternoon and evening hours Alllllonia

(NH3) was included among middot the species measured since in certain

localities it can profoundly affect the concentration of gaseous HN03 by

its reaction to form aerosol anmonium nitrate (Doyle et al 1979 Tuazon

et al 1980)

B Experimental

1 Kilometer Pathlength FT-IR System

Measurements of ambient air pollutants by infrared spectroscopy

were carried out using a recently constructed 25-m basepath open

multiple-reflection optical system interfaced to a Mattson Instruments

Inc Sirius 100 FT-IR spectrometer This spectr0111eter has a maximum

resolution capability of 0125 cm-1 and is equipped with a Motorola 68000-

based data system The long pathlength optics are of the three-mirror

White design (White 1942) with provisions for adding a corner reflector

at the in-focus end (Horn and Pimentel 1971) when desired to effectively

double the systems pathlength The mirrors in this new optical system

were fabricated from 30 cm diameter 6 cm thick Pyrex blanks and goldshy

coated for the best reflectivity (~99J) in the infrared The optimum

pathlength for monitoring was determined to be in the 1-1 5 km range

V-1

during routine operation although short-term use or optical patha greater

than 2 km were possible

As discussed in Section Ill the long pathlengtb FT-IR spectrometer

was operated alongside the long pathlength DOAS systell as shown in Figure

V-1 The optical layout of the FT-IR system is preaented in more detail

in Figure V-2 The sets or mirrors of the two spectrometers were arrayed

in opposite directions but aligned side by side in a compact arrangement

which made possible simultaneous analyses of virtually the same air

mass The FT-IR spectrometer was housed in an air conditioned shed while

the multiple reflection mirror assembly outside was shaded from direct

sunlight by protective shields While the spectrometer system had an

initial height of 1 2 m (above ground level) designed into the optical

axis this was raised to a total of 24 m (8 ft) the C0111110n sampling

height required for all analytical techniques being compared during this

field study Massive concrete blocks were employed as support structures

to attain this sampling height

2 Acquisition of Spectra

Spectra were recorded at a pathlength of 1150 meters and 0125 1cm- resolution unapodized) Sixty-four scans interferograms) were

added during a 45-min period and then transformed (calculation time of

-25 min) to a single beam spectrum Each spectrUII of 128 K points was 1truncated and the spectral region from 400 to 3000 cm- which contained

the absorption bands of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 used for analysis was retained

and archived

Four to five spectra per hour were collected This rate or data

collection permitted a real-time examination of the quality of spectra

being recorded and such checks were consistently made during daytime and

early evening hours 0800-2200 PDT) During the noncritical period of

2200-0600 hours when nitric acid was expected to be below the detection

limit the FT-IR spectrometer was programed to conduct automatic

monitoring

expanded plot or the HN03 spectrum in the range 870-910 cm- 1 is presented

in Figure V-11 to which is added a middotqualitative single beam spectrum or 1clean ambient air at a pathlength of 1150 m The Q-branch at 896 1 cm-

was the most appropriate one for quantitative measureaent because or its

favorable half-width and minimal interference by ataaspheric water vapor

We restricted our measurements to the heights of the sharp absorption (Qshy

branch) features only since measurements which include the broad undershy

lying envelope were more susceptible to unknown interferences The 8854 1cm- Q-branch was totally free of interferences but its relatively

narrower line shape was more susceptible to distortion by noise while the 1strongest Q-branch at 8789 cm- was severely overlapped by a strong water

line

Of the numerous sharp features of the NH3 spectna depicted in Figure

V-3 the lines at 11034 and 8679 cm-1 though not the strongest suffer

the least interference by H2o and CO2 absorption lines and were therefore

the ones chosen for analysis The line positions of NH3 relative to those

of atmospheric H20 (and CO2) in the 1080-1120 cm-1 region are shown in

Figure V-5 The calibration procedure for trn3 was straightforward

Spectra were recorded at O 125 cm- 1 resolution for several NH3 pressures

in the range 02-1 torr which were measured to within 10005 torr

accuracy with an MKS Baratron capacitance manometer The NH3 samples were

transferred to a 25-cm cell with KBr windows and pressurized with N2 gas

to atmospheric pressure No measurable decay of IH3 concentration was

observed within the 15-minute period during which repeat spectra were

recorded for each sample These data yielded absorptivities (base 10) at

23degC and 740 torr total pressure of 182 cm-1 atm-1 for the 11034 cm-1

peak and 97 cm-1 atm- 1 for the 8679 cm- 1 peak with uncertainties of t5J

(two standard deviations for both values

A similar calibration procedure was not possible for HN03 because of

its significant decay to the walls of the 25-cm cell We determined our

high resolution absorptivity values relative to the data of Graham and

Johnston (1978) who made an accurate determination of the absorptivity of

the HN03 4 ( 1325 cm- 1 fundamental band at -2 cm-1 resolution using two

independent methods for generating HN03 ( for more details see also Graham

1975) We assigned Graham and Johnstons ( 1978 absorptivity value

feature in our 0125 cm- 1 resolution spectrum after S1100thing the latter

to -2 cm-1 resolution The absorptivity tor a Q-branch (eg 8961 cm- 1)

at O 125 cm-1 resolution was then determined from the intensity ratio of

the unsmoothed Q-branch to the smoothed P-branch

Smoothing removes the fine structure superimposed on the bandv4 envelope and in order to test the adequacy of tbe smoothing function

1employed measurements were carried out in which 2 cm-1 and 0125 cm-

resolution spectra were recorded alternately for an 11103 sample To take

into account the HN03 decay in the cell the 1315 cm-1 peak heights at 2

cm- 1 resolution were plotted against time as were those or the 0125 cm- 1

resolution spectra after having been smoothed to -2 m-1 resolution The

two curves were found to be indistinguishable indicating the accuracy or

the smoothing function applied The above procedure yielded a value of

52 plusmn 04 cm- 1 atm-1 for the absorptivity (base 10) of the HN03 peak at

896 1 cm- 1 (Q-branch height only) with the two standard deviation error

including that reported by Graham (1975) This value is in fact the same

as that we previously determined for this peak at 05 cm-1 resolution

(Tuazon et al 1980) Following the same method the absorptivity of the

8854 cm-1 Q-branch was found to be 61 plusmn 05 cm-1 ata- 1bull

The calibration procedure for HCHO was the sue as that for NH bull3Formaldehyde samples were pre-distilled from paraformaldehyde and

immediately used after collection in a liquid nitrogen cooled trap The

absorptivity value of the 2781 0 cm- 1 Q-branch an absorption peak well

isolated from H2o absorptions was determined to be 89 plusmn 05 cm- 1 atm-1

4 Treatment of Data

The quantitative analysis of species such as NH3 which possess

relatively narrow Q-branch features which are sufficiently resolved from

atmospheric H2o absorptions was normally straightforward The absorbance

(log 10 1 was derived directly from the single beaa spectrum and thus a

ratio plot against an actual background spectrum was not necessary Proshy

vided that the detector had a linear response 10

and I as determined from

a single beam spectrum had values on an arbitrary scale in which zero

corresponded to zero signal on the detector The appropriate differential

absorption coefficient such as those determined above and the absorption

pathlength had to be applied to the absorption intensity measured between

V-9

and I in order to convert to concentration units This procedure was10

followed for the 11034 and 8679 cm-1 lines of NH3 Estimates of the HN03 concentration could also be obtained from

single-beam spectra by employing the 8854 cmmiddot1 Q-branch However the

HN03 analysis was more reliably carried out using the 8961 cm-1 Q-branch

by ratioing the sample spectrum with a clean background spectrum a

procedure which improved the baseline and resulted in essentially complete

cancellation of a very weak H20 interference Background spectra were

chosen from those recorded at around midnight during low pollution days

since previous measurements (Spicer et al 1982) showed HN03 levels that

were much lower (lt1 ppb) than the FT-IR detection limit under these

conditions

The peak-to-peak noise level in the ratio spectrum was typically

00025 absorbance unit base 10) corresponding to a 250 1 signal to

peak-to-peak noise ratio for single spectral records The absorption

peaks used for the analyses were much wider than the frequency of random

noise such that peak heights as small as the noise level could be

detected above the noise itself Thus the detection sensitivities were

3-5 ppb for HN03 1-2 ppb for NH3 and 2-3 ppb for HCHO The lower

detection limit for each compound was realized when turbulence due to

temperature gradients andor wind were minimal for example during

nighttime hours)

The possible detection of N2o5 depended on how well its broad band

centered at 1246 cm- 1 ( 12) could be discerned from interfering H20

absorptions The H2o interferences were reduced by ratioing the sample

spectra against selected background spectra taken during those periods

(mid-morning to noon) when N2o5 was believed not to be present due to the

rapid photolysis of No3 radicals Although exact cancellation of the H2o absorptions was not possible the windows between these absorptions were

sufficient to define a baseline from which the presence of a broad absorpshy

tion contour could be distinguished From the literature value of 188

cm- 1 atmmiddot 1 for the absorptivity of the 1246 cm-1 peak (Graham 1975 Graham

and Johnston 1978) it was calculated that 5 ppb N2o5 at a pathlength of

1150 m would give a signal of -001 absorbance unit (base 10) approxishy

mately 4 times the peak-to-peak baseline noise of the ratio spectrum

V-10

The largest source of uncertainty in the analyses was the noise level

in the spectrum with other errors being generally negligible We

assigned to each peak height measurement the maxillum error which was

equal to the peak-to-peak noise level For HN03 this error was 4 ppb

The uncertainty arising from the error in the absorptivity (of the 8961

cm- 1 Q-branch in this case) increased with the concentration However

this contribution to the overall error limit was relatively small for the

range of HN03 concentrations encountered For example it increased the

t4 ppb error by only 10j when included in the error calculation for an

HN03 concentration of 25 ppb For NH concentrations i20 ppb the sum of uncertainties due to noise3

and error in the absorptivity of the 11034 cm-1 line was plusmn15 ppb At

higher concentrations the contribution from the absorptivity error became

relatively more important A detailed plot of this error contribution as

a function of concentration revealed that it is nearly linear in the

concentration range 20 to 100 ppb permitting the additional error to be

calculated from the empirical formula (0044( [NH3]-20) ppb Thus for the measurement of 60 ppb NH3 the total error can be calculated as [ 15 +

0 044 )( 60-20)] = plusmn33 ppb

For the range of HCH0 concentrations encountered in the 1986 Glendora

study the measurement errors were less than plusmn3 ppb

C Results and Discussion

As discussed in Section II our measurements were conducted in

conjunction with the CARB-sponsored Carbonaceous Species Methods

Comparison Study which occurred from 0800 PDT August 12 to 0800 PDT

August 21 1986 ln contrast with the low level of air pollution during

the 1985 Claremont summer field study this August 1986 measurement period

at Citrus College was characterized by moderately high levels of photoshy

chemical activity Except for the second day of measurements the maximum

hourly average o3 concentrations exceeded 200 ppb each day

The FT-IR spectra obtained were analyzed for the simultaneous concenshy

trations of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 The detailed instantaneous data are

presented in Table V-1 and are plotted in Figure V-6 The hourly average concentrations are presented in Tables V-2 to V-4 Except for periods of

power disruption on August 14 and the loss of most of the daytime data on

August 17 due to a fault in archiving the data onto agnetic tapes the

FT-IR system provided continuous coverage of HCHO and 1H3 concentrations

since they were always above the respective detection 11llits of -2-3 ppb

and -1-15 ppb HN~ was generally above the -3-Ji ppb detection

sensitivity between 0800 hr and 2000 hr each day throughout the study

period As for the 1985 Claremont and the 1986 Torrance studies N2o5 was

not observed above the estimated detection limit of 4 ppb

The FT-IR analysis of formaldehyde was easily carried out with the

use of single-beam spectra since the HCHO infrared spectrum has a Qshy

branch at 27810 cm-1 well isolated from other atmospheric absorptions

HCHO was included as one of the species to be measured by FT-IR (except

during the first day) because of the need for a standard against which

other HCHO methods employed at this study could be compared Our

contribution to this aspect of the carbonaceous species study was to

provide HCHO measurements by both DOAS and FT-IR spectroscopy either

method of which can serve as a benchmark standard l comparison or the

two sets of spectroscopic data for HCHO has been discussed in Section IV

and comparison with the results of the other HCHO methods is currently

being carried out by Dr Douglas Lawson of the CARB

The NH3 concentrations observed in Glendora (Table V-2) during the

first six days or the field study (September 12-17 were generally in the

range of 2-4 ppb These levels are similar to those aeasured during the

1985 Claremont study for the periods when there was no localized transport

of NH3 to the latter site from nearby agricultural sources NH3 levels

during the remaining days (August 18-21 were more variable and generally

about twice the above range of values (Figure V-6 he erratic pattern

found in the NH3 concentrations during these three days which is also

noticeable in the more well-defined HCHO and HN03 concentration profiles

(Figure V-6 could well be due to the prevailing wind conditions

The maximum instantaneous concentrations of HN~ attained 20 ppb or

higher during the eight days that the FT-IR measurements provided detailed

HN03 profiles (Figure V-6) with the highest concentration of 33 ppb being

observed on August 19 Comparison of our Dasibi ozone data with the FT-IR

measurements of HN03 showed a strong correspondence between the HN03 and

maxima This is illustrated in Figure V-7 for the pollution episodeso3 of August 15-16 where the hourly average HN03 concentrations (by FT-IR)

VI AMBIENT CONCENTRATIONS OF PAH AND NITRO-PAH

A Introduction

The PAH emitted from combustion sources exhibit a wide range of

volatility and are hence distributed in the atmosphere between the gas

and particle phases As we have shown previously (Arey et al 1987)

complementary sampling techniques are required to obtain a comprehensive

data set concerning the concentrations of volatile and non-volatile PAH

and their derivatives in the atmosphere Thus the volatile 2-ring PAH such as naphthalene which are present almost entirely in the gas-phase

can be quantitatively collected on Tenax GC solid adsorbent The nonshy

volatile 5-ring and larger PAH and 3- to 4-ring nitro-PAH are particle

associated and are collected totally on the Hi-vol filters The 3- and 4-

ring PAH of intermediate volatility and the 2-ring nitro-PAH can be

collected on PUF plugs as well as on the filters indicating that they are

either present mainly in the gas-phase or are blown-off the filter

during the collection period Thus three different collection media were

employed for the ambient air sampling at Citrus College Tenax-GC solid

adsorbent PUF plugs and Hi-vol filters The ambient air samples were

collected from August 12 to August 21 with 12-hr day (0800-2000 PDT) and

night (2000-0800 PDT) sampling intervals

B Experimental

1 Sampling Media Cleaning Procedure

Tenax-GC solid adsorbent was Soxhlet extracted in a cellulose

thimble for -5 hr in a 64 (vv) acetonehexane mixture After packing in

Pyrex tubes (using precleaned glass wool) the Tenax cartridges were

conditioned for -4 hr by heating at 275degC with nitrogen flowing through

them at -20 mL min- 1 The Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters

and PUF plugs were cleaned by Soxhlet extraction for -16 hr in methylene

chloride followed by another 16 hr extraction with methanol

2 Tenax-GC Cartridges Sampling and Analysis

Two sizes of Tenax-GC cartridge were used for the collection of

gas-phase PAH at different flow rates Low-flow cartridges consisted of

10 cm x 4 nnn id Pyrex tubes packed with 0 1 g of Tenax GC solid

adsorbent with sampling flow rates of -1 L min-1 yielding an -06 m3

VI-1

volume of air for each 12-hr sampling period High-flow cartridges

consisted of 10 cm x 1 cm id Pyrex tubes packed with 06 g of Tenax-GC

and operated at flow rates of -10 L min-1 resulting in -6 m3 of air

sampled during a 12-hr period Each low-flow cartridge was equipped with

back-up Tenax cartridge placed in series downstream from the first

cartridge to check for breakthrough

After sampling the Tenax cartridges were stored in dry-ice transshy

ported to SAPRC and stored in a freezer prior to analysis

For analysis deuterated internal standards were added to the lowshy

and high-flow Tenax cartridges respectively as follows in microg)

naphthalene-d5 (18 16) biphenyl-d10 (07 10) phenanthrene-d 10 (06

06) The low- and high-flow cartridges were eluted with 2 mL and 10 mL respectively of diethyl ether which was then solvent exchanged to -02

mL of acetonitrile (using a micro-Snyder apparatus for the high-flow

cartridges)

PAH identifications and quantifications were made by combined gas

chromatographymass spectrometry (GCMS) with multiple ion detection

(MID) as described in detail below

3 High-Volume Filters Followed by PUF Plugs Sampling and Analysis

Two high-volume sampler systems consisting of a TIGF filter

follow by four PUF plugs (-9 cm diameter x 5 cm thickness) [see Figure VI-

1] were run at -23 SCFM for 12 hr intervals yielding ambient samples

collected from -1000 m3 of air

Prior to analysis the PUF plugs were combined into six samples

consisting of a single day sample and a single nighttime sample from the

early portion of the study single day and single night samples from the

latter part of the study and composite samples from four day and four

nights Specifically the samples were (11) August 13 0800-2000 hr

(2) August 13-14 2000-0800 hr (3) August 15 16 17 and 18 0800-2000

hr (4) August 15-16 16-17 17-18 18-19 2000-0800 hr (5 August 20

0800-2000 hr (6 August 20-21 2000-0800 hr

The samples from a single 12-hr day or night collection period (ie

samples 1 2 5 and 6) each consisted of eight PUF plugs (four from each

of the two Hi-vols used and these were combined and extracted together

The composite samples 3 and 4 were each analyzed in two parts ~UF

plugs 1-3 (see Figure VI-1) and to check for breakthrough of the more

Soxhlet extracted overnight (-16 hr) with methylene chloride concentrated

by rotary evaporation under vacuum to -4 mL filtered through 045 microm

Acrodiscs (Gelman Sci) and concentrated further under a stream of

nitrogen to -500 microL

The extracts were fractionated by HPLC using an Altex semi-prepashy

rative scale Ultrasphere Silica column (1 cm x 25 cm) Figure VI-2 shows

a typical HPLC profile of a PUF plug extract together with the mobile

phase program employed A fraction containing the PAH was collected from

4 min to 22 min and a nitroarene-containing fraction from 22 min to 34

min The fractions were concentrated by rotary evaporation then taken

just to dryness under a stream of nitrogen After dissolving in acetoshy

nitrile or CH2c12 the PAH and nitroarene fractions were analyzed by

GCMS-MID as described below

4 Hi-Vols with TIGF Filters Sampling and Analysis

Seven Hi-vol samplers each equipped with a 10 microm cut-off inlet

were employed for POM collection The samplers were run at -40 SCFM

yielding an ambient sample collected from -800 m3 of air for each Hi-vol

over a 12-hr sampling period Two Hi-vols were employed solely for the

collection of POM used for mutagenicity testing The TIGF filters from

the remaining five Hi-vols were combined into six samples corresponding to

the PUF plug samples described above ie samples 1 and 2 and samples

5 and 6 comprised the single day and night samples from August 13-14 and

August 20-21 respectively and samples 3 and 4 were the composite day

and night samples from August 15-16 16-17 17-18 and 18-19 The filter

extraction and work-up procedure was as shown in Scheme VI-1 Each sample

was spiked with deuterated internal standards as follows (single 12-hr

5 GCMS Analyses

Compound identifications and quantifications were made using

either a Finnigan 3200 quadrupole GCMS interfaced to a Teknivent data

system or a Hewlett Packard 5890 GC interfaced to a Hewlett Packard 5970

mass selective detector MSD) both operated in the electron impact mode

(70 eV) The GC separations were done either on a 60 m DB-5 fused silica

capillary column with a cool on-column injection system (J ampWScientific

Inc) or on a 30 m DB-5 fused silica capillary column with splitless

injection Both columns eluted directly into the MS ion source

Calibration curves for the GCMS-MID quantification of the PAH were

made for the molecular ion peaks of the PAH using the corresponding

deuterated species (or the deuterated species most closely matched in

volatility and retention characteristics) as an internal standard The

C Results

1 Volatile PAH Sampled on Tenax-GC Cartridges

The most abundant PAH collected on the Tenaz-GC cartridges were

naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene GC~ analysis of Tenax

samples in the full scanning mode (rather than the MID mode used for

quantification) showed that not unexpectedly several alkylbenzenes were

also very abundant Table VI-1 sUJ11Darizes the ambient concentrations (ng

m-3) of the volatile PAH measured For reasons which will be detailed

below the naphthalene data from the low-flow cartridges have been

utilized while the data for the remaining PAH have been taken from the

values obtained from the high-flow cartridges

In Appendix B Table B-1 the microg quantities of each PAH measured on

the low-flow Tenax cartridges (for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications)

and the calculated total volumes for each sample are listed Replicate

injections gave reproducible values for naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylshy

naphthalene while the levels of biphenyl fluorene and phenanthrene were

too low for accurate quantification Also listed in Table B-1 are the

quantities of PAH observed on the back-up Tenax cartridges which were

also generally too low for accurate quantification Table B-2 lists the

microg quantities measured and volumes sampled for the high-flow cartridges

Since the volumes of air sampled on the high-flow cartridges was a factor

of 10 greater than the low-flow cartridges biphenyl fluorene and phenshy

anthrene could be accurately determined and in addition acenaphthylene

and acenaphthene were measured

Only traces of naphthalene were observed on the Tenax cartridges

which were back-up cartridges for the low-flow Tenax ie less than a

few percent of that measured on the primary cartridge Therefore

naphthalene was collected quantitatively on the low-flow Tenax Table VI-

2 compares the ambient naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene concenshy

trations calculated from the low-flow and high-flow Tenax cartridges The

high-flow values for naphthalene were consistently lower than those

obtained from the low-flow Tenax samples indicating that naphthalene was

not collected quantitatively at a collection rate of 10 L min- 1 at the

ambient temperatures encountered at Citrus College Hence the low-flow

Tenax values for naphthalene are given in Table VI-1

( There is good agreement between the nighttime concentrations of the

1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes calculated from the low- and high-flow Tenax

samples For the daytime samples when the observed concentrations were

generally low the high-flow values tended to be somewhat higher than the

low-flow values and were judged to be more accurate It should be noted

that the low-flow values for 1-methylnaphthalene have been corrected for a

significant interference which was observed on the back-up Tenax

2 PAH Sampled on PUF Plugs

GCMS analysis of the HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts in

which the PAH elute (see Figure VI-2) showed this fraction to contain many

less abundant alkyl-PAH and dibenzothiophene as well as fluorene phenshy

anthrene anthracene fluoranthene and pyrene It must be remembered that

these PAH will be distributed between the gaseous and particle phases in

ambient air and that the quantities measured on the PUF plugs are the sum

of the PAH in the gas phase and the PAH initially present on the POM but

blown-off during the collection period

The ambient concentrations of five PAH and the sulfur heterocycle

dibenzothiophene measured on the PUF plugs are given in Table vI3 The

most abundant PAH collected on the PUF plugs was fluorene From the

composite samples in which the fourth PUF plugs were analyzed separately

it was obvious that fluorene (mw 166) and PAH of higher volatility were

not collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs since substantial amounts

were present on the fourth PUF (see Table VI-3) Consistent with fluorene

not being collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs the ambient concenshy

trations of fluorene listed in Table VI-1 from the Tenax cartridge quanshy

tifications are -2-5 fold higher than those listed in Table VI-3 The

ambient concentrations of phenanthrene measured on the PUF plugs and Tenax

cartridges agree to within better than a factor of two

Figure VI-4 shows the GCMS-MID traces of naphthalene and alkylshy

naphthalenes for the Tenax and PUF samples from the evening of 813-1486

From the Tenax sample trace it is clear that naphthalene was the most

abundant species (at a measured concentration of -5000 ng m-3)

Comparing the Tenax and PUF sample traces it is apparent that naphthalene

was retained on the PUF plugs only to a minor extent (with a measured

concentration of -2 ng m-3 Interestingly although not quantitatively

collected on the PUF plugs the presence of dimethylnaphthalenes in

ambient air is apparent from the PUF samples

3 Diurnal Variations in the Volatile PAH

The ambient concentrations of naphthalene measured for 12-hr day

and night sampling intervals throughout the Citrus College study are shown

in Figure VI-5 It can be seen from these data that the naphthalene conshy

centrations were generally higher during the evening sampling intervals

and that there was a trend toward higher concentrations in the latter part

of the study

The daytime and nighttime concentrations of _ and 2-methylnaphthashy

lene are shown in Figure VI-6 As observed for naphthalene the nighttime

concentrations were generally higher The concentration of 2-methylshy

naphthalene was consistently higher than that of 1-methylnaphthalene The

concentration profiles of the methylnaphthalenes were remarkably similar

perhaps indicating a common source and similar atmospheric loss processes

Reaction with the hydroxyl radical is expected to be the major loss

process for both species with essentially identical atmospheric lifetimes

for 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987a)

All of the volatile PAH were generally more abundant during the

nighttime than daytime sampling intervals (see Table VI-1 and VI-3

Meteorological factors such as inversion heights may certainly have played

a role in this observed trend at Citrus College bu it can be seen that

these diurnal variations are not solely due to meteorology by comparing

the diurnal profiles of species of differing reactiviy For example the

GCMS-MID traces for the molecular ion of biphenyl a11d acenaphthene (mz

154 for a typical daytime and nighttime Tenax sample are shown in Figure

VI-7 As seen from this figure acenaphthene [the ioore reactive of these

PAH (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b] was generally significantly more

abundant in the nighttime samples presumably beig removed by rapid

reaction with the OH radical during daylight hours

GCMS-MID traces of daytime and nighttime PUF samples showing the

analyses of isomeric PAH of differing reactivity are shown in Figures VI-8

and VI-9 While phenanthrene was abundant on both ~~e day and nighttime

PUF plug samples the relative abundance of anthracen~ to phenanthrene was

consistently higher at night Figure VI-8) Similarly acephenanthrylene

an isomer of fluoranthene and pyrene expected to be more reactive than

these PAH towards ozone (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) was generally not

observed in the daytime PUF samples from Citrus College (Figure VI-9)

4 Nitroarenes Sampled on PUF Plugs

The HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts eluting from 22 to 34

min (Figure VI-2) contained the volatile nitroarene species The most

abundant nitroarenes were 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene GCMS analysis in

the full scanning mode showed that this nitroarene-containing HPLC

fraction also contained alkylnitrophenols

Figure Vl-10 shows GCMS-MID traces from a typical analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug extract for 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene (NN) As

seen from this figure identification was based on the presence of several

characteristic fragment ions as well as retention time matching with the

1-nitronaphthalene-d7 internal standard Figure VI-11 shows the presence

of several peaks at mz 187 which elute after 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene

These peaks were identified as methylnitronaphthalenes ( 14 isomers are

possible on the basis of the presence of characteristic [M-N02]+ and [Mshy

HN02J+ fragment ions as well as the mz 187 molecular ion

GCMS-MID traces of a standard mixture of the three nitrobiphenyl

isomers and two isomers of nitroacenaphthene are shown in Figure VI-12

5-Nitroacenaphthene has previously been reported in ambient air (Tokiwa et

al 1981) At Torrance CA during a wintertime high-NOx episode we did

not observe nitroacenaphthene but measured high concentrations of the

isomeric species 3-nitrobiphenyl (Arey et al 1987) In Figure Vl-13 the

[Mr ions of the standard mixture are shown together with the [M)+ ions

and characteristic fragment ion traces obtained from the analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug sample As at Torrance CA the nitroarene isomer

of mw 199 observed at Citrus College was clearly 3-nitrobiphenyl

Table Vl-4 gives the microg quantities of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and

3-nitrobiphenyl collected on the PUF plugs at Citrus College From the

fourth PUF plugs of the composite samples it can be seen that 3-

nitrobiphenyl was quantitatively collected on the first three PUF plugs

Particularly during the daytime samples some breakthrough of 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene occurred In addition to these nitroarene species

traces of 9-nitroanthracene were observed in most of the Citrus College

PUF plug samples but the levels present were too low to quantify

5 PAH Sampled on TIGF Filters

As described in Section B above the extracts of the TIGF filters

were fractionated by HPLC HPLC fractions 2-5 (see Figure VI-3) were

collected as the PAH fraction with fractions 6-7 being chosen to include

the n i troarenes Through the use of deuterated internal standards it

became apparent that the higher molecular weight PAH such as dibenz(ah)shy

anthracene were eluting in HPLC fractions 6-7 The data reported here

for the PAH on filters will be for the lower molecular weight species

ie fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and

benzo(a)pyrene Fractions 6-7 will be analyzed for the higher molecular

weight PAH and the full range of data for PAH on particles will be given

in our final report for our on-going CARB project (Contract No A5-185-

32) A survey of ambient concentrations of selected polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons (PAH) at various locations in California

Table VI-6 lists values for fluoranthane pyrene benz(a)anthracene

chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene in the NBS SRM 1649 an air

particulate sample collected in Washington DC The values recently

reported by the NBS (Wise et al 1986) for analyses by GC and HPLC with

fluorescence detection along with our values determined by GCMS-MID are

given The extraction and clean-up procedures we used for the SRM

particles were as described in Section B for the Citrus College POM sample

analyses As can be seen from Table VI-6 the agreement between our

values and those reported by NBS is generally excellent

The microg quantities of the five PAH measured in the Citrus College POM

samples for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications are given in Appendix B

Table B-3 The concentrations of these five PAH in ng m-3 (averaging the

replicate values) are given in Table VI-7 Two additional samples 7 and

8 repeat day and night composites are also listed in Tables B-3 and

VI-7 It was found that in taking the benzenemethanol extracts to a

constant weight a significant fraction of the deuterated internal stanshy

dards fluoranthene-d 10 pyrene-d 10 and even 2-nitrofluoranthene-d9 were

lost The use of internal standards should of course allow for correcshy

tion of such losses Since all of the filters from each day or night

comprising these composites had not been extracted we made replicate

composite samples and extracted these replicates with dichloromethane As

can be seen from Table VI-7 the composites and the repeat composites

VI-28

agree to within better than a factor of two In our current procedure for

POM analyses the benzenemethanol extract is not taken to dryness

6 Nitroarenes Sampled on TlGF Filters

The ambient concentrations of the nitrofluoranthenes and nitroshy

pyrenes measured for the six Citrus College POM samples are given in Table

VI-7 As we have observed previously (Pitts et al 1985c Ramdahl et al

1986 Arey et al 1987) 2-nitrofluoranthene was the most abundant

particle-associated nitroarene The GCMS-MID trace of the molecular ion

for the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (mz 247) from the August 20-

21 1986 2000-0800 PDT sample is shown in Figure VI-14 This sample

VII AMBIENT MUTAGENICITY

A Introduction

For the past several years the mutagenicity of ambient P0M has been

recognized as a characteristic of polluted urban atmospheres Further-

more although airborne particulate matter contains many carcinogenic PAH

its mutagenic activity does not resemble that of the PAH which require

mammalian metabolic activation (S9) as a requisite for expression of their

mutagenicity in the Ames Salmonella test Instead ambient P0M is

directly active ie expressing mutagenicity without the addition of

S9 and thus showing that other classes of organic chemicals which are

direct-acting mutagens are also present in ambient air

As an integral part of the CSMCS carried out at Citrus College

Glendora we measured the mutagenicity of collected 12-hour particulate

samples both with and without mammalian metabolic activation on

Salmonella strain TA98 Additionally we obtained mutagenicity data on

strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6

B Experimental

Sample Preparation for Mutagenicity Testing As noted in Section

II I POM samples were collected on a 12-hr basis throughout the study

period from 0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT The collected particulate

matter from two Hi-vols fitted with 10 microm cut-off inlets was weighed and

the filters Soxhlet extracted for 16-hr using a benzenemethanol (8020

azeotrope The solvent was removed under vacuum and the extracts were

taken to dryness under a stream of dry nitrogen Prior to mutagenicity

testing the sample extracts were stored in the dark at -75degC On the day

of the test each extract was taken up in DMS0 using a 20-minute

sonication and serial dilutions in DMS0 were made from this stock

solution

Tester Strains Ames Salmonella strain TA98 was used because of its

sensitivity to atmospheric particulate mutagens such as the nitroarenes

(Rosenkranz and Mermelstein 1983 and each particulate extract was tested

on this strain both in the presence and the absence of manmalian metabolic ( activation (S9 Each sample was also tested on strains TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6 in the absence of S9 as a possible indication of nitroarene

VII-1

mutagenicity TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 are isolates of TA98 which are

deficient in a nitroreductase Rosenkranz and Speck 1975 McCoy et al

1981 and a transacetylase enzyme (McCoy et al 1983 Orr et al 1985

Saito et al 1985 respectively The deficiency or these enzymes which

are required in the activation of many nitroarenes to penultimate

mutagens renders these strains less sensitive than TA98 to many mutagenic

nitroarenes Thus when a complex mixture exhibits less activity on

TA98NR or TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 it may be an indication of the

contribution of ni troarenes to the mutagenic activity of that sample

Table VII-1 shows the response of TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to

TA98 for several mutagenic atmospheric nitroarenes

The strains were cultured in 40 mL of L-broth for 12 hours at 37degC

with shaking The culture density was estimated by its absorbance at 550

nm and each strain was diluted with fresh medium to an absorbance

previously calculated to yield the standard culture density of 109 colony

forming units per mL (approximately 028 absorbance units) After

dilution the cultures were maintained in an ice bath for the duration of

the test The titer of each culture was determined by dilution and

plating on histidine-supplemented medium E The standard genotypic

markers which were routinely checked were crystal violet sensitivity UV

sensitivity and ampicillin resistance Three standard positive-control

mutagens were tested on each strain 1) 2-nitrofluorene a positive

control mutagen which we have used for the past ten years to check the

response of TA98 was also used to check the reduced response of TA98NR

relative to TA98 2 18-dinitropyrene was used to check the reduced

response of TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 and TA98NR for nitroarenes

which require the Salmonella transacetylase for activation and 3)

quercetin was used to check the equivalent response of these strains to

non-nitroarene mutagens Additionally benzo(apyrene was tested on

TA98(+S9) to check the response of this strain to indirect mutagens

Our testing protocol consistently results in somewhat higher

mutagenicities than other laboratories which we attribute primarily to

the use of L-broth instead of Oxoid broth to culture the tester strains

L-broth has about twice the amount of histidine as does Oxoid and its use

results in larger amounts of histidine on the test plate Because it is

the limiting growth factor a higher amount of histidine results in a

higher number of cells on the test plate and hence a higher number of

revertants (Maron and Ames 1983) The use of L-broth also results in a

somewhat denser background lawn of unreverted Salmonella but colony

morphology and visibility are unaffected

S9 Mix Arochlor 1254-induced rat liver S9 was prepared by Litton

Bionetics Inc according to the method of Ames et al (1975) and containshy

ed 26 mg mL- 1 protein (manufacturers analysis) NADP was purchased from

Boehringer Mannheim and glucose-6-phosphate was purchased from Sigma

Chemical Company

The S9 mix was prepared by the standard protocol (Ames et al 1975

Maron and Ames 1983) with 001 ml S9 per plate c2i vv mix) This S9

concentration was chosen since we have previously found a 2i vv mix to be

optimal in activating ambient particulate extracts collected in southern

California Frequently the use of S9 in testing ambient POM results in a

net decrease in activity as deactivation of direct mutagens overrides the

presumed activation of indirect mutagens such as the PAH Many

nitroarenes are also subject to this S9 suppression of activity

VI-3

Testing Protocol The standard Ames Salmonella plate incorporation

mutagenicity test was performed according to the method of Ames and coshy

workers (Ames et al 1975 Maron and Ames 1983) with some modifications to

improve its accuracy and precision (Belser et al 1981) Because of the

large number of plates required for the complete set of samples the

extracts were assayed in two tests 1) TA98 with and without S9 and 2)

TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 without S9 By dividing the tests by strain the

variation in response within one sample set was minimized Each extract

was tested in triplicate at eight doses chosen to logarithmically span the

region of linear response observed in the past for ambient P0M In

anticipation of lower activities on TA98NR and TA981 8-DNP6 the doses

chosen for these strains were twice as great as those for TA98 Hence

each sample was tested at 3 6 11 21 38 70 135 and 250 microg plate- 1 on

TA98 and at 6 12 22 42 76 140 270 and 500 microg plate-1 on TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6

Each test was performed in a single afternoon by means of a procedure

designed to improve intraday precision Belser et al 1981) Darkroom

conditions were employed throughout to prevent any photodecomposi tion of

the samples which might occur under laboratory fluorescent 1 ights The

plates were incubated at 37degC for 63 hours and counted with a Biotran

automatic colony counter (New Brunswick Scientific) directly interfaced to

a microcomputer ( Apple II) The extract potencies or specific activishy

ties were obtained by 1 inear regression analysis of the dose-response

data in the region of linear response The slope of the dose-response 1curve is the specific activity in revertants microg- The ratios of the

specific activities on strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98

were then calculated

From the specific activities the extract weights and the weights of

the particulate matter collected the potencies of the particulate matter

or mutagen loadings in revertants per mg of particulate matter collected

were calculated Finally from the specific activities the extract

weights and the volumes of sampled air the airborne mutagenicity conshy

centrations or mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of sampled air

were calculated

in Tables VII-2 to VII-5 The concurrent General Motors Laboratories

mutagen density data (J Siak T L Chan and G T Wolff private

connnunication) are included in Table VII-5 for comparison As we have

observed before in southern California the sampled POM was principally

directly active the average direct activity (TA98 -S9 was 345 rev m-3

as compared to 332 rev m-3 with metabolic activation TA98 +S9 Figure

VII-1 shows the mutagen density with and without S9 observed during this

study The values are intermediate in the range of mutagen densities we

have observed before in southern California and followed a general trend

towards higher values at the end of the study Figure VII-2 shows the

TA98 +S9 to TA98 -S9) ratio together with the TA98 (-S9) mutagen

density which are anticorrelated Thus sampling periods with higher

direct mutagenicity tended to be those which exhibited less promutagenshy

icity and greater direct activity This observation is consistent in a

qualitative manner with the presence in ambient POM of nitroarenes

The final nighttime sampling period during this study 820-2186

2000-0800 PDT) was unusual because of the high levels of volatile and nonshy

volatile nitroarenes present in the atmosphere For example the 2-nitroshy

fluoranthene concentration was a factor of ~5 greater than on the previous

day and the 1-nitronaphthalene concentration increased by over a factor of

two Concurrent observations of the presence of the nitrate radical

indicated that chemistry could have been occurring on this nightN2o5 Our measured mutagen density however declined by a factor of two

inconsistent with these other observations Moreover in contrast to our

results researchers at General Motors Laboratories using CH2c12 as an

extraction solvent observed a significant increase in mutagenicity (TA98

-S9) from the daytime 82086 0800-2000 PDT) sample to the nighttime

(820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) sample in their tests Since we had used a

benzene-methanol azeotrope as the extraction solvent system we decided to

retest the POM collected during these final two sampling periods using

dichloromethane as the extraction solvent

For this second mutagenicity test using CH2c12-extraction POM

collected on TGF filters in Hi-vol samplers modified to allow PUF plugs

to be placed downstream from the filters was employed These modified Hishy

vol samplers were operated at a flow rate or 23 SCFM instead of the

conventional 40 SCFM) to ensure that the flow controller remained

operative One filter from the daytime (82086 0800-2000 PDT) and one

filter from the nighttime 820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) collection period

were Soxhlet extracted for 16 hours with CH2c12 and tested on TA98 -S9)

The results or this collection and mutagenicity test are given in

Table VII-6 together with the data for our previous test of the benzene-methanol extracts As can be seen from the TSP data the modified

samplers collected more particulate matter than the standard Hi-vol as

expected since these Hi-vols were not equipped with a size-selective

inlet This was not expected to have greatly affected the mutagenicity

results however because very little mutagenicity is present on particles

larger than -10 micro

The more polar benzene-methanol solvent system extracted much more

material than did CH2c12 bull Despite the larger amount of polar material

present in the benzene-methanol samples the mutagen density for the

nighttime sample is three-fold lower than for the corresponding CH2c12-

extracted sample In contrast the mutagen density for the benzeneshy

methanol daytime sample is somewhat higher than for the corresponding

CH2c12-extracted sample Apparently the polar material in the benzeneshy

methanol extract of the nighttime sample inhibited the mutagenicity of

this extract probably through toxic or bacteriostatic action In

contrast the mutagenici ty of the polar compounds in the daytime sample

overcame any inhibitory effect

These observations illustrate the inherent compromises in choosing a

solvent system for extracting ambient POM The benzene-methanol solvent

system was chosen precisely because it extracts more polar material than

does CH2c12 and does not generate the artifactual mutagenicity associated

with the use of acetonitrile Indeed because inhibitory compounds may be

of the same polarity as mutagens every solvent system must result in an

underestimation of the mutagenicity of ambient POM This underscores the

need for identification and quantification of ambient mutagens Once

identified and tested for mutagenicity in their pure form the known

mutagens in a sample can be quantified and an accurate sum of their

mutagenicities can be obtained

VIII CONCLUSIONS

The objectives of SAPRCs involvement in the ARB-funded CSMCS study

held at Citrus College Glendora CA during the period August 12-21

1986 were met Using long pathlength differential optical absorption and

Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopic techniques the

ambient concentrations of N02 HONO HCHO HN03 NH3 and the N03 radical

were monitored in an essentially continuous mode throughout this study

period Since these data were obtained using absolute in-situ spectroshy

scopic methods they have served as benchmark data for the evaluation of

other more portable measurement methods for the determination of HCHO

and HN03 concentrations during the SCAQS carried out in 1987

Based upon the experimental methods used and ambient air concentshy

ration data obtained in our recent study at El Camino Conmtunity College

Torrance we were able to employ a complementary set of sampling techshy

niques to provide a comprehensive data set concerning the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of both volatile and non-volatile PAH and nitroshy

arenes during this study at Citrus College Ambient atmospheric concenshy

tration data were obtained for the following PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-

methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene

phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)shy

anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene and the following

nitroarenes 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3- and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene The ambient concentrations of

the PAH cover a very large range (gt1000) with the most volatile PAH naphshy

thalene being the most abundant Indeed the naphthalene concentration

exceeded 1 ppb during the 12-hr nighttime period 2000-0800 PDT on August

20-21 and averaged 0 7 ppb (3700 ng m-3) over the entire study period

The next most abundant PAH were the 1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes with 2-

methylnaphthalene being about twice as abundant as 1-methylnaphthalene

The ambient concentrations of the PAH exhibited diurnal variations

with the concentrations generally being higher during the nighttime

sampling periods than during the daytime periods This diurnal variation

can most readily be seen for the volatile PAH which were sampled onto the

high and low flow Tenax cartridges and for which individual 12-hr analyses

were carried out This diurnal variation could in general be due to

VIII-1

differing daynight emission rates meteorology (with lower inversion

heights and hence higher concentrations during the nighttime periods

andor differing atmospheric removal rates due to chemical reactions The

observation (Table VI-1 that the magnitude of the diurnal variation

depended on the specific PAH with the largest variations being for the

most chemically reactive PAH indicates that part of this variation was

due to chemical removal of the PAH during daytime hours

The 2-3 ring PAH monitored using the Tenax cartridge system all react

with the OH radical during daylight hours (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and

Aschmann 1987b) with expected lifetimes due to this OH radical reaction

of approximately 3 days for biphenyl and fluorene and 2-12 hrs for the

other PAH The PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene acenaphthene

acenaphthylene and phenanthrene also react to a lesser extent with N2o5bull

In addition acenaphthene and acenaphthylene also react with N03 radicals

(Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) bull These andor radical removalN2o5 N03 processes were likely to be of minor significance during this study since

the N03 radical (and hence N2o5) concentrations were low In addition

acenaphthylene reacts with Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) with thiso3 removal process again being most important during daytime Interestingly

the ratio (average nighttime concentrationaverage daytime concentration)

correlates well with the OH radical reaction rate constant (which varies

from 7 x 10-12 cm3 molecule- 1 s-1 for biphenyl to 1 1 x 10-10 cm3 moleshy1cule-1 s- for acenaphthylene (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and Aschmann

1987b) as shown by the plot in Figure VIII-1 This good correlation

confirms our expectation that daytime reaction with the OH radical is an

important atmospheric removal process for the PAH present in the gas

phase

The nitroarenes also exhibit a diurnal concentration profile as

shown in Figure VIII-2 which gives our earlier data from Torrance CA

(Winer et al 1987) as well as from Citrus College Again this observed

diurnal variation in the nitroarene concentrations can be due to differing

emission rates differing formation rates from their parent PAH during

transport through the atmosphere meteorology or differing removal rates

during daytime and nighttime periods Our data for the PAH (Figure VIII-1)

show that meteorology at Citrus College had a relatively minor effect of

the order of 20J (estimated from the intercept representing no OH radical

( reaction) on the daynight concentration ratio Further it is expected

(Atkinson et al 1987) that the atmospheric OH radical reactions of the

nitroarenes will be relatively slow Hence since 3-nitrobiphenyl is not

expected to be emitted and the daytimenighttime emission rates of the

nitronaphthalenes are not likely to vary significantly the observed difshy

ferences in the daynight concentration profiles for 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl strongly suggest differing formation rates

In particular our observation that the daytime concentrations of 3-nitroshy

biphenyl are always higher than the nighttime concentration ( in total

contrast to the situation for the PAH) shows that 3-nitrobiphenyl must be

made in the atmosphere during daytime hours Indeed we have shown from

laboratory studies (Atkinson et al 1987) that the daytime OH radical

reaction with biphenyl (the only significant atmospheric chemical removal

process for biphenyl) forms 3-nitrobiphenyl in approximately 5j yield

1- and 2-Nitronaphthalene are also formed from the reaction of OH radicals

with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) but these nitroarenes can also be

formed from the nighttime reaction of naphthalene with N2o5 (Atkinson et

al 1987)

In our previous study in Torrance CA (Winer et al 1987) N03 radicals were not present during nighttime hours and hence the N2o5 forshy

mation route to the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes was not operative and the

daytime concentrations of the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes and 3-nitroshy

biphenyl were higher than during the nighttime as expected from a daytime

formation pathway via OH radical reaction from their parent PAH In

contrast at Citrus College N03 radicals were observed on several

evenings and both daytime and nighttime formation of 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene was hence possible (note that 3-nitrobiphenyl could only be formed

during the daytime) Indeed while the daytime 3-nitrobiphenyl concenshy

trations were higher than the nighttime concentrations the 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene concentrations were as high or higher during the

nights Even more interesting is the observation that during daytime the

1- and 2-nitronaphthalene concentrations were comparable consistent with

the similar formation yields from the daytime OH radical-initiated reacshy

tions with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) During nighttime however

the 1-nitronaphthalene concentrations were significantly higher than the

2-nitronaphthalene concentrations consistent with nighttime formation

from N2o5 reaction with naphthalene for which the 1- and 2-nitronaphthashy

lene yields are 15J and 7J respectively (Atkinson et al 1987

The ambient nitroarene concentrations also vary widely from compound

to compound and as with the PAH the most volatile nitroarenes are again

the most abundant Indeed as shown in Table VIII-1 the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl

(measured at both Torrance (Winer et al 1987) and Citrus College are

comparable to the ambient concentrations of fluoranthene and (not shown)

pyrene and are generally an order of magnitude higher than the concenshy

trations of 2-nitrofluoranthene the most abundant particle-associated

nitroarene

As noted in previous sections of this report the PAH themselves are

not directly mutagenic in the Ames assay without microsomal activation

The ambient atmospheric concentrations of the particle-associated nitroshy

arenes (which are direct-acting mutagens when combined with their

mutagenic activities (Table VII-1) allow the ambient mutagenic densities

resulting from the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (by far the most

abundant particle-associated nitroarenes to be calculated Table Vlll-2

8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene for the six time-periods for

nitropyrenes ranged from approximately 1-9 rev m-3_ 2-Nitrofluoranthene

buted by the nitroarenes of molecular weight 247

These calculated nitrofluoranthene and nitropyrene mutagen densities

account for typically 10J of the measured ambient mutagenicity It is

difficult to cite a definite numerical contribution of the nitrofluorshy

anthenes and nitropyrenes to ambient mutagenicity due to potential

problems in the Ames assay as discussed in Section VII above This 10J

figure for the contribution of the particle-associated nitroarenes to

ambient mutagenicity is consistent with the values given by Arey et al

(1988) and shows that the majority ie typically 90j of the mutagenishy

city of ambient POM is presently unaccounted for Ihis as yet unaccountshy

ed for direct-acting mutagenicity could be associated with other PAH-

VIII-6

( derivatives formed in the atmosphere during transport from source to

receptor or from other classes of organics Further work to attempt to

determine the identity of these other mutagens and their sources (direct

emissions versus atmospheric formation) is clearly necessary

In the Carbonaceous Soecies Mthoos Catparison Study in August 1986 at Citrus COllege Glendora CA the ambient concentrations of N~ HONO and HCHO were measured by long pathlength a1rrerent1a1 optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) Ambient concentrations of HNO]t NH3 and HCHO were measured by long patblength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy Signiticant concentrations of these pollutants were observed with mixing rat1s ot up to approximately 140 45 30~ 20 and 15 parts-per-billion (ppb) for N02 HONO ~bull HCHO and NH3 respectively being determined

In addition allbient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr nightshytime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF) plugs and Teflon-impregshynated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples 1were analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associat~d polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and nitroarenes The mutagen densities obtained were consistent with those measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin The following PAH and nitroarenes were observed and quantified naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz ( a )anthracene chrysenetriphenylene benzo(a)pyrene 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3-and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene

I bull PROJECT SUMMARY

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides of nitrogen precursors are complex and

it is necessary to have measurements of the reactant and product species

in as detailed a manner as possible in order to provide a data base

suitable for input into airshed computer models These organic compounds

may be distributed between the gas and particle phases and hence measureshy

ments of their concentrations in both phases must be carried out In

order to allow for a methods development and methods intercomparison prior

to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California

Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two methods intercomparison studies one

in 1985 at Claremont concerning the measurement of nitrogenous species

and a second at Citrus College GleQdora during August of 1986 dealing

principally with the intercomparison of measurement methods for organic

and carbonaceous species

In the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study (CSMCS) at

Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center

(SAPRC) carried out the measurement of several inorganic and organic

species Specifically the following measurements were made

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS) we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02) nitrous acid (HONO) and

formaldehyde (HCHO

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption specshy

troscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) ammonia (NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF)

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbons PAH) and nitroarenes

The DOAS and FT-IR systems utilized 25 m base-path multiple-reflecshy

tion optical systems aligned parallel to one another with the optical

beams being -24 m above the ground surface An extensive data set for

the gas-phase concentrations of N02 HONO HN03 HCHO (by both DOAS and

FT-IR spectroscopy NH3 and the N03 radical was obtained during this

study period The complete data set is tabulated in detail in Sections IV

1-1

and V of this report and Figures I-1 and I-2 show the HCHO HN03 and NH3 time-concentration profiles obtained by FT-IR spectroscopy (Figure I-1)

and the HONO time-concentration profile as monitored by DOAS (Figure I-2)

respectively These two figures and the data presented in Sections IV and

V show that significant concentrations of these pollutants were present

during this sampling period with ambient concentrations of up to

approximately 140 45 30 20 and 15 ppb for N02 BONO HN03 HCHO and

w3 respectively A definitiVe measurement of the presence of No3 radicals was made only on one night during this study (due to the

detection limit for this species) with a peak N03 radical concentration

of 70 ppt being measured on the night of August 13 The presence of N03 radicals at levels lt40 ppt was observed on the evenings of August 13 19

and 20

Ambient particulate organic matter (POM) was collected on a 12-hr

daytime and nighttime sampling period (0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT) and

was tested for mutagenicity towards Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98

with and without added S9) TA98NR (-S9) and TA9818-DNP6 (-S9) The

measured mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of air sampled are given

in Table I-1 These mutagen densities are consistent with those we have

measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin As also observed

previously the mutagen densities and mutagenic activity of the POM

measured in the presence and absence of S9 are essentially indistinguishshy

able with average mutagen densities (strain TA98) of 33 and 35 rev bull-3 with and without S9 respectively

Ambient air was also sampled on filters and solid adsorbents in order

to collect the gas- and particle associated PAH and PAH-derivatives for

combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis Three collection

systems were used to sample ambient air low and high-flow ( 1 and 10 L

min- 1 respectively) cartridges packed with Tenax-GC solid adsorbent to

sample the volatile PAH such as naphthalene and the methylnaphthalenes

Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters backed up by polyurethane

foam (PUF plugs to sample the semi-volatile PAH and nitroarenes present

seven locations in California at which sampling was to be conducted to

obtain data concerning the ambient levels of mutagenicity and of PAH

(including PAH derivatives such as the nitro-PAH) to which populations

were exposed The Glendora site was chosen as the site impacted by

vehicle emissions The mutagenicity data and the concentrations of the

PAH and PAH-derivatives observed at this site are hence an integral part

of our ongoing study A Survey of Ambient Concentrations of Selected

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) at Various Locations in California

11 INTRODUCTION

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides or nitrogen precursors are exceedingly

complex and in order to provide a data base suitable for input into

airshed computer models it is necessary to have measurenents of the reacshytant and product species in as detailed a manner as possible Since these

organic compounds may be distributed between the gas anltI particle phases

measurements of both the gas- and particle-phase concentrations of organic

chemicals must be carried out In order to allow for a methods developshy

ment and methods intercomparison prior to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two

methods intercomparison studies one in 1985 at Clarsont concerning the

measurement of nitrogenous species and a second at Citrus College

Glendora during August of 1986 dealing principally with the intercomparishy

son or measurement methods for organic and carbonaceous species

In this Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study at Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Researcplusmn Center (SAPRC) was

involved in the measurement of a number of inorganic and organic species

Specifically we measured the atmospheric concentrations of the following compounds

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02 nitrous acid (HONO) and formaldehyde (HCHO)

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) anmonia NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyllethane foam PUF

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber TIGF filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbOns (PAH) and nitroarenes

Furthermore the measurements of the ambient atmspheric concentrashy

tions of PAH and PAH-derivatives at Citrus College formed one part of a

further ambient measurement study funded by the ARB Contract No AS-185-

32 dealing with the ambient concentrations of PAH ant PAR-derivatives at

11-1

seven sites throughout California impacted by differing combustion

emission sources The Citrus College site served as the vehicle emissionshyimpacted site for this study

The description or the site at Citrus College Glendora and the

experimental procedures and data obtained from these measurement methods are detailed in the following sections

111 DESCRIPTION OF SITE

As noted earlier this monitoring program was conducted in conshy

junction with the ARB-funded carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison

Study As shown in Figure 111-1 the ARB selected a site adjacent to the

football stadium on the campus of Citrus College for this study The

orientation and relationship of the long pathlength n-IR and OOAS systems

to other investigators is shown in Figure 111-2 The SAPRC high-volume

(Hi-vol) samplers were located Just north of the mobile vans and trailers

of other investigators The optical spectrometers were elevated on

concrete blocks to achieve a 24 m (8 ft) height for the optical beams in

order to minimize the influences or dry deposition of nitric acid and

other nitrogenous species This requirement necessitated a major

restructuring or the FT~IR and DOAS instrument supports In order to

augment the 12 m 4 ft height initially designed into the optical axes

or both of the long pathlength mirror assemblies while at the same time

preventing extraneous vibrations the spectrometers mirror systems and

their housings wereset on massive concrete blocks

Six 4 ft x 4 ft x 10 ft concrete structures were rented from the

Pyramid Precast company which provided the necessary machinery to

position the blocks on premarked areas at the study site Three of these

blocks constituted the support platform for the FT-IR and DOAS assemblies

at each end of the optical path (see Figure 111-2) New 9 ft x 12 ft

sheds were procured and constructed on these platforms during the last

week of August and the first week of September Subsequent assembly and

testing of the spectrometers and optical systems was completed in time for

the scheduled start of the field study on September 11 1985

As shown in Figure 111-2 the two SAPRC 25 m basepath optical systems

were set up parallel to each other and to the scaffolding which supported

most of the samplers from other groups participating in the intercomparishy

son study The optical systems were aligned in a north-south orientation

to minimize scattered light problems at sunrise and sunset and positioned

due west of the scaffolding and various mobile vans and trailers f The study period began at 0800 PDT on Tuesday August 12 and conshy

tinued until 0800 PDT on August 21 The FT-IR and DOAS systems operated

essentially continuously during this period with FT-IR spectra being

IV MEASUREMENTS OF HONO H()2 NO~ RADICALS AND HCHO BY DIFFERENTIAL OPTICAL ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

A Introduction

The development of a long pathlength OOAS system by Perner and Platt

1979) and its application and extension by these workers and by SAPRC

researchers Platt et al 1980ab 1981 1982 1984 Harris et al 1982

Pitts et al 1984ab 1985a) has provided a technique capable of sensishy

tive specific and time-resolved measurements of the ambient concentrashy

tions of a number of important atmospheric species including nitrous

acid formaldehyde the nitrate radical and nitrogen dioxide

In this section we briefly describe the design and operation of the

25 m basepath DOAS system employed to measure ambient levels of N03 radicals HONO N02 and HCHO during the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study and the results obtained during this measurement

period A more detailed description of the experimental system is provided in an earlier report to the ARB (Winer et al 1987)

B Experimental Methods

The 25 m basepath optical system (Figure IV-1) was of the threeshy

mirror White design but with an added corner reflector at the in-focus

end which effectively doubled its maximum pathlength capability The

mirrors were fabricated from 30 cm dia x 5 cm thick Pyrex blanks and

coated with a custom dielectric coating for optimum reflectivity in the spectral regions of interest

The DOAS system measures the ambient concentrations of trace

components which have distinct vibronic structures by their light

absorption in the near-ultraviolet (uv) and visible spectral regions

White light from a 75 W high pressure Xenon lamp was imaged by a spherical

mirror into the plane of the nesting (in-focus) mirror of the White cell

and then propagated through the multiple reflection optics until it

emerged from the system and was imaged onto the entrance slit of the

monochromator SPEX 1870 05 m) The light intensity was monitored by a

photomultiplier EMI 9659Q) and the signal acquired and averaged by a DEC

MINC 1123 minicomputer

With the DOAS a rotating slotted disk was used to allow rapid

scanning The slotted disk was formed by etching a set of exit slits (100

microm wide 10 m spacing) radially into a thin metal disk This disk was

rotated in the focal plane of the dispersed spectrua As each slit moved across the opening between the masks that block the two adjacent slits it

scanned a spectral range of -30-60 nm depending on the rotation frequency

of the slotted disk The orientation of the spectrometer grating

determined which specific spectral region was scanned As employed in its

final form in this program the slotted disk rotated at -4 Hz resulting in

a scan rate of -100 Hz well above the frequency distribution of

atmospheric turbulence (which otherwise would introduce unwanted structure

into the spectra)

As a slit became visible at the edge of the mask it was detected by

an infrared photodiode A trigger signal was sent to the computer which

continuously recorded digitized samples of the light intensity as the slit

scanned across the spectrum Since several tens of thousand such scans

were acquired and added in the computer memory within a few minutes this

improved the signal-to-noise ratio of the resulting spectrum The

rotational speed of the slotted disk was maintained constant to within

101j to preserve the spectral resolution while superimposing the scans

The computer was also used for spectral deconvolution and for the

calculation of optical densities

Since a single scan required only -10 msec atmospheric scintillation

effects had little effect on the signal Moreover since typically (2-8)

x 104 individual scans were recorded and signal-averaged over each several

minute measurement period even complete but momentary interruption of

the light beam had no appreciable effect on the final spectrum Except

under the haziest conditions stray light effects were negligible due to

the instruments narrow field of view -8 x 10-5 steradians] and in any

case stray light could be taken into account by means of appropriate

background spectra

The concentrations of atmospheric species were derived from Beers

Law However since the light intensity in the absence of any absorption

(1 0 ) cannot be obtained with this technique the differential optical

density was employed and thus only those compounds which have structured

absorption spectra could be measured Table IV-1 gives the characteristic

IV-3

absorption bands and detection limits for a number of atmospheric species

of interest based on a km pathlength It can be seen that the

detection limits range from 3 ppb for HCHO down to -10 ppt for the N03 radical For automatic scanning of spectra 32 or 40 reflections (corresshy

ponding to pathlengths of 800 and 1000 m respectively) were generally

employed and the corresponding detection limits for quantitative analyses

were then 06-07 ppb for HONO and 13-16 ppt for N03 radicals

limit equivalent to an optical density of 3 x o-14 bull The data reduction

process was more automated than previously and thus the detection limit was raised from 2 x 10-4 to 3 x 10-4 OD to offset the tendency of the

software to interpret noise at the detection limit as a peak The

corresponding detection limits were N02 35 ppb HOHO 08 ppb and

HCHO 45 ppb

Because the HONO and HCHO bands are overlapped by N02 bands and N02 is more abundant in the Los Angeles basin the DOAS spectra must be first

analyzed for N02 to enable its features to be quantitatively removed prior

to determining HONO and HCHO concentrations Figure IV-2 shows the timeshy

concentration profile for N02 from 0000 PDT on August 13 to 0800 PDT on

August 21 The solid line shows the DOAS data while the dashed line

shows measurements made by our chemiluminescence oxides of nitrogen

analyzer The two curves track each other very well during the nighttime

and early morning hours In the afternoon the NOx analyzer consistently

read 10 to 30 ppb higher since the DOAS values at those times were as low

as 15-25 ppb this caused a discrepancy of a factor of two or more The

higher values measured by the chemiluminescence method are attributed to

the known interferences of HN03 and PAN in this detection method

consistent with the levels or HN03 and PAN in the afternoon periods being

approximately equivalent to this difference in the DOAS N02 and chemilshy

uminescence N0x-H0 readings

After the quantitative removal of the N02 features from the OOAS

spectra the data reduction procedure utilized a simultaneous leastshy

squares fit or HON0 and HCHO reference spectra to the residual ambient air

spectra Figure IV-3 shows the time concentration profile for HCHO as

determined by DOAS (solid line) For comparison the FT-IR data from

Section V are shown as the dashed line The agreement between the two

methods is very good with the discrepancies being within the error

limits However it appears that the OOAS results for the first four

nights are consistently higher than the FT-IR data by about 1-3 ppb This

could be due to an overestimation of HCH0 absorption features in the OOAS

spectra since the reported FT-IR HCH0 levels were at or below the DOAS

detection limit of 45 ppb (where the signal-to-noise ratio was near

unity)

Finally the H0N0 time-concentration profile for August 13-21 is

presented in Figure IV-4 No comparison data are available for HON0 for

this study However as discussed above the only source of a large

systematic error would be the literature value for the HON0 absorption

cross-sections used in the calculations During the Citrus College field

study nighttime HON0 levels were higher than observed in the 1985

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study at Claremont where the maximum

HON0 concentrations were in the range 15 to 25 ppb For five of the

nights at Citrus College the HON0 concentrations were also in the same

range However for three nights H0N0 levels attained -35 ppb and

during the last night of the study H0N0 reached a maximum of Jamp5 ppb

There was however no correlation of the HON0 concentrations to the

nighttime N02 levels which were relatively constant at 60-75 ppb Since

the heterogeneous formation of H0N0 from N02 involves moisture correlashy

tions to other parameters such as relative humidity and particulate

loading may prove interesting

V LONG PATHLENGTH FT-IR MEASUREMENTS OF HN03 NH3 AND HCHO

A Introduction

As discussed elsewhere in more detail (Winer et al 1987) the long

pathlength FT-IR system was employed to provide benchmark data for the

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study held at Pomona College

(Claremont) in September 1985 Following this the FT-IR spectrometer

participated in our winter field study at El Camino CoDJDUnity College

(Torrance) Due to a need for a more detailed comparison of HN03 measurements by the FT-IR and tunable diode laser spectroscopic (TDLS)

methods than had been possible during the 1985 Claremont study the

longpath FT-IR system was subsequently set up in Glendora on the Citrus

College campus for more intensive measurements of HN03 and NH3 between

August 12-21 1986 In this study species coverage by the FT-IR method

was extended to include the measurement of formaldehyde (HCH0) Attempts

were also made to detect N2o5 in ambient air by thorough examination of

the spectra recorded in the late afternoon and evening hours Alllllonia

(NH3) was included among middot the species measured since in certain

localities it can profoundly affect the concentration of gaseous HN03 by

its reaction to form aerosol anmonium nitrate (Doyle et al 1979 Tuazon

et al 1980)

B Experimental

1 Kilometer Pathlength FT-IR System

Measurements of ambient air pollutants by infrared spectroscopy

were carried out using a recently constructed 25-m basepath open

multiple-reflection optical system interfaced to a Mattson Instruments

Inc Sirius 100 FT-IR spectrometer This spectr0111eter has a maximum

resolution capability of 0125 cm-1 and is equipped with a Motorola 68000-

based data system The long pathlength optics are of the three-mirror

White design (White 1942) with provisions for adding a corner reflector

at the in-focus end (Horn and Pimentel 1971) when desired to effectively

double the systems pathlength The mirrors in this new optical system

were fabricated from 30 cm diameter 6 cm thick Pyrex blanks and goldshy

coated for the best reflectivity (~99J) in the infrared The optimum

pathlength for monitoring was determined to be in the 1-1 5 km range

V-1

during routine operation although short-term use or optical patha greater

than 2 km were possible

As discussed in Section Ill the long pathlengtb FT-IR spectrometer

was operated alongside the long pathlength DOAS systell as shown in Figure

V-1 The optical layout of the FT-IR system is preaented in more detail

in Figure V-2 The sets or mirrors of the two spectrometers were arrayed

in opposite directions but aligned side by side in a compact arrangement

which made possible simultaneous analyses of virtually the same air

mass The FT-IR spectrometer was housed in an air conditioned shed while

the multiple reflection mirror assembly outside was shaded from direct

sunlight by protective shields While the spectrometer system had an

initial height of 1 2 m (above ground level) designed into the optical

axis this was raised to a total of 24 m (8 ft) the C0111110n sampling

height required for all analytical techniques being compared during this

field study Massive concrete blocks were employed as support structures

to attain this sampling height

2 Acquisition of Spectra

Spectra were recorded at a pathlength of 1150 meters and 0125 1cm- resolution unapodized) Sixty-four scans interferograms) were

added during a 45-min period and then transformed (calculation time of

-25 min) to a single beam spectrum Each spectrUII of 128 K points was 1truncated and the spectral region from 400 to 3000 cm- which contained

the absorption bands of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 used for analysis was retained

and archived

Four to five spectra per hour were collected This rate or data

collection permitted a real-time examination of the quality of spectra

being recorded and such checks were consistently made during daytime and

early evening hours 0800-2200 PDT) During the noncritical period of

2200-0600 hours when nitric acid was expected to be below the detection

limit the FT-IR spectrometer was programed to conduct automatic

monitoring

expanded plot or the HN03 spectrum in the range 870-910 cm- 1 is presented

in Figure V-11 to which is added a middotqualitative single beam spectrum or 1clean ambient air at a pathlength of 1150 m The Q-branch at 896 1 cm-

was the most appropriate one for quantitative measureaent because or its

favorable half-width and minimal interference by ataaspheric water vapor

We restricted our measurements to the heights of the sharp absorption (Qshy

branch) features only since measurements which include the broad undershy

lying envelope were more susceptible to unknown interferences The 8854 1cm- Q-branch was totally free of interferences but its relatively

narrower line shape was more susceptible to distortion by noise while the 1strongest Q-branch at 8789 cm- was severely overlapped by a strong water

line

Of the numerous sharp features of the NH3 spectna depicted in Figure

V-3 the lines at 11034 and 8679 cm-1 though not the strongest suffer

the least interference by H2o and CO2 absorption lines and were therefore

the ones chosen for analysis The line positions of NH3 relative to those

of atmospheric H20 (and CO2) in the 1080-1120 cm-1 region are shown in

Figure V-5 The calibration procedure for trn3 was straightforward

Spectra were recorded at O 125 cm- 1 resolution for several NH3 pressures

in the range 02-1 torr which were measured to within 10005 torr

accuracy with an MKS Baratron capacitance manometer The NH3 samples were

transferred to a 25-cm cell with KBr windows and pressurized with N2 gas

to atmospheric pressure No measurable decay of IH3 concentration was

observed within the 15-minute period during which repeat spectra were

recorded for each sample These data yielded absorptivities (base 10) at

23degC and 740 torr total pressure of 182 cm-1 atm-1 for the 11034 cm-1

peak and 97 cm-1 atm- 1 for the 8679 cm- 1 peak with uncertainties of t5J

(two standard deviations for both values

A similar calibration procedure was not possible for HN03 because of

its significant decay to the walls of the 25-cm cell We determined our

high resolution absorptivity values relative to the data of Graham and

Johnston (1978) who made an accurate determination of the absorptivity of

the HN03 4 ( 1325 cm- 1 fundamental band at -2 cm-1 resolution using two

independent methods for generating HN03 ( for more details see also Graham

1975) We assigned Graham and Johnstons ( 1978 absorptivity value

feature in our 0125 cm- 1 resolution spectrum after S1100thing the latter

to -2 cm-1 resolution The absorptivity tor a Q-branch (eg 8961 cm- 1)

at O 125 cm-1 resolution was then determined from the intensity ratio of

the unsmoothed Q-branch to the smoothed P-branch

Smoothing removes the fine structure superimposed on the bandv4 envelope and in order to test the adequacy of tbe smoothing function

1employed measurements were carried out in which 2 cm-1 and 0125 cm-

resolution spectra were recorded alternately for an 11103 sample To take

into account the HN03 decay in the cell the 1315 cm-1 peak heights at 2

cm- 1 resolution were plotted against time as were those or the 0125 cm- 1

resolution spectra after having been smoothed to -2 m-1 resolution The

two curves were found to be indistinguishable indicating the accuracy or

the smoothing function applied The above procedure yielded a value of

52 plusmn 04 cm- 1 atm-1 for the absorptivity (base 10) of the HN03 peak at

896 1 cm- 1 (Q-branch height only) with the two standard deviation error

including that reported by Graham (1975) This value is in fact the same

as that we previously determined for this peak at 05 cm-1 resolution

(Tuazon et al 1980) Following the same method the absorptivity of the

8854 cm-1 Q-branch was found to be 61 plusmn 05 cm-1 ata- 1bull

The calibration procedure for HCHO was the sue as that for NH bull3Formaldehyde samples were pre-distilled from paraformaldehyde and

immediately used after collection in a liquid nitrogen cooled trap The

absorptivity value of the 2781 0 cm- 1 Q-branch an absorption peak well

isolated from H2o absorptions was determined to be 89 plusmn 05 cm- 1 atm-1

4 Treatment of Data

The quantitative analysis of species such as NH3 which possess

relatively narrow Q-branch features which are sufficiently resolved from

atmospheric H2o absorptions was normally straightforward The absorbance

(log 10 1 was derived directly from the single beaa spectrum and thus a

ratio plot against an actual background spectrum was not necessary Proshy

vided that the detector had a linear response 10

and I as determined from

a single beam spectrum had values on an arbitrary scale in which zero

corresponded to zero signal on the detector The appropriate differential

absorption coefficient such as those determined above and the absorption

pathlength had to be applied to the absorption intensity measured between

V-9

and I in order to convert to concentration units This procedure was10

followed for the 11034 and 8679 cm-1 lines of NH3 Estimates of the HN03 concentration could also be obtained from

single-beam spectra by employing the 8854 cmmiddot1 Q-branch However the

HN03 analysis was more reliably carried out using the 8961 cm-1 Q-branch

by ratioing the sample spectrum with a clean background spectrum a

procedure which improved the baseline and resulted in essentially complete

cancellation of a very weak H20 interference Background spectra were

chosen from those recorded at around midnight during low pollution days

since previous measurements (Spicer et al 1982) showed HN03 levels that

were much lower (lt1 ppb) than the FT-IR detection limit under these

conditions

The peak-to-peak noise level in the ratio spectrum was typically

00025 absorbance unit base 10) corresponding to a 250 1 signal to

peak-to-peak noise ratio for single spectral records The absorption

peaks used for the analyses were much wider than the frequency of random

noise such that peak heights as small as the noise level could be

detected above the noise itself Thus the detection sensitivities were

3-5 ppb for HN03 1-2 ppb for NH3 and 2-3 ppb for HCHO The lower

detection limit for each compound was realized when turbulence due to

temperature gradients andor wind were minimal for example during

nighttime hours)

The possible detection of N2o5 depended on how well its broad band

centered at 1246 cm- 1 ( 12) could be discerned from interfering H20

absorptions The H2o interferences were reduced by ratioing the sample

spectra against selected background spectra taken during those periods

(mid-morning to noon) when N2o5 was believed not to be present due to the

rapid photolysis of No3 radicals Although exact cancellation of the H2o absorptions was not possible the windows between these absorptions were

sufficient to define a baseline from which the presence of a broad absorpshy

tion contour could be distinguished From the literature value of 188

cm- 1 atmmiddot 1 for the absorptivity of the 1246 cm-1 peak (Graham 1975 Graham

and Johnston 1978) it was calculated that 5 ppb N2o5 at a pathlength of

1150 m would give a signal of -001 absorbance unit (base 10) approxishy

mately 4 times the peak-to-peak baseline noise of the ratio spectrum

V-10

The largest source of uncertainty in the analyses was the noise level

in the spectrum with other errors being generally negligible We

assigned to each peak height measurement the maxillum error which was

equal to the peak-to-peak noise level For HN03 this error was 4 ppb

The uncertainty arising from the error in the absorptivity (of the 8961

cm- 1 Q-branch in this case) increased with the concentration However

this contribution to the overall error limit was relatively small for the

range of HN03 concentrations encountered For example it increased the

t4 ppb error by only 10j when included in the error calculation for an

HN03 concentration of 25 ppb For NH concentrations i20 ppb the sum of uncertainties due to noise3

and error in the absorptivity of the 11034 cm-1 line was plusmn15 ppb At

higher concentrations the contribution from the absorptivity error became

relatively more important A detailed plot of this error contribution as

a function of concentration revealed that it is nearly linear in the

concentration range 20 to 100 ppb permitting the additional error to be

calculated from the empirical formula (0044( [NH3]-20) ppb Thus for the measurement of 60 ppb NH3 the total error can be calculated as [ 15 +

0 044 )( 60-20)] = plusmn33 ppb

For the range of HCH0 concentrations encountered in the 1986 Glendora

study the measurement errors were less than plusmn3 ppb

C Results and Discussion

As discussed in Section II our measurements were conducted in

conjunction with the CARB-sponsored Carbonaceous Species Methods

Comparison Study which occurred from 0800 PDT August 12 to 0800 PDT

August 21 1986 ln contrast with the low level of air pollution during

the 1985 Claremont summer field study this August 1986 measurement period

at Citrus College was characterized by moderately high levels of photoshy

chemical activity Except for the second day of measurements the maximum

hourly average o3 concentrations exceeded 200 ppb each day

The FT-IR spectra obtained were analyzed for the simultaneous concenshy

trations of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 The detailed instantaneous data are

presented in Table V-1 and are plotted in Figure V-6 The hourly average concentrations are presented in Tables V-2 to V-4 Except for periods of

power disruption on August 14 and the loss of most of the daytime data on

August 17 due to a fault in archiving the data onto agnetic tapes the

FT-IR system provided continuous coverage of HCHO and 1H3 concentrations

since they were always above the respective detection 11llits of -2-3 ppb

and -1-15 ppb HN~ was generally above the -3-Ji ppb detection

sensitivity between 0800 hr and 2000 hr each day throughout the study

period As for the 1985 Claremont and the 1986 Torrance studies N2o5 was

not observed above the estimated detection limit of 4 ppb

The FT-IR analysis of formaldehyde was easily carried out with the

use of single-beam spectra since the HCHO infrared spectrum has a Qshy

branch at 27810 cm-1 well isolated from other atmospheric absorptions

HCHO was included as one of the species to be measured by FT-IR (except

during the first day) because of the need for a standard against which

other HCHO methods employed at this study could be compared Our

contribution to this aspect of the carbonaceous species study was to

provide HCHO measurements by both DOAS and FT-IR spectroscopy either

method of which can serve as a benchmark standard l comparison or the

two sets of spectroscopic data for HCHO has been discussed in Section IV

and comparison with the results of the other HCHO methods is currently

being carried out by Dr Douglas Lawson of the CARB

The NH3 concentrations observed in Glendora (Table V-2) during the

first six days or the field study (September 12-17 were generally in the

range of 2-4 ppb These levels are similar to those aeasured during the

1985 Claremont study for the periods when there was no localized transport

of NH3 to the latter site from nearby agricultural sources NH3 levels

during the remaining days (August 18-21 were more variable and generally

about twice the above range of values (Figure V-6 he erratic pattern

found in the NH3 concentrations during these three days which is also

noticeable in the more well-defined HCHO and HN03 concentration profiles

(Figure V-6 could well be due to the prevailing wind conditions

The maximum instantaneous concentrations of HN~ attained 20 ppb or

higher during the eight days that the FT-IR measurements provided detailed

HN03 profiles (Figure V-6) with the highest concentration of 33 ppb being

observed on August 19 Comparison of our Dasibi ozone data with the FT-IR

measurements of HN03 showed a strong correspondence between the HN03 and

maxima This is illustrated in Figure V-7 for the pollution episodeso3 of August 15-16 where the hourly average HN03 concentrations (by FT-IR)

VI AMBIENT CONCENTRATIONS OF PAH AND NITRO-PAH

A Introduction

The PAH emitted from combustion sources exhibit a wide range of

volatility and are hence distributed in the atmosphere between the gas

and particle phases As we have shown previously (Arey et al 1987)

complementary sampling techniques are required to obtain a comprehensive

data set concerning the concentrations of volatile and non-volatile PAH

and their derivatives in the atmosphere Thus the volatile 2-ring PAH such as naphthalene which are present almost entirely in the gas-phase

can be quantitatively collected on Tenax GC solid adsorbent The nonshy

volatile 5-ring and larger PAH and 3- to 4-ring nitro-PAH are particle

associated and are collected totally on the Hi-vol filters The 3- and 4-

ring PAH of intermediate volatility and the 2-ring nitro-PAH can be

collected on PUF plugs as well as on the filters indicating that they are

either present mainly in the gas-phase or are blown-off the filter

during the collection period Thus three different collection media were

employed for the ambient air sampling at Citrus College Tenax-GC solid

adsorbent PUF plugs and Hi-vol filters The ambient air samples were

collected from August 12 to August 21 with 12-hr day (0800-2000 PDT) and

night (2000-0800 PDT) sampling intervals

B Experimental

1 Sampling Media Cleaning Procedure

Tenax-GC solid adsorbent was Soxhlet extracted in a cellulose

thimble for -5 hr in a 64 (vv) acetonehexane mixture After packing in

Pyrex tubes (using precleaned glass wool) the Tenax cartridges were

conditioned for -4 hr by heating at 275degC with nitrogen flowing through

them at -20 mL min- 1 The Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters

and PUF plugs were cleaned by Soxhlet extraction for -16 hr in methylene

chloride followed by another 16 hr extraction with methanol

2 Tenax-GC Cartridges Sampling and Analysis

Two sizes of Tenax-GC cartridge were used for the collection of

gas-phase PAH at different flow rates Low-flow cartridges consisted of

10 cm x 4 nnn id Pyrex tubes packed with 0 1 g of Tenax GC solid

adsorbent with sampling flow rates of -1 L min-1 yielding an -06 m3

VI-1

volume of air for each 12-hr sampling period High-flow cartridges

consisted of 10 cm x 1 cm id Pyrex tubes packed with 06 g of Tenax-GC

and operated at flow rates of -10 L min-1 resulting in -6 m3 of air

sampled during a 12-hr period Each low-flow cartridge was equipped with

back-up Tenax cartridge placed in series downstream from the first

cartridge to check for breakthrough

After sampling the Tenax cartridges were stored in dry-ice transshy

ported to SAPRC and stored in a freezer prior to analysis

For analysis deuterated internal standards were added to the lowshy

and high-flow Tenax cartridges respectively as follows in microg)

naphthalene-d5 (18 16) biphenyl-d10 (07 10) phenanthrene-d 10 (06

06) The low- and high-flow cartridges were eluted with 2 mL and 10 mL respectively of diethyl ether which was then solvent exchanged to -02

mL of acetonitrile (using a micro-Snyder apparatus for the high-flow

cartridges)

PAH identifications and quantifications were made by combined gas

chromatographymass spectrometry (GCMS) with multiple ion detection

(MID) as described in detail below

3 High-Volume Filters Followed by PUF Plugs Sampling and Analysis

Two high-volume sampler systems consisting of a TIGF filter

follow by four PUF plugs (-9 cm diameter x 5 cm thickness) [see Figure VI-

1] were run at -23 SCFM for 12 hr intervals yielding ambient samples

collected from -1000 m3 of air

Prior to analysis the PUF plugs were combined into six samples

consisting of a single day sample and a single nighttime sample from the

early portion of the study single day and single night samples from the

latter part of the study and composite samples from four day and four

nights Specifically the samples were (11) August 13 0800-2000 hr

(2) August 13-14 2000-0800 hr (3) August 15 16 17 and 18 0800-2000

hr (4) August 15-16 16-17 17-18 18-19 2000-0800 hr (5 August 20

0800-2000 hr (6 August 20-21 2000-0800 hr

The samples from a single 12-hr day or night collection period (ie

samples 1 2 5 and 6) each consisted of eight PUF plugs (four from each

of the two Hi-vols used and these were combined and extracted together

The composite samples 3 and 4 were each analyzed in two parts ~UF

plugs 1-3 (see Figure VI-1) and to check for breakthrough of the more

Soxhlet extracted overnight (-16 hr) with methylene chloride concentrated

by rotary evaporation under vacuum to -4 mL filtered through 045 microm

Acrodiscs (Gelman Sci) and concentrated further under a stream of

nitrogen to -500 microL

The extracts were fractionated by HPLC using an Altex semi-prepashy

rative scale Ultrasphere Silica column (1 cm x 25 cm) Figure VI-2 shows

a typical HPLC profile of a PUF plug extract together with the mobile

phase program employed A fraction containing the PAH was collected from

4 min to 22 min and a nitroarene-containing fraction from 22 min to 34

min The fractions were concentrated by rotary evaporation then taken

just to dryness under a stream of nitrogen After dissolving in acetoshy

nitrile or CH2c12 the PAH and nitroarene fractions were analyzed by

GCMS-MID as described below

4 Hi-Vols with TIGF Filters Sampling and Analysis

Seven Hi-vol samplers each equipped with a 10 microm cut-off inlet

were employed for POM collection The samplers were run at -40 SCFM

yielding an ambient sample collected from -800 m3 of air for each Hi-vol

over a 12-hr sampling period Two Hi-vols were employed solely for the

collection of POM used for mutagenicity testing The TIGF filters from

the remaining five Hi-vols were combined into six samples corresponding to

the PUF plug samples described above ie samples 1 and 2 and samples

5 and 6 comprised the single day and night samples from August 13-14 and

August 20-21 respectively and samples 3 and 4 were the composite day

and night samples from August 15-16 16-17 17-18 and 18-19 The filter

extraction and work-up procedure was as shown in Scheme VI-1 Each sample

was spiked with deuterated internal standards as follows (single 12-hr

5 GCMS Analyses

Compound identifications and quantifications were made using

either a Finnigan 3200 quadrupole GCMS interfaced to a Teknivent data

system or a Hewlett Packard 5890 GC interfaced to a Hewlett Packard 5970

mass selective detector MSD) both operated in the electron impact mode

(70 eV) The GC separations were done either on a 60 m DB-5 fused silica

capillary column with a cool on-column injection system (J ampWScientific

Inc) or on a 30 m DB-5 fused silica capillary column with splitless

injection Both columns eluted directly into the MS ion source

Calibration curves for the GCMS-MID quantification of the PAH were

made for the molecular ion peaks of the PAH using the corresponding

deuterated species (or the deuterated species most closely matched in

volatility and retention characteristics) as an internal standard The

C Results

1 Volatile PAH Sampled on Tenax-GC Cartridges

The most abundant PAH collected on the Tenaz-GC cartridges were

naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene GC~ analysis of Tenax

samples in the full scanning mode (rather than the MID mode used for

quantification) showed that not unexpectedly several alkylbenzenes were

also very abundant Table VI-1 sUJ11Darizes the ambient concentrations (ng

m-3) of the volatile PAH measured For reasons which will be detailed

below the naphthalene data from the low-flow cartridges have been

utilized while the data for the remaining PAH have been taken from the

values obtained from the high-flow cartridges

In Appendix B Table B-1 the microg quantities of each PAH measured on

the low-flow Tenax cartridges (for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications)

and the calculated total volumes for each sample are listed Replicate

injections gave reproducible values for naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylshy

naphthalene while the levels of biphenyl fluorene and phenanthrene were

too low for accurate quantification Also listed in Table B-1 are the

quantities of PAH observed on the back-up Tenax cartridges which were

also generally too low for accurate quantification Table B-2 lists the

microg quantities measured and volumes sampled for the high-flow cartridges

Since the volumes of air sampled on the high-flow cartridges was a factor

of 10 greater than the low-flow cartridges biphenyl fluorene and phenshy

anthrene could be accurately determined and in addition acenaphthylene

and acenaphthene were measured

Only traces of naphthalene were observed on the Tenax cartridges

which were back-up cartridges for the low-flow Tenax ie less than a

few percent of that measured on the primary cartridge Therefore

naphthalene was collected quantitatively on the low-flow Tenax Table VI-

2 compares the ambient naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene concenshy

trations calculated from the low-flow and high-flow Tenax cartridges The

high-flow values for naphthalene were consistently lower than those

obtained from the low-flow Tenax samples indicating that naphthalene was

not collected quantitatively at a collection rate of 10 L min- 1 at the

ambient temperatures encountered at Citrus College Hence the low-flow

Tenax values for naphthalene are given in Table VI-1

( There is good agreement between the nighttime concentrations of the

1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes calculated from the low- and high-flow Tenax

samples For the daytime samples when the observed concentrations were

generally low the high-flow values tended to be somewhat higher than the

low-flow values and were judged to be more accurate It should be noted

that the low-flow values for 1-methylnaphthalene have been corrected for a

significant interference which was observed on the back-up Tenax

2 PAH Sampled on PUF Plugs

GCMS analysis of the HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts in

which the PAH elute (see Figure VI-2) showed this fraction to contain many

less abundant alkyl-PAH and dibenzothiophene as well as fluorene phenshy

anthrene anthracene fluoranthene and pyrene It must be remembered that

these PAH will be distributed between the gaseous and particle phases in

ambient air and that the quantities measured on the PUF plugs are the sum

of the PAH in the gas phase and the PAH initially present on the POM but

blown-off during the collection period

The ambient concentrations of five PAH and the sulfur heterocycle

dibenzothiophene measured on the PUF plugs are given in Table vI3 The

most abundant PAH collected on the PUF plugs was fluorene From the

composite samples in which the fourth PUF plugs were analyzed separately

it was obvious that fluorene (mw 166) and PAH of higher volatility were

not collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs since substantial amounts

were present on the fourth PUF (see Table VI-3) Consistent with fluorene

not being collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs the ambient concenshy

trations of fluorene listed in Table VI-1 from the Tenax cartridge quanshy

tifications are -2-5 fold higher than those listed in Table VI-3 The

ambient concentrations of phenanthrene measured on the PUF plugs and Tenax

cartridges agree to within better than a factor of two

Figure VI-4 shows the GCMS-MID traces of naphthalene and alkylshy

naphthalenes for the Tenax and PUF samples from the evening of 813-1486

From the Tenax sample trace it is clear that naphthalene was the most

abundant species (at a measured concentration of -5000 ng m-3)

Comparing the Tenax and PUF sample traces it is apparent that naphthalene

was retained on the PUF plugs only to a minor extent (with a measured

concentration of -2 ng m-3 Interestingly although not quantitatively

collected on the PUF plugs the presence of dimethylnaphthalenes in

ambient air is apparent from the PUF samples

3 Diurnal Variations in the Volatile PAH

The ambient concentrations of naphthalene measured for 12-hr day

and night sampling intervals throughout the Citrus College study are shown

in Figure VI-5 It can be seen from these data that the naphthalene conshy

centrations were generally higher during the evening sampling intervals

and that there was a trend toward higher concentrations in the latter part

of the study

The daytime and nighttime concentrations of _ and 2-methylnaphthashy

lene are shown in Figure VI-6 As observed for naphthalene the nighttime

concentrations were generally higher The concentration of 2-methylshy

naphthalene was consistently higher than that of 1-methylnaphthalene The

concentration profiles of the methylnaphthalenes were remarkably similar

perhaps indicating a common source and similar atmospheric loss processes

Reaction with the hydroxyl radical is expected to be the major loss

process for both species with essentially identical atmospheric lifetimes

for 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987a)

All of the volatile PAH were generally more abundant during the

nighttime than daytime sampling intervals (see Table VI-1 and VI-3

Meteorological factors such as inversion heights may certainly have played

a role in this observed trend at Citrus College bu it can be seen that

these diurnal variations are not solely due to meteorology by comparing

the diurnal profiles of species of differing reactiviy For example the

GCMS-MID traces for the molecular ion of biphenyl a11d acenaphthene (mz

154 for a typical daytime and nighttime Tenax sample are shown in Figure

VI-7 As seen from this figure acenaphthene [the ioore reactive of these

PAH (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b] was generally significantly more

abundant in the nighttime samples presumably beig removed by rapid

reaction with the OH radical during daylight hours

GCMS-MID traces of daytime and nighttime PUF samples showing the

analyses of isomeric PAH of differing reactivity are shown in Figures VI-8

and VI-9 While phenanthrene was abundant on both ~~e day and nighttime

PUF plug samples the relative abundance of anthracen~ to phenanthrene was

consistently higher at night Figure VI-8) Similarly acephenanthrylene

an isomer of fluoranthene and pyrene expected to be more reactive than

these PAH towards ozone (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) was generally not

observed in the daytime PUF samples from Citrus College (Figure VI-9)

4 Nitroarenes Sampled on PUF Plugs

The HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts eluting from 22 to 34

min (Figure VI-2) contained the volatile nitroarene species The most

abundant nitroarenes were 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene GCMS analysis in

the full scanning mode showed that this nitroarene-containing HPLC

fraction also contained alkylnitrophenols

Figure Vl-10 shows GCMS-MID traces from a typical analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug extract for 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene (NN) As

seen from this figure identification was based on the presence of several

characteristic fragment ions as well as retention time matching with the

1-nitronaphthalene-d7 internal standard Figure VI-11 shows the presence

of several peaks at mz 187 which elute after 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene

These peaks were identified as methylnitronaphthalenes ( 14 isomers are

possible on the basis of the presence of characteristic [M-N02]+ and [Mshy

HN02J+ fragment ions as well as the mz 187 molecular ion

GCMS-MID traces of a standard mixture of the three nitrobiphenyl

isomers and two isomers of nitroacenaphthene are shown in Figure VI-12

5-Nitroacenaphthene has previously been reported in ambient air (Tokiwa et

al 1981) At Torrance CA during a wintertime high-NOx episode we did

not observe nitroacenaphthene but measured high concentrations of the

isomeric species 3-nitrobiphenyl (Arey et al 1987) In Figure Vl-13 the

[Mr ions of the standard mixture are shown together with the [M)+ ions

and characteristic fragment ion traces obtained from the analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug sample As at Torrance CA the nitroarene isomer

of mw 199 observed at Citrus College was clearly 3-nitrobiphenyl

Table Vl-4 gives the microg quantities of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and

3-nitrobiphenyl collected on the PUF plugs at Citrus College From the

fourth PUF plugs of the composite samples it can be seen that 3-

nitrobiphenyl was quantitatively collected on the first three PUF plugs

Particularly during the daytime samples some breakthrough of 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene occurred In addition to these nitroarene species

traces of 9-nitroanthracene were observed in most of the Citrus College

PUF plug samples but the levels present were too low to quantify

5 PAH Sampled on TIGF Filters

As described in Section B above the extracts of the TIGF filters

were fractionated by HPLC HPLC fractions 2-5 (see Figure VI-3) were

collected as the PAH fraction with fractions 6-7 being chosen to include

the n i troarenes Through the use of deuterated internal standards it

became apparent that the higher molecular weight PAH such as dibenz(ah)shy

anthracene were eluting in HPLC fractions 6-7 The data reported here

for the PAH on filters will be for the lower molecular weight species

ie fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and

benzo(a)pyrene Fractions 6-7 will be analyzed for the higher molecular

weight PAH and the full range of data for PAH on particles will be given

in our final report for our on-going CARB project (Contract No A5-185-

32) A survey of ambient concentrations of selected polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons (PAH) at various locations in California

Table VI-6 lists values for fluoranthane pyrene benz(a)anthracene

chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene in the NBS SRM 1649 an air

particulate sample collected in Washington DC The values recently

reported by the NBS (Wise et al 1986) for analyses by GC and HPLC with

fluorescence detection along with our values determined by GCMS-MID are

given The extraction and clean-up procedures we used for the SRM

particles were as described in Section B for the Citrus College POM sample

analyses As can be seen from Table VI-6 the agreement between our

values and those reported by NBS is generally excellent

The microg quantities of the five PAH measured in the Citrus College POM

samples for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications are given in Appendix B

Table B-3 The concentrations of these five PAH in ng m-3 (averaging the

replicate values) are given in Table VI-7 Two additional samples 7 and

8 repeat day and night composites are also listed in Tables B-3 and

VI-7 It was found that in taking the benzenemethanol extracts to a

constant weight a significant fraction of the deuterated internal stanshy

dards fluoranthene-d 10 pyrene-d 10 and even 2-nitrofluoranthene-d9 were

lost The use of internal standards should of course allow for correcshy

tion of such losses Since all of the filters from each day or night

comprising these composites had not been extracted we made replicate

composite samples and extracted these replicates with dichloromethane As

can be seen from Table VI-7 the composites and the repeat composites

VI-28

agree to within better than a factor of two In our current procedure for

POM analyses the benzenemethanol extract is not taken to dryness

6 Nitroarenes Sampled on TlGF Filters

The ambient concentrations of the nitrofluoranthenes and nitroshy

pyrenes measured for the six Citrus College POM samples are given in Table

VI-7 As we have observed previously (Pitts et al 1985c Ramdahl et al

1986 Arey et al 1987) 2-nitrofluoranthene was the most abundant

particle-associated nitroarene The GCMS-MID trace of the molecular ion

for the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (mz 247) from the August 20-

21 1986 2000-0800 PDT sample is shown in Figure VI-14 This sample

VII AMBIENT MUTAGENICITY

A Introduction

For the past several years the mutagenicity of ambient P0M has been

recognized as a characteristic of polluted urban atmospheres Further-

more although airborne particulate matter contains many carcinogenic PAH

its mutagenic activity does not resemble that of the PAH which require

mammalian metabolic activation (S9) as a requisite for expression of their

mutagenicity in the Ames Salmonella test Instead ambient P0M is

directly active ie expressing mutagenicity without the addition of

S9 and thus showing that other classes of organic chemicals which are

direct-acting mutagens are also present in ambient air

As an integral part of the CSMCS carried out at Citrus College

Glendora we measured the mutagenicity of collected 12-hour particulate

samples both with and without mammalian metabolic activation on

Salmonella strain TA98 Additionally we obtained mutagenicity data on

strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6

B Experimental

Sample Preparation for Mutagenicity Testing As noted in Section

II I POM samples were collected on a 12-hr basis throughout the study

period from 0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT The collected particulate

matter from two Hi-vols fitted with 10 microm cut-off inlets was weighed and

the filters Soxhlet extracted for 16-hr using a benzenemethanol (8020

azeotrope The solvent was removed under vacuum and the extracts were

taken to dryness under a stream of dry nitrogen Prior to mutagenicity

testing the sample extracts were stored in the dark at -75degC On the day

of the test each extract was taken up in DMS0 using a 20-minute

sonication and serial dilutions in DMS0 were made from this stock

solution

Tester Strains Ames Salmonella strain TA98 was used because of its

sensitivity to atmospheric particulate mutagens such as the nitroarenes

(Rosenkranz and Mermelstein 1983 and each particulate extract was tested

on this strain both in the presence and the absence of manmalian metabolic ( activation (S9 Each sample was also tested on strains TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6 in the absence of S9 as a possible indication of nitroarene

VII-1

mutagenicity TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 are isolates of TA98 which are

deficient in a nitroreductase Rosenkranz and Speck 1975 McCoy et al

1981 and a transacetylase enzyme (McCoy et al 1983 Orr et al 1985

Saito et al 1985 respectively The deficiency or these enzymes which

are required in the activation of many nitroarenes to penultimate

mutagens renders these strains less sensitive than TA98 to many mutagenic

nitroarenes Thus when a complex mixture exhibits less activity on

TA98NR or TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 it may be an indication of the

contribution of ni troarenes to the mutagenic activity of that sample

Table VII-1 shows the response of TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to

TA98 for several mutagenic atmospheric nitroarenes

The strains were cultured in 40 mL of L-broth for 12 hours at 37degC

with shaking The culture density was estimated by its absorbance at 550

nm and each strain was diluted with fresh medium to an absorbance

previously calculated to yield the standard culture density of 109 colony

forming units per mL (approximately 028 absorbance units) After

dilution the cultures were maintained in an ice bath for the duration of

the test The titer of each culture was determined by dilution and

plating on histidine-supplemented medium E The standard genotypic

markers which were routinely checked were crystal violet sensitivity UV

sensitivity and ampicillin resistance Three standard positive-control

mutagens were tested on each strain 1) 2-nitrofluorene a positive

control mutagen which we have used for the past ten years to check the

response of TA98 was also used to check the reduced response of TA98NR

relative to TA98 2 18-dinitropyrene was used to check the reduced

response of TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 and TA98NR for nitroarenes

which require the Salmonella transacetylase for activation and 3)

quercetin was used to check the equivalent response of these strains to

non-nitroarene mutagens Additionally benzo(apyrene was tested on

TA98(+S9) to check the response of this strain to indirect mutagens

Our testing protocol consistently results in somewhat higher

mutagenicities than other laboratories which we attribute primarily to

the use of L-broth instead of Oxoid broth to culture the tester strains

L-broth has about twice the amount of histidine as does Oxoid and its use

results in larger amounts of histidine on the test plate Because it is

the limiting growth factor a higher amount of histidine results in a

higher number of cells on the test plate and hence a higher number of

revertants (Maron and Ames 1983) The use of L-broth also results in a

somewhat denser background lawn of unreverted Salmonella but colony

morphology and visibility are unaffected

S9 Mix Arochlor 1254-induced rat liver S9 was prepared by Litton

Bionetics Inc according to the method of Ames et al (1975) and containshy

ed 26 mg mL- 1 protein (manufacturers analysis) NADP was purchased from

Boehringer Mannheim and glucose-6-phosphate was purchased from Sigma

Chemical Company

The S9 mix was prepared by the standard protocol (Ames et al 1975

Maron and Ames 1983) with 001 ml S9 per plate c2i vv mix) This S9

concentration was chosen since we have previously found a 2i vv mix to be

optimal in activating ambient particulate extracts collected in southern

California Frequently the use of S9 in testing ambient POM results in a

net decrease in activity as deactivation of direct mutagens overrides the

presumed activation of indirect mutagens such as the PAH Many

nitroarenes are also subject to this S9 suppression of activity

VI-3

Testing Protocol The standard Ames Salmonella plate incorporation

mutagenicity test was performed according to the method of Ames and coshy

workers (Ames et al 1975 Maron and Ames 1983) with some modifications to

improve its accuracy and precision (Belser et al 1981) Because of the

large number of plates required for the complete set of samples the

extracts were assayed in two tests 1) TA98 with and without S9 and 2)

TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 without S9 By dividing the tests by strain the

variation in response within one sample set was minimized Each extract

was tested in triplicate at eight doses chosen to logarithmically span the

region of linear response observed in the past for ambient P0M In

anticipation of lower activities on TA98NR and TA981 8-DNP6 the doses

chosen for these strains were twice as great as those for TA98 Hence

each sample was tested at 3 6 11 21 38 70 135 and 250 microg plate- 1 on

TA98 and at 6 12 22 42 76 140 270 and 500 microg plate-1 on TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6

Each test was performed in a single afternoon by means of a procedure

designed to improve intraday precision Belser et al 1981) Darkroom

conditions were employed throughout to prevent any photodecomposi tion of

the samples which might occur under laboratory fluorescent 1 ights The

plates were incubated at 37degC for 63 hours and counted with a Biotran

automatic colony counter (New Brunswick Scientific) directly interfaced to

a microcomputer ( Apple II) The extract potencies or specific activishy

ties were obtained by 1 inear regression analysis of the dose-response

data in the region of linear response The slope of the dose-response 1curve is the specific activity in revertants microg- The ratios of the

specific activities on strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98

were then calculated

From the specific activities the extract weights and the weights of

the particulate matter collected the potencies of the particulate matter

or mutagen loadings in revertants per mg of particulate matter collected

were calculated Finally from the specific activities the extract

weights and the volumes of sampled air the airborne mutagenicity conshy

centrations or mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of sampled air

were calculated

in Tables VII-2 to VII-5 The concurrent General Motors Laboratories

mutagen density data (J Siak T L Chan and G T Wolff private

connnunication) are included in Table VII-5 for comparison As we have

observed before in southern California the sampled POM was principally

directly active the average direct activity (TA98 -S9 was 345 rev m-3

as compared to 332 rev m-3 with metabolic activation TA98 +S9 Figure

VII-1 shows the mutagen density with and without S9 observed during this

study The values are intermediate in the range of mutagen densities we

have observed before in southern California and followed a general trend

towards higher values at the end of the study Figure VII-2 shows the

TA98 +S9 to TA98 -S9) ratio together with the TA98 (-S9) mutagen

density which are anticorrelated Thus sampling periods with higher

direct mutagenicity tended to be those which exhibited less promutagenshy

icity and greater direct activity This observation is consistent in a

qualitative manner with the presence in ambient POM of nitroarenes

The final nighttime sampling period during this study 820-2186

2000-0800 PDT) was unusual because of the high levels of volatile and nonshy

volatile nitroarenes present in the atmosphere For example the 2-nitroshy

fluoranthene concentration was a factor of ~5 greater than on the previous

day and the 1-nitronaphthalene concentration increased by over a factor of

two Concurrent observations of the presence of the nitrate radical

indicated that chemistry could have been occurring on this nightN2o5 Our measured mutagen density however declined by a factor of two

inconsistent with these other observations Moreover in contrast to our

results researchers at General Motors Laboratories using CH2c12 as an

extraction solvent observed a significant increase in mutagenicity (TA98

-S9) from the daytime 82086 0800-2000 PDT) sample to the nighttime

(820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) sample in their tests Since we had used a

benzene-methanol azeotrope as the extraction solvent system we decided to

retest the POM collected during these final two sampling periods using

dichloromethane as the extraction solvent

For this second mutagenicity test using CH2c12-extraction POM

collected on TGF filters in Hi-vol samplers modified to allow PUF plugs

to be placed downstream from the filters was employed These modified Hishy

vol samplers were operated at a flow rate or 23 SCFM instead of the

conventional 40 SCFM) to ensure that the flow controller remained

operative One filter from the daytime (82086 0800-2000 PDT) and one

filter from the nighttime 820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) collection period

were Soxhlet extracted for 16 hours with CH2c12 and tested on TA98 -S9)

The results or this collection and mutagenicity test are given in

Table VII-6 together with the data for our previous test of the benzene-methanol extracts As can be seen from the TSP data the modified

samplers collected more particulate matter than the standard Hi-vol as

expected since these Hi-vols were not equipped with a size-selective

inlet This was not expected to have greatly affected the mutagenicity

results however because very little mutagenicity is present on particles

larger than -10 micro

The more polar benzene-methanol solvent system extracted much more

material than did CH2c12 bull Despite the larger amount of polar material

present in the benzene-methanol samples the mutagen density for the

nighttime sample is three-fold lower than for the corresponding CH2c12-

extracted sample In contrast the mutagen density for the benzeneshy

methanol daytime sample is somewhat higher than for the corresponding

CH2c12-extracted sample Apparently the polar material in the benzeneshy

methanol extract of the nighttime sample inhibited the mutagenicity of

this extract probably through toxic or bacteriostatic action In

contrast the mutagenici ty of the polar compounds in the daytime sample

overcame any inhibitory effect

These observations illustrate the inherent compromises in choosing a

solvent system for extracting ambient POM The benzene-methanol solvent

system was chosen precisely because it extracts more polar material than

does CH2c12 and does not generate the artifactual mutagenicity associated

with the use of acetonitrile Indeed because inhibitory compounds may be

of the same polarity as mutagens every solvent system must result in an

underestimation of the mutagenicity of ambient POM This underscores the

need for identification and quantification of ambient mutagens Once

identified and tested for mutagenicity in their pure form the known

mutagens in a sample can be quantified and an accurate sum of their

mutagenicities can be obtained

VIII CONCLUSIONS

The objectives of SAPRCs involvement in the ARB-funded CSMCS study

held at Citrus College Glendora CA during the period August 12-21

1986 were met Using long pathlength differential optical absorption and

Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopic techniques the

ambient concentrations of N02 HONO HCHO HN03 NH3 and the N03 radical

were monitored in an essentially continuous mode throughout this study

period Since these data were obtained using absolute in-situ spectroshy

scopic methods they have served as benchmark data for the evaluation of

other more portable measurement methods for the determination of HCHO

and HN03 concentrations during the SCAQS carried out in 1987

Based upon the experimental methods used and ambient air concentshy

ration data obtained in our recent study at El Camino Conmtunity College

Torrance we were able to employ a complementary set of sampling techshy

niques to provide a comprehensive data set concerning the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of both volatile and non-volatile PAH and nitroshy

arenes during this study at Citrus College Ambient atmospheric concenshy

tration data were obtained for the following PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-

methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene

phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)shy

anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene and the following

nitroarenes 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3- and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene The ambient concentrations of

the PAH cover a very large range (gt1000) with the most volatile PAH naphshy

thalene being the most abundant Indeed the naphthalene concentration

exceeded 1 ppb during the 12-hr nighttime period 2000-0800 PDT on August

20-21 and averaged 0 7 ppb (3700 ng m-3) over the entire study period

The next most abundant PAH were the 1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes with 2-

methylnaphthalene being about twice as abundant as 1-methylnaphthalene

The ambient concentrations of the PAH exhibited diurnal variations

with the concentrations generally being higher during the nighttime

sampling periods than during the daytime periods This diurnal variation

can most readily be seen for the volatile PAH which were sampled onto the

high and low flow Tenax cartridges and for which individual 12-hr analyses

were carried out This diurnal variation could in general be due to

VIII-1

differing daynight emission rates meteorology (with lower inversion

heights and hence higher concentrations during the nighttime periods

andor differing atmospheric removal rates due to chemical reactions The

observation (Table VI-1 that the magnitude of the diurnal variation

depended on the specific PAH with the largest variations being for the

most chemically reactive PAH indicates that part of this variation was

due to chemical removal of the PAH during daytime hours

The 2-3 ring PAH monitored using the Tenax cartridge system all react

with the OH radical during daylight hours (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and

Aschmann 1987b) with expected lifetimes due to this OH radical reaction

of approximately 3 days for biphenyl and fluorene and 2-12 hrs for the

other PAH The PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene acenaphthene

acenaphthylene and phenanthrene also react to a lesser extent with N2o5bull

In addition acenaphthene and acenaphthylene also react with N03 radicals

(Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) bull These andor radical removalN2o5 N03 processes were likely to be of minor significance during this study since

the N03 radical (and hence N2o5) concentrations were low In addition

acenaphthylene reacts with Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) with thiso3 removal process again being most important during daytime Interestingly

the ratio (average nighttime concentrationaverage daytime concentration)

correlates well with the OH radical reaction rate constant (which varies

from 7 x 10-12 cm3 molecule- 1 s-1 for biphenyl to 1 1 x 10-10 cm3 moleshy1cule-1 s- for acenaphthylene (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and Aschmann

1987b) as shown by the plot in Figure VIII-1 This good correlation

confirms our expectation that daytime reaction with the OH radical is an

important atmospheric removal process for the PAH present in the gas

phase

The nitroarenes also exhibit a diurnal concentration profile as

shown in Figure VIII-2 which gives our earlier data from Torrance CA

(Winer et al 1987) as well as from Citrus College Again this observed

diurnal variation in the nitroarene concentrations can be due to differing

emission rates differing formation rates from their parent PAH during

transport through the atmosphere meteorology or differing removal rates

during daytime and nighttime periods Our data for the PAH (Figure VIII-1)

show that meteorology at Citrus College had a relatively minor effect of

the order of 20J (estimated from the intercept representing no OH radical

( reaction) on the daynight concentration ratio Further it is expected

(Atkinson et al 1987) that the atmospheric OH radical reactions of the

nitroarenes will be relatively slow Hence since 3-nitrobiphenyl is not

expected to be emitted and the daytimenighttime emission rates of the

nitronaphthalenes are not likely to vary significantly the observed difshy

ferences in the daynight concentration profiles for 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl strongly suggest differing formation rates

In particular our observation that the daytime concentrations of 3-nitroshy

biphenyl are always higher than the nighttime concentration ( in total

contrast to the situation for the PAH) shows that 3-nitrobiphenyl must be

made in the atmosphere during daytime hours Indeed we have shown from

laboratory studies (Atkinson et al 1987) that the daytime OH radical

reaction with biphenyl (the only significant atmospheric chemical removal

process for biphenyl) forms 3-nitrobiphenyl in approximately 5j yield

1- and 2-Nitronaphthalene are also formed from the reaction of OH radicals

with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) but these nitroarenes can also be

formed from the nighttime reaction of naphthalene with N2o5 (Atkinson et

al 1987)

In our previous study in Torrance CA (Winer et al 1987) N03 radicals were not present during nighttime hours and hence the N2o5 forshy

mation route to the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes was not operative and the

daytime concentrations of the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes and 3-nitroshy

biphenyl were higher than during the nighttime as expected from a daytime

formation pathway via OH radical reaction from their parent PAH In

contrast at Citrus College N03 radicals were observed on several

evenings and both daytime and nighttime formation of 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene was hence possible (note that 3-nitrobiphenyl could only be formed

during the daytime) Indeed while the daytime 3-nitrobiphenyl concenshy

trations were higher than the nighttime concentrations the 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene concentrations were as high or higher during the

nights Even more interesting is the observation that during daytime the

1- and 2-nitronaphthalene concentrations were comparable consistent with

the similar formation yields from the daytime OH radical-initiated reacshy

tions with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) During nighttime however

the 1-nitronaphthalene concentrations were significantly higher than the

2-nitronaphthalene concentrations consistent with nighttime formation

from N2o5 reaction with naphthalene for which the 1- and 2-nitronaphthashy

lene yields are 15J and 7J respectively (Atkinson et al 1987

The ambient nitroarene concentrations also vary widely from compound

to compound and as with the PAH the most volatile nitroarenes are again

the most abundant Indeed as shown in Table VIII-1 the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl

(measured at both Torrance (Winer et al 1987) and Citrus College are

comparable to the ambient concentrations of fluoranthene and (not shown)

pyrene and are generally an order of magnitude higher than the concenshy

trations of 2-nitrofluoranthene the most abundant particle-associated

nitroarene

As noted in previous sections of this report the PAH themselves are

not directly mutagenic in the Ames assay without microsomal activation

The ambient atmospheric concentrations of the particle-associated nitroshy

arenes (which are direct-acting mutagens when combined with their

mutagenic activities (Table VII-1) allow the ambient mutagenic densities

resulting from the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (by far the most

abundant particle-associated nitroarenes to be calculated Table Vlll-2

8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene for the six time-periods for

nitropyrenes ranged from approximately 1-9 rev m-3_ 2-Nitrofluoranthene

buted by the nitroarenes of molecular weight 247

These calculated nitrofluoranthene and nitropyrene mutagen densities

account for typically 10J of the measured ambient mutagenicity It is

difficult to cite a definite numerical contribution of the nitrofluorshy

anthenes and nitropyrenes to ambient mutagenicity due to potential

problems in the Ames assay as discussed in Section VII above This 10J

figure for the contribution of the particle-associated nitroarenes to

ambient mutagenicity is consistent with the values given by Arey et al

(1988) and shows that the majority ie typically 90j of the mutagenishy

city of ambient POM is presently unaccounted for Ihis as yet unaccountshy

ed for direct-acting mutagenicity could be associated with other PAH-

VIII-6

( derivatives formed in the atmosphere during transport from source to

receptor or from other classes of organics Further work to attempt to

determine the identity of these other mutagens and their sources (direct

emissions versus atmospheric formation) is clearly necessary

In the Carbonaceous Soecies Mthoos Catparison Study in August 1986 at Citrus COllege Glendora CA the ambient concentrations of N~ HONO and HCHO were measured by long pathlength a1rrerent1a1 optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) Ambient concentrations of HNO]t NH3 and HCHO were measured by long patblength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy Signiticant concentrations of these pollutants were observed with mixing rat1s ot up to approximately 140 45 30~ 20 and 15 parts-per-billion (ppb) for N02 HONO ~bull HCHO and NH3 respectively being determined

In addition allbient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr nightshytime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF) plugs and Teflon-impregshynated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples 1were analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associat~d polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and nitroarenes The mutagen densities obtained were consistent with those measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin The following PAH and nitroarenes were observed and quantified naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz ( a )anthracene chrysenetriphenylene benzo(a)pyrene 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3-and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene

I bull PROJECT SUMMARY

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides of nitrogen precursors are complex and

it is necessary to have measurements of the reactant and product species

in as detailed a manner as possible in order to provide a data base

suitable for input into airshed computer models These organic compounds

may be distributed between the gas and particle phases and hence measureshy

ments of their concentrations in both phases must be carried out In

order to allow for a methods development and methods intercomparison prior

to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California

Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two methods intercomparison studies one

in 1985 at Claremont concerning the measurement of nitrogenous species

and a second at Citrus College GleQdora during August of 1986 dealing

principally with the intercomparison of measurement methods for organic

and carbonaceous species

In the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study (CSMCS) at

Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center

(SAPRC) carried out the measurement of several inorganic and organic

species Specifically the following measurements were made

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS) we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02) nitrous acid (HONO) and

formaldehyde (HCHO

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption specshy

troscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) ammonia (NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF)

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbons PAH) and nitroarenes

The DOAS and FT-IR systems utilized 25 m base-path multiple-reflecshy

tion optical systems aligned parallel to one another with the optical

beams being -24 m above the ground surface An extensive data set for

the gas-phase concentrations of N02 HONO HN03 HCHO (by both DOAS and

FT-IR spectroscopy NH3 and the N03 radical was obtained during this

study period The complete data set is tabulated in detail in Sections IV

1-1

and V of this report and Figures I-1 and I-2 show the HCHO HN03 and NH3 time-concentration profiles obtained by FT-IR spectroscopy (Figure I-1)

and the HONO time-concentration profile as monitored by DOAS (Figure I-2)

respectively These two figures and the data presented in Sections IV and

V show that significant concentrations of these pollutants were present

during this sampling period with ambient concentrations of up to

approximately 140 45 30 20 and 15 ppb for N02 BONO HN03 HCHO and

w3 respectively A definitiVe measurement of the presence of No3 radicals was made only on one night during this study (due to the

detection limit for this species) with a peak N03 radical concentration

of 70 ppt being measured on the night of August 13 The presence of N03 radicals at levels lt40 ppt was observed on the evenings of August 13 19

and 20

Ambient particulate organic matter (POM) was collected on a 12-hr

daytime and nighttime sampling period (0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT) and

was tested for mutagenicity towards Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98

with and without added S9) TA98NR (-S9) and TA9818-DNP6 (-S9) The

measured mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of air sampled are given

in Table I-1 These mutagen densities are consistent with those we have

measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin As also observed

previously the mutagen densities and mutagenic activity of the POM

measured in the presence and absence of S9 are essentially indistinguishshy

able with average mutagen densities (strain TA98) of 33 and 35 rev bull-3 with and without S9 respectively

Ambient air was also sampled on filters and solid adsorbents in order

to collect the gas- and particle associated PAH and PAH-derivatives for

combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis Three collection

systems were used to sample ambient air low and high-flow ( 1 and 10 L

min- 1 respectively) cartridges packed with Tenax-GC solid adsorbent to

sample the volatile PAH such as naphthalene and the methylnaphthalenes

Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters backed up by polyurethane

foam (PUF plugs to sample the semi-volatile PAH and nitroarenes present

either in the gas phase or blown-off the filters during the collection

period and TIGF filters for the collection of POM containing the higher

seven locations in California at which sampling was to be conducted to

obtain data concerning the ambient levels of mutagenicity and of PAH

(including PAH derivatives such as the nitro-PAH) to which populations

were exposed The Glendora site was chosen as the site impacted by

vehicle emissions The mutagenicity data and the concentrations of the

PAH and PAH-derivatives observed at this site are hence an integral part

of our ongoing study A Survey of Ambient Concentrations of Selected

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) at Various Locations in California

11 INTRODUCTION

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides or nitrogen precursors are exceedingly

complex and in order to provide a data base suitable for input into

airshed computer models it is necessary to have measurenents of the reacshytant and product species in as detailed a manner as possible Since these

organic compounds may be distributed between the gas anltI particle phases

measurements of both the gas- and particle-phase concentrations of organic

chemicals must be carried out In order to allow for a methods developshy

ment and methods intercomparison prior to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two

methods intercomparison studies one in 1985 at Clarsont concerning the

measurement of nitrogenous species and a second at Citrus College

Glendora during August of 1986 dealing principally with the intercomparishy

son or measurement methods for organic and carbonaceous species

In this Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study at Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Researcplusmn Center (SAPRC) was

involved in the measurement of a number of inorganic and organic species

Specifically we measured the atmospheric concentrations of the following compounds

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02 nitrous acid (HONO) and formaldehyde (HCHO)

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) anmonia NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyllethane foam PUF

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber TIGF filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbOns (PAH) and nitroarenes

Furthermore the measurements of the ambient atmspheric concentrashy

tions of PAH and PAH-derivatives at Citrus College formed one part of a

further ambient measurement study funded by the ARB Contract No AS-185-

32 dealing with the ambient concentrations of PAH ant PAR-derivatives at

11-1

seven sites throughout California impacted by differing combustion

emission sources The Citrus College site served as the vehicle emissionshyimpacted site for this study

The description or the site at Citrus College Glendora and the

experimental procedures and data obtained from these measurement methods are detailed in the following sections

111 DESCRIPTION OF SITE

As noted earlier this monitoring program was conducted in conshy

junction with the ARB-funded carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison

Study As shown in Figure 111-1 the ARB selected a site adjacent to the

football stadium on the campus of Citrus College for this study The

orientation and relationship of the long pathlength n-IR and OOAS systems

to other investigators is shown in Figure 111-2 The SAPRC high-volume

(Hi-vol) samplers were located Just north of the mobile vans and trailers

of other investigators The optical spectrometers were elevated on

concrete blocks to achieve a 24 m (8 ft) height for the optical beams in

order to minimize the influences or dry deposition of nitric acid and

other nitrogenous species This requirement necessitated a major

restructuring or the FT~IR and DOAS instrument supports In order to

augment the 12 m 4 ft height initially designed into the optical axes

or both of the long pathlength mirror assemblies while at the same time

preventing extraneous vibrations the spectrometers mirror systems and

their housings wereset on massive concrete blocks

Six 4 ft x 4 ft x 10 ft concrete structures were rented from the

Pyramid Precast company which provided the necessary machinery to

position the blocks on premarked areas at the study site Three of these

blocks constituted the support platform for the FT-IR and DOAS assemblies

at each end of the optical path (see Figure 111-2) New 9 ft x 12 ft

sheds were procured and constructed on these platforms during the last

week of August and the first week of September Subsequent assembly and

testing of the spectrometers and optical systems was completed in time for

the scheduled start of the field study on September 11 1985

As shown in Figure 111-2 the two SAPRC 25 m basepath optical systems

were set up parallel to each other and to the scaffolding which supported

most of the samplers from other groups participating in the intercomparishy

son study The optical systems were aligned in a north-south orientation

to minimize scattered light problems at sunrise and sunset and positioned

due west of the scaffolding and various mobile vans and trailers f The study period began at 0800 PDT on Tuesday August 12 and conshy

tinued until 0800 PDT on August 21 The FT-IR and DOAS systems operated

essentially continuously during this period with FT-IR spectra being

IV MEASUREMENTS OF HONO H()2 NO~ RADICALS AND HCHO BY DIFFERENTIAL OPTICAL ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

A Introduction

The development of a long pathlength OOAS system by Perner and Platt

1979) and its application and extension by these workers and by SAPRC

researchers Platt et al 1980ab 1981 1982 1984 Harris et al 1982

Pitts et al 1984ab 1985a) has provided a technique capable of sensishy

tive specific and time-resolved measurements of the ambient concentrashy

tions of a number of important atmospheric species including nitrous

acid formaldehyde the nitrate radical and nitrogen dioxide

In this section we briefly describe the design and operation of the

25 m basepath DOAS system employed to measure ambient levels of N03 radicals HONO N02 and HCHO during the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study and the results obtained during this measurement

period A more detailed description of the experimental system is provided in an earlier report to the ARB (Winer et al 1987)

B Experimental Methods

The 25 m basepath optical system (Figure IV-1) was of the threeshy

mirror White design but with an added corner reflector at the in-focus

end which effectively doubled its maximum pathlength capability The

mirrors were fabricated from 30 cm dia x 5 cm thick Pyrex blanks and

coated with a custom dielectric coating for optimum reflectivity in the spectral regions of interest

The DOAS system measures the ambient concentrations of trace

components which have distinct vibronic structures by their light

absorption in the near-ultraviolet (uv) and visible spectral regions

White light from a 75 W high pressure Xenon lamp was imaged by a spherical

mirror into the plane of the nesting (in-focus) mirror of the White cell

and then propagated through the multiple reflection optics until it

emerged from the system and was imaged onto the entrance slit of the

monochromator SPEX 1870 05 m) The light intensity was monitored by a

photomultiplier EMI 9659Q) and the signal acquired and averaged by a DEC

MINC 1123 minicomputer

With the DOAS a rotating slotted disk was used to allow rapid

scanning The slotted disk was formed by etching a set of exit slits (100

microm wide 10 m spacing) radially into a thin metal disk This disk was

rotated in the focal plane of the dispersed spectrua As each slit moved across the opening between the masks that block the two adjacent slits it

scanned a spectral range of -30-60 nm depending on the rotation frequency

of the slotted disk The orientation of the spectrometer grating

determined which specific spectral region was scanned As employed in its

final form in this program the slotted disk rotated at -4 Hz resulting in

a scan rate of -100 Hz well above the frequency distribution of

atmospheric turbulence (which otherwise would introduce unwanted structure

into the spectra)

As a slit became visible at the edge of the mask it was detected by

an infrared photodiode A trigger signal was sent to the computer which

continuously recorded digitized samples of the light intensity as the slit

scanned across the spectrum Since several tens of thousand such scans

were acquired and added in the computer memory within a few minutes this

improved the signal-to-noise ratio of the resulting spectrum The

rotational speed of the slotted disk was maintained constant to within

101j to preserve the spectral resolution while superimposing the scans

The computer was also used for spectral deconvolution and for the

calculation of optical densities

Since a single scan required only -10 msec atmospheric scintillation

effects had little effect on the signal Moreover since typically (2-8)

x 104 individual scans were recorded and signal-averaged over each several

minute measurement period even complete but momentary interruption of

the light beam had no appreciable effect on the final spectrum Except

under the haziest conditions stray light effects were negligible due to

the instruments narrow field of view -8 x 10-5 steradians] and in any

case stray light could be taken into account by means of appropriate

background spectra

The concentrations of atmospheric species were derived from Beers

Law However since the light intensity in the absence of any absorption

(1 0 ) cannot be obtained with this technique the differential optical

density was employed and thus only those compounds which have structured

absorption spectra could be measured Table IV-1 gives the characteristic

IV-3

absorption bands and detection limits for a number of atmospheric species

of interest based on a km pathlength It can be seen that the

detection limits range from 3 ppb for HCHO down to -10 ppt for the N03 radical For automatic scanning of spectra 32 or 40 reflections (corresshy

ponding to pathlengths of 800 and 1000 m respectively) were generally

employed and the corresponding detection limits for quantitative analyses

were then 06-07 ppb for HONO and 13-16 ppt for N03 radicals

C Results and Discussion

The SAPRC 25 m basepath DOAS system was set up at the Glendora site

in the specific orientation relative to other experiments conducted

during this field study as described in Section III

Essentially continuous DOAS measurements were conducted from August

13 until the morning of August 21 1986 Maximum ozone levels and peak

concentrations of N03 radicals during this study are sUD1Darized in Table

IV-2 Individual concentrations of HONO HCHO and N02 observed during

this period are given in tabular form in Appendix B and hourly average

data for these species are given in Tables IV-3 to IV-5 For the

majority of the time the pathlength was set to 800 m with a detection

limit equivalent to an optical density of 3 x o-14 bull The data reduction

process was more automated than previously and thus the detection limit was raised from 2 x 10-4 to 3 x 10-4 OD to offset the tendency of the

software to interpret noise at the detection limit as a peak The

corresponding detection limits were N02 35 ppb HOHO 08 ppb and

HCHO 45 ppb

Because the HONO and HCHO bands are overlapped by N02 bands and N02 is more abundant in the Los Angeles basin the DOAS spectra must be first

analyzed for N02 to enable its features to be quantitatively removed prior

to determining HONO and HCHO concentrations Figure IV-2 shows the timeshy

concentration profile for N02 from 0000 PDT on August 13 to 0800 PDT on

August 21 The solid line shows the DOAS data while the dashed line

shows measurements made by our chemiluminescence oxides of nitrogen

analyzer The two curves track each other very well during the nighttime

and early morning hours In the afternoon the NOx analyzer consistently

read 10 to 30 ppb higher since the DOAS values at those times were as low

as 15-25 ppb this caused a discrepancy of a factor of two or more The

higher values measured by the chemiluminescence method are attributed to

the known interferences of HN03 and PAN in this detection method

consistent with the levels or HN03 and PAN in the afternoon periods being

approximately equivalent to this difference in the DOAS N02 and chemilshy

uminescence N0x-H0 readings

After the quantitative removal of the N02 features from the OOAS

spectra the data reduction procedure utilized a simultaneous leastshy

squares fit or HON0 and HCHO reference spectra to the residual ambient air

spectra Figure IV-3 shows the time concentration profile for HCHO as

determined by DOAS (solid line) For comparison the FT-IR data from

Section V are shown as the dashed line The agreement between the two

methods is very good with the discrepancies being within the error

limits However it appears that the OOAS results for the first four

nights are consistently higher than the FT-IR data by about 1-3 ppb This

could be due to an overestimation of HCH0 absorption features in the OOAS

spectra since the reported FT-IR HCH0 levels were at or below the DOAS

detection limit of 45 ppb (where the signal-to-noise ratio was near

unity)

Finally the H0N0 time-concentration profile for August 13-21 is

presented in Figure IV-4 No comparison data are available for HON0 for

this study However as discussed above the only source of a large

systematic error would be the literature value for the HON0 absorption

cross-sections used in the calculations During the Citrus College field

study nighttime HON0 levels were higher than observed in the 1985

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study at Claremont where the maximum

HON0 concentrations were in the range 15 to 25 ppb For five of the

nights at Citrus College the HON0 concentrations were also in the same

range However for three nights H0N0 levels attained -35 ppb and

during the last night of the study H0N0 reached a maximum of Jamp5 ppb

There was however no correlation of the HON0 concentrations to the

nighttime N02 levels which were relatively constant at 60-75 ppb Since

the heterogeneous formation of H0N0 from N02 involves moisture correlashy

tions to other parameters such as relative humidity and particulate

loading may prove interesting

V LONG PATHLENGTH FT-IR MEASUREMENTS OF HN03 NH3 AND HCHO

A Introduction

As discussed elsewhere in more detail (Winer et al 1987) the long

pathlength FT-IR system was employed to provide benchmark data for the

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study held at Pomona College

(Claremont) in September 1985 Following this the FT-IR spectrometer

participated in our winter field study at El Camino CoDJDUnity College

(Torrance) Due to a need for a more detailed comparison of HN03 measurements by the FT-IR and tunable diode laser spectroscopic (TDLS)

methods than had been possible during the 1985 Claremont study the

longpath FT-IR system was subsequently set up in Glendora on the Citrus

College campus for more intensive measurements of HN03 and NH3 between

August 12-21 1986 In this study species coverage by the FT-IR method

was extended to include the measurement of formaldehyde (HCH0) Attempts

were also made to detect N2o5 in ambient air by thorough examination of

the spectra recorded in the late afternoon and evening hours Alllllonia

(NH3) was included among middot the species measured since in certain

localities it can profoundly affect the concentration of gaseous HN03 by

its reaction to form aerosol anmonium nitrate (Doyle et al 1979 Tuazon

et al 1980)

B Experimental

1 Kilometer Pathlength FT-IR System

Measurements of ambient air pollutants by infrared spectroscopy

were carried out using a recently constructed 25-m basepath open

multiple-reflection optical system interfaced to a Mattson Instruments

Inc Sirius 100 FT-IR spectrometer This spectr0111eter has a maximum

resolution capability of 0125 cm-1 and is equipped with a Motorola 68000-

based data system The long pathlength optics are of the three-mirror

White design (White 1942) with provisions for adding a corner reflector

at the in-focus end (Horn and Pimentel 1971) when desired to effectively

double the systems pathlength The mirrors in this new optical system

were fabricated from 30 cm diameter 6 cm thick Pyrex blanks and goldshy

coated for the best reflectivity (~99J) in the infrared The optimum

pathlength for monitoring was determined to be in the 1-1 5 km range

V-1

during routine operation although short-term use or optical patha greater

than 2 km were possible

As discussed in Section Ill the long pathlengtb FT-IR spectrometer

was operated alongside the long pathlength DOAS systell as shown in Figure

V-1 The optical layout of the FT-IR system is preaented in more detail

in Figure V-2 The sets or mirrors of the two spectrometers were arrayed

in opposite directions but aligned side by side in a compact arrangement

which made possible simultaneous analyses of virtually the same air

mass The FT-IR spectrometer was housed in an air conditioned shed while

the multiple reflection mirror assembly outside was shaded from direct

sunlight by protective shields While the spectrometer system had an

initial height of 1 2 m (above ground level) designed into the optical

axis this was raised to a total of 24 m (8 ft) the C0111110n sampling

height required for all analytical techniques being compared during this

field study Massive concrete blocks were employed as support structures

to attain this sampling height

2 Acquisition of Spectra

Spectra were recorded at a pathlength of 1150 meters and 0125 1cm- resolution unapodized) Sixty-four scans interferograms) were

added during a 45-min period and then transformed (calculation time of

-25 min) to a single beam spectrum Each spectrUII of 128 K points was 1truncated and the spectral region from 400 to 3000 cm- which contained

the absorption bands of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 used for analysis was retained

and archived

Four to five spectra per hour were collected This rate or data

collection permitted a real-time examination of the quality of spectra

being recorded and such checks were consistently made during daytime and

early evening hours 0800-2200 PDT) During the noncritical period of

2200-0600 hours when nitric acid was expected to be below the detection

limit the FT-IR spectrometer was programed to conduct automatic

monitoring

expanded plot or the HN03 spectrum in the range 870-910 cm- 1 is presented

in Figure V-11 to which is added a middotqualitative single beam spectrum or 1clean ambient air at a pathlength of 1150 m The Q-branch at 896 1 cm-

was the most appropriate one for quantitative measureaent because or its

favorable half-width and minimal interference by ataaspheric water vapor

We restricted our measurements to the heights of the sharp absorption (Qshy

branch) features only since measurements which include the broad undershy

lying envelope were more susceptible to unknown interferences The 8854 1cm- Q-branch was totally free of interferences but its relatively

narrower line shape was more susceptible to distortion by noise while the 1strongest Q-branch at 8789 cm- was severely overlapped by a strong water

line

Of the numerous sharp features of the NH3 spectna depicted in Figure

V-3 the lines at 11034 and 8679 cm-1 though not the strongest suffer

the least interference by H2o and CO2 absorption lines and were therefore

the ones chosen for analysis The line positions of NH3 relative to those

of atmospheric H20 (and CO2) in the 1080-1120 cm-1 region are shown in

Figure V-5 The calibration procedure for trn3 was straightforward

Spectra were recorded at O 125 cm- 1 resolution for several NH3 pressures

in the range 02-1 torr which were measured to within 10005 torr

accuracy with an MKS Baratron capacitance manometer The NH3 samples were

transferred to a 25-cm cell with KBr windows and pressurized with N2 gas

to atmospheric pressure No measurable decay of IH3 concentration was

observed within the 15-minute period during which repeat spectra were

recorded for each sample These data yielded absorptivities (base 10) at

23degC and 740 torr total pressure of 182 cm-1 atm-1 for the 11034 cm-1

peak and 97 cm-1 atm- 1 for the 8679 cm- 1 peak with uncertainties of t5J

(two standard deviations for both values

A similar calibration procedure was not possible for HN03 because of

its significant decay to the walls of the 25-cm cell We determined our

high resolution absorptivity values relative to the data of Graham and

Johnston (1978) who made an accurate determination of the absorptivity of

the HN03 4 ( 1325 cm- 1 fundamental band at -2 cm-1 resolution using two

independent methods for generating HN03 ( for more details see also Graham

1975) We assigned Graham and Johnstons ( 1978 absorptivity value

feature in our 0125 cm- 1 resolution spectrum after S1100thing the latter

to -2 cm-1 resolution The absorptivity tor a Q-branch (eg 8961 cm- 1)

at O 125 cm-1 resolution was then determined from the intensity ratio of

the unsmoothed Q-branch to the smoothed P-branch

Smoothing removes the fine structure superimposed on the bandv4 envelope and in order to test the adequacy of tbe smoothing function

1employed measurements were carried out in which 2 cm-1 and 0125 cm-

resolution spectra were recorded alternately for an 11103 sample To take

into account the HN03 decay in the cell the 1315 cm-1 peak heights at 2

cm- 1 resolution were plotted against time as were those or the 0125 cm- 1

resolution spectra after having been smoothed to -2 m-1 resolution The

two curves were found to be indistinguishable indicating the accuracy or

the smoothing function applied The above procedure yielded a value of

52 plusmn 04 cm- 1 atm-1 for the absorptivity (base 10) of the HN03 peak at

896 1 cm- 1 (Q-branch height only) with the two standard deviation error

including that reported by Graham (1975) This value is in fact the same

as that we previously determined for this peak at 05 cm-1 resolution

(Tuazon et al 1980) Following the same method the absorptivity of the

8854 cm-1 Q-branch was found to be 61 plusmn 05 cm-1 ata- 1bull

The calibration procedure for HCHO was the sue as that for NH bull3Formaldehyde samples were pre-distilled from paraformaldehyde and

immediately used after collection in a liquid nitrogen cooled trap The

absorptivity value of the 2781 0 cm- 1 Q-branch an absorption peak well

isolated from H2o absorptions was determined to be 89 plusmn 05 cm- 1 atm-1

4 Treatment of Data

The quantitative analysis of species such as NH3 which possess

relatively narrow Q-branch features which are sufficiently resolved from

atmospheric H2o absorptions was normally straightforward The absorbance

(log 10 1 was derived directly from the single beaa spectrum and thus a

ratio plot against an actual background spectrum was not necessary Proshy

vided that the detector had a linear response 10

and I as determined from

a single beam spectrum had values on an arbitrary scale in which zero

corresponded to zero signal on the detector The appropriate differential

absorption coefficient such as those determined above and the absorption

pathlength had to be applied to the absorption intensity measured between

V-9

and I in order to convert to concentration units This procedure was10

followed for the 11034 and 8679 cm-1 lines of NH3 Estimates of the HN03 concentration could also be obtained from

single-beam spectra by employing the 8854 cmmiddot1 Q-branch However the

HN03 analysis was more reliably carried out using the 8961 cm-1 Q-branch

by ratioing the sample spectrum with a clean background spectrum a

procedure which improved the baseline and resulted in essentially complete

cancellation of a very weak H20 interference Background spectra were

chosen from those recorded at around midnight during low pollution days

since previous measurements (Spicer et al 1982) showed HN03 levels that

were much lower (lt1 ppb) than the FT-IR detection limit under these

conditions

The peak-to-peak noise level in the ratio spectrum was typically

00025 absorbance unit base 10) corresponding to a 250 1 signal to

peak-to-peak noise ratio for single spectral records The absorption

peaks used for the analyses were much wider than the frequency of random

noise such that peak heights as small as the noise level could be

detected above the noise itself Thus the detection sensitivities were

3-5 ppb for HN03 1-2 ppb for NH3 and 2-3 ppb for HCHO The lower

detection limit for each compound was realized when turbulence due to

temperature gradients andor wind were minimal for example during

nighttime hours)

The possible detection of N2o5 depended on how well its broad band

centered at 1246 cm- 1 ( 12) could be discerned from interfering H20

absorptions The H2o interferences were reduced by ratioing the sample

spectra against selected background spectra taken during those periods

(mid-morning to noon) when N2o5 was believed not to be present due to the

rapid photolysis of No3 radicals Although exact cancellation of the H2o absorptions was not possible the windows between these absorptions were

sufficient to define a baseline from which the presence of a broad absorpshy

tion contour could be distinguished From the literature value of 188

cm- 1 atmmiddot 1 for the absorptivity of the 1246 cm-1 peak (Graham 1975 Graham

and Johnston 1978) it was calculated that 5 ppb N2o5 at a pathlength of

1150 m would give a signal of -001 absorbance unit (base 10) approxishy

mately 4 times the peak-to-peak baseline noise of the ratio spectrum

V-10

The largest source of uncertainty in the analyses was the noise level

in the spectrum with other errors being generally negligible We

assigned to each peak height measurement the maxillum error which was

equal to the peak-to-peak noise level For HN03 this error was 4 ppb

The uncertainty arising from the error in the absorptivity (of the 8961

cm- 1 Q-branch in this case) increased with the concentration However

this contribution to the overall error limit was relatively small for the

range of HN03 concentrations encountered For example it increased the

t4 ppb error by only 10j when included in the error calculation for an

HN03 concentration of 25 ppb For NH concentrations i20 ppb the sum of uncertainties due to noise3

and error in the absorptivity of the 11034 cm-1 line was plusmn15 ppb At

higher concentrations the contribution from the absorptivity error became

relatively more important A detailed plot of this error contribution as

a function of concentration revealed that it is nearly linear in the

concentration range 20 to 100 ppb permitting the additional error to be

calculated from the empirical formula (0044( [NH3]-20) ppb Thus for the measurement of 60 ppb NH3 the total error can be calculated as [ 15 +

0 044 )( 60-20)] = plusmn33 ppb

For the range of HCH0 concentrations encountered in the 1986 Glendora

study the measurement errors were less than plusmn3 ppb

C Results and Discussion

As discussed in Section II our measurements were conducted in

conjunction with the CARB-sponsored Carbonaceous Species Methods

Comparison Study which occurred from 0800 PDT August 12 to 0800 PDT

August 21 1986 ln contrast with the low level of air pollution during

the 1985 Claremont summer field study this August 1986 measurement period

at Citrus College was characterized by moderately high levels of photoshy

chemical activity Except for the second day of measurements the maximum

hourly average o3 concentrations exceeded 200 ppb each day

The FT-IR spectra obtained were analyzed for the simultaneous concenshy

trations of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 The detailed instantaneous data are

presented in Table V-1 and are plotted in Figure V-6 The hourly average concentrations are presented in Tables V-2 to V-4 Except for periods of

power disruption on August 14 and the loss of most of the daytime data on

August 17 due to a fault in archiving the data onto agnetic tapes the

FT-IR system provided continuous coverage of HCHO and 1H3 concentrations

since they were always above the respective detection 11llits of -2-3 ppb

and -1-15 ppb HN~ was generally above the -3-Ji ppb detection

sensitivity between 0800 hr and 2000 hr each day throughout the study

period As for the 1985 Claremont and the 1986 Torrance studies N2o5 was

not observed above the estimated detection limit of 4 ppb

The FT-IR analysis of formaldehyde was easily carried out with the

use of single-beam spectra since the HCHO infrared spectrum has a Qshy

branch at 27810 cm-1 well isolated from other atmospheric absorptions

HCHO was included as one of the species to be measured by FT-IR (except

during the first day) because of the need for a standard against which

other HCHO methods employed at this study could be compared Our

contribution to this aspect of the carbonaceous species study was to

provide HCHO measurements by both DOAS and FT-IR spectroscopy either

method of which can serve as a benchmark standard l comparison or the

two sets of spectroscopic data for HCHO has been discussed in Section IV

and comparison with the results of the other HCHO methods is currently

being carried out by Dr Douglas Lawson of the CARB

The NH3 concentrations observed in Glendora (Table V-2) during the

first six days or the field study (September 12-17 were generally in the

range of 2-4 ppb These levels are similar to those aeasured during the

1985 Claremont study for the periods when there was no localized transport

of NH3 to the latter site from nearby agricultural sources NH3 levels

during the remaining days (August 18-21 were more variable and generally

about twice the above range of values (Figure V-6 he erratic pattern

found in the NH3 concentrations during these three days which is also

noticeable in the more well-defined HCHO and HN03 concentration profiles

(Figure V-6 could well be due to the prevailing wind conditions

The maximum instantaneous concentrations of HN~ attained 20 ppb or

higher during the eight days that the FT-IR measurements provided detailed

HN03 profiles (Figure V-6) with the highest concentration of 33 ppb being

observed on August 19 Comparison of our Dasibi ozone data with the FT-IR

measurements of HN03 showed a strong correspondence between the HN03 and

maxima This is illustrated in Figure V-7 for the pollution episodeso3 of August 15-16 where the hourly average HN03 concentrations (by FT-IR)

VI AMBIENT CONCENTRATIONS OF PAH AND NITRO-PAH

A Introduction

The PAH emitted from combustion sources exhibit a wide range of

volatility and are hence distributed in the atmosphere between the gas

and particle phases As we have shown previously (Arey et al 1987)

complementary sampling techniques are required to obtain a comprehensive

data set concerning the concentrations of volatile and non-volatile PAH

and their derivatives in the atmosphere Thus the volatile 2-ring PAH such as naphthalene which are present almost entirely in the gas-phase

can be quantitatively collected on Tenax GC solid adsorbent The nonshy

volatile 5-ring and larger PAH and 3- to 4-ring nitro-PAH are particle

associated and are collected totally on the Hi-vol filters The 3- and 4-

ring PAH of intermediate volatility and the 2-ring nitro-PAH can be

collected on PUF plugs as well as on the filters indicating that they are

either present mainly in the gas-phase or are blown-off the filter

during the collection period Thus three different collection media were

employed for the ambient air sampling at Citrus College Tenax-GC solid

adsorbent PUF plugs and Hi-vol filters The ambient air samples were

collected from August 12 to August 21 with 12-hr day (0800-2000 PDT) and

night (2000-0800 PDT) sampling intervals

B Experimental

1 Sampling Media Cleaning Procedure

Tenax-GC solid adsorbent was Soxhlet extracted in a cellulose

thimble for -5 hr in a 64 (vv) acetonehexane mixture After packing in

Pyrex tubes (using precleaned glass wool) the Tenax cartridges were

conditioned for -4 hr by heating at 275degC with nitrogen flowing through

them at -20 mL min- 1 The Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters

and PUF plugs were cleaned by Soxhlet extraction for -16 hr in methylene

chloride followed by another 16 hr extraction with methanol

2 Tenax-GC Cartridges Sampling and Analysis

Two sizes of Tenax-GC cartridge were used for the collection of

gas-phase PAH at different flow rates Low-flow cartridges consisted of

10 cm x 4 nnn id Pyrex tubes packed with 0 1 g of Tenax GC solid

adsorbent with sampling flow rates of -1 L min-1 yielding an -06 m3

VI-1

volume of air for each 12-hr sampling period High-flow cartridges

consisted of 10 cm x 1 cm id Pyrex tubes packed with 06 g of Tenax-GC

and operated at flow rates of -10 L min-1 resulting in -6 m3 of air

sampled during a 12-hr period Each low-flow cartridge was equipped with

back-up Tenax cartridge placed in series downstream from the first

cartridge to check for breakthrough

After sampling the Tenax cartridges were stored in dry-ice transshy

ported to SAPRC and stored in a freezer prior to analysis

For analysis deuterated internal standards were added to the lowshy

and high-flow Tenax cartridges respectively as follows in microg)

naphthalene-d5 (18 16) biphenyl-d10 (07 10) phenanthrene-d 10 (06

06) The low- and high-flow cartridges were eluted with 2 mL and 10 mL respectively of diethyl ether which was then solvent exchanged to -02

mL of acetonitrile (using a micro-Snyder apparatus for the high-flow

cartridges)

PAH identifications and quantifications were made by combined gas

chromatographymass spectrometry (GCMS) with multiple ion detection

(MID) as described in detail below

3 High-Volume Filters Followed by PUF Plugs Sampling and Analysis

Two high-volume sampler systems consisting of a TIGF filter

follow by four PUF plugs (-9 cm diameter x 5 cm thickness) [see Figure VI-

1] were run at -23 SCFM for 12 hr intervals yielding ambient samples

collected from -1000 m3 of air

Prior to analysis the PUF plugs were combined into six samples

consisting of a single day sample and a single nighttime sample from the

early portion of the study single day and single night samples from the

latter part of the study and composite samples from four day and four

nights Specifically the samples were (11) August 13 0800-2000 hr

(2) August 13-14 2000-0800 hr (3) August 15 16 17 and 18 0800-2000

hr (4) August 15-16 16-17 17-18 18-19 2000-0800 hr (5 August 20

0800-2000 hr (6 August 20-21 2000-0800 hr

The samples from a single 12-hr day or night collection period (ie

samples 1 2 5 and 6) each consisted of eight PUF plugs (four from each

of the two Hi-vols used and these were combined and extracted together

The composite samples 3 and 4 were each analyzed in two parts ~UF

plugs 1-3 (see Figure VI-1) and to check for breakthrough of the more

Soxhlet extracted overnight (-16 hr) with methylene chloride concentrated

by rotary evaporation under vacuum to -4 mL filtered through 045 microm

Acrodiscs (Gelman Sci) and concentrated further under a stream of

nitrogen to -500 microL

The extracts were fractionated by HPLC using an Altex semi-prepashy

rative scale Ultrasphere Silica column (1 cm x 25 cm) Figure VI-2 shows

a typical HPLC profile of a PUF plug extract together with the mobile

phase program employed A fraction containing the PAH was collected from

4 min to 22 min and a nitroarene-containing fraction from 22 min to 34

min The fractions were concentrated by rotary evaporation then taken

just to dryness under a stream of nitrogen After dissolving in acetoshy

nitrile or CH2c12 the PAH and nitroarene fractions were analyzed by

GCMS-MID as described below

4 Hi-Vols with TIGF Filters Sampling and Analysis

Seven Hi-vol samplers each equipped with a 10 microm cut-off inlet

were employed for POM collection The samplers were run at -40 SCFM

yielding an ambient sample collected from -800 m3 of air for each Hi-vol

over a 12-hr sampling period Two Hi-vols were employed solely for the

collection of POM used for mutagenicity testing The TIGF filters from

the remaining five Hi-vols were combined into six samples corresponding to

the PUF plug samples described above ie samples 1 and 2 and samples

5 and 6 comprised the single day and night samples from August 13-14 and

August 20-21 respectively and samples 3 and 4 were the composite day

and night samples from August 15-16 16-17 17-18 and 18-19 The filter

extraction and work-up procedure was as shown in Scheme VI-1 Each sample

was spiked with deuterated internal standards as follows (single 12-hr

5 GCMS Analyses

Compound identifications and quantifications were made using

either a Finnigan 3200 quadrupole GCMS interfaced to a Teknivent data

system or a Hewlett Packard 5890 GC interfaced to a Hewlett Packard 5970

mass selective detector MSD) both operated in the electron impact mode

(70 eV) The GC separations were done either on a 60 m DB-5 fused silica

capillary column with a cool on-column injection system (J ampWScientific

Inc) or on a 30 m DB-5 fused silica capillary column with splitless

injection Both columns eluted directly into the MS ion source

Calibration curves for the GCMS-MID quantification of the PAH were

made for the molecular ion peaks of the PAH using the corresponding

deuterated species (or the deuterated species most closely matched in

volatility and retention characteristics) as an internal standard The

C Results

1 Volatile PAH Sampled on Tenax-GC Cartridges

The most abundant PAH collected on the Tenaz-GC cartridges were

naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene GC~ analysis of Tenax

samples in the full scanning mode (rather than the MID mode used for

quantification) showed that not unexpectedly several alkylbenzenes were

also very abundant Table VI-1 sUJ11Darizes the ambient concentrations (ng

m-3) of the volatile PAH measured For reasons which will be detailed

below the naphthalene data from the low-flow cartridges have been

utilized while the data for the remaining PAH have been taken from the

values obtained from the high-flow cartridges

In Appendix B Table B-1 the microg quantities of each PAH measured on

the low-flow Tenax cartridges (for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications)

and the calculated total volumes for each sample are listed Replicate

injections gave reproducible values for naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylshy

naphthalene while the levels of biphenyl fluorene and phenanthrene were

too low for accurate quantification Also listed in Table B-1 are the

quantities of PAH observed on the back-up Tenax cartridges which were

also generally too low for accurate quantification Table B-2 lists the

microg quantities measured and volumes sampled for the high-flow cartridges

Since the volumes of air sampled on the high-flow cartridges was a factor

of 10 greater than the low-flow cartridges biphenyl fluorene and phenshy

anthrene could be accurately determined and in addition acenaphthylene

and acenaphthene were measured

Only traces of naphthalene were observed on the Tenax cartridges

which were back-up cartridges for the low-flow Tenax ie less than a

few percent of that measured on the primary cartridge Therefore

naphthalene was collected quantitatively on the low-flow Tenax Table VI-

2 compares the ambient naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene concenshy

trations calculated from the low-flow and high-flow Tenax cartridges The

high-flow values for naphthalene were consistently lower than those

obtained from the low-flow Tenax samples indicating that naphthalene was

not collected quantitatively at a collection rate of 10 L min- 1 at the

ambient temperatures encountered at Citrus College Hence the low-flow

Tenax values for naphthalene are given in Table VI-1

( There is good agreement between the nighttime concentrations of the

1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes calculated from the low- and high-flow Tenax

samples For the daytime samples when the observed concentrations were

generally low the high-flow values tended to be somewhat higher than the

low-flow values and were judged to be more accurate It should be noted

that the low-flow values for 1-methylnaphthalene have been corrected for a

significant interference which was observed on the back-up Tenax

2 PAH Sampled on PUF Plugs

GCMS analysis of the HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts in

which the PAH elute (see Figure VI-2) showed this fraction to contain many

less abundant alkyl-PAH and dibenzothiophene as well as fluorene phenshy

anthrene anthracene fluoranthene and pyrene It must be remembered that

these PAH will be distributed between the gaseous and particle phases in

ambient air and that the quantities measured on the PUF plugs are the sum

of the PAH in the gas phase and the PAH initially present on the POM but

blown-off during the collection period

The ambient concentrations of five PAH and the sulfur heterocycle

dibenzothiophene measured on the PUF plugs are given in Table vI3 The

most abundant PAH collected on the PUF plugs was fluorene From the

composite samples in which the fourth PUF plugs were analyzed separately

it was obvious that fluorene (mw 166) and PAH of higher volatility were

not collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs since substantial amounts

were present on the fourth PUF (see Table VI-3) Consistent with fluorene

not being collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs the ambient concenshy

trations of fluorene listed in Table VI-1 from the Tenax cartridge quanshy

tifications are -2-5 fold higher than those listed in Table VI-3 The

ambient concentrations of phenanthrene measured on the PUF plugs and Tenax

cartridges agree to within better than a factor of two

Figure VI-4 shows the GCMS-MID traces of naphthalene and alkylshy

naphthalenes for the Tenax and PUF samples from the evening of 813-1486

From the Tenax sample trace it is clear that naphthalene was the most

abundant species (at a measured concentration of -5000 ng m-3)

Comparing the Tenax and PUF sample traces it is apparent that naphthalene

was retained on the PUF plugs only to a minor extent (with a measured

concentration of -2 ng m-3 Interestingly although not quantitatively

collected on the PUF plugs the presence of dimethylnaphthalenes in

ambient air is apparent from the PUF samples

3 Diurnal Variations in the Volatile PAH

The ambient concentrations of naphthalene measured for 12-hr day

and night sampling intervals throughout the Citrus College study are shown

in Figure VI-5 It can be seen from these data that the naphthalene conshy

centrations were generally higher during the evening sampling intervals

and that there was a trend toward higher concentrations in the latter part

of the study

The daytime and nighttime concentrations of _ and 2-methylnaphthashy

lene are shown in Figure VI-6 As observed for naphthalene the nighttime

concentrations were generally higher The concentration of 2-methylshy

naphthalene was consistently higher than that of 1-methylnaphthalene The

concentration profiles of the methylnaphthalenes were remarkably similar

perhaps indicating a common source and similar atmospheric loss processes

Reaction with the hydroxyl radical is expected to be the major loss

process for both species with essentially identical atmospheric lifetimes

for 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987a)

All of the volatile PAH were generally more abundant during the

nighttime than daytime sampling intervals (see Table VI-1 and VI-3

Meteorological factors such as inversion heights may certainly have played

a role in this observed trend at Citrus College bu it can be seen that

these diurnal variations are not solely due to meteorology by comparing

the diurnal profiles of species of differing reactiviy For example the

GCMS-MID traces for the molecular ion of biphenyl a11d acenaphthene (mz

154 for a typical daytime and nighttime Tenax sample are shown in Figure

VI-7 As seen from this figure acenaphthene [the ioore reactive of these

PAH (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b] was generally significantly more

abundant in the nighttime samples presumably beig removed by rapid

reaction with the OH radical during daylight hours

GCMS-MID traces of daytime and nighttime PUF samples showing the

analyses of isomeric PAH of differing reactivity are shown in Figures VI-8

and VI-9 While phenanthrene was abundant on both ~~e day and nighttime

PUF plug samples the relative abundance of anthracen~ to phenanthrene was

consistently higher at night Figure VI-8) Similarly acephenanthrylene

an isomer of fluoranthene and pyrene expected to be more reactive than

these PAH towards ozone (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) was generally not

observed in the daytime PUF samples from Citrus College (Figure VI-9)

4 Nitroarenes Sampled on PUF Plugs

The HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts eluting from 22 to 34

min (Figure VI-2) contained the volatile nitroarene species The most

abundant nitroarenes were 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene GCMS analysis in

the full scanning mode showed that this nitroarene-containing HPLC

fraction also contained alkylnitrophenols

Figure Vl-10 shows GCMS-MID traces from a typical analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug extract for 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene (NN) As

seen from this figure identification was based on the presence of several

characteristic fragment ions as well as retention time matching with the

1-nitronaphthalene-d7 internal standard Figure VI-11 shows the presence

of several peaks at mz 187 which elute after 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene

These peaks were identified as methylnitronaphthalenes ( 14 isomers are

possible on the basis of the presence of characteristic [M-N02]+ and [Mshy

HN02J+ fragment ions as well as the mz 187 molecular ion

GCMS-MID traces of a standard mixture of the three nitrobiphenyl

isomers and two isomers of nitroacenaphthene are shown in Figure VI-12

5-Nitroacenaphthene has previously been reported in ambient air (Tokiwa et

al 1981) At Torrance CA during a wintertime high-NOx episode we did

not observe nitroacenaphthene but measured high concentrations of the

isomeric species 3-nitrobiphenyl (Arey et al 1987) In Figure Vl-13 the

[Mr ions of the standard mixture are shown together with the [M)+ ions

and characteristic fragment ion traces obtained from the analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug sample As at Torrance CA the nitroarene isomer

of mw 199 observed at Citrus College was clearly 3-nitrobiphenyl

Table Vl-4 gives the microg quantities of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and

3-nitrobiphenyl collected on the PUF plugs at Citrus College From the

fourth PUF plugs of the composite samples it can be seen that 3-

nitrobiphenyl was quantitatively collected on the first three PUF plugs

Particularly during the daytime samples some breakthrough of 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene occurred In addition to these nitroarene species

traces of 9-nitroanthracene were observed in most of the Citrus College

PUF plug samples but the levels present were too low to quantify

5 PAH Sampled on TIGF Filters

As described in Section B above the extracts of the TIGF filters

were fractionated by HPLC HPLC fractions 2-5 (see Figure VI-3) were

collected as the PAH fraction with fractions 6-7 being chosen to include

the n i troarenes Through the use of deuterated internal standards it

became apparent that the higher molecular weight PAH such as dibenz(ah)shy

anthracene were eluting in HPLC fractions 6-7 The data reported here

for the PAH on filters will be for the lower molecular weight species

ie fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and

benzo(a)pyrene Fractions 6-7 will be analyzed for the higher molecular

weight PAH and the full range of data for PAH on particles will be given

in our final report for our on-going CARB project (Contract No A5-185-

32) A survey of ambient concentrations of selected polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons (PAH) at various locations in California

Table VI-6 lists values for fluoranthane pyrene benz(a)anthracene

chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene in the NBS SRM 1649 an air

particulate sample collected in Washington DC The values recently

reported by the NBS (Wise et al 1986) for analyses by GC and HPLC with

fluorescence detection along with our values determined by GCMS-MID are

given The extraction and clean-up procedures we used for the SRM

particles were as described in Section B for the Citrus College POM sample

analyses As can be seen from Table VI-6 the agreement between our

values and those reported by NBS is generally excellent

The microg quantities of the five PAH measured in the Citrus College POM

samples for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications are given in Appendix B

Table B-3 The concentrations of these five PAH in ng m-3 (averaging the

replicate values) are given in Table VI-7 Two additional samples 7 and

8 repeat day and night composites are also listed in Tables B-3 and

VI-7 It was found that in taking the benzenemethanol extracts to a

constant weight a significant fraction of the deuterated internal stanshy

dards fluoranthene-d 10 pyrene-d 10 and even 2-nitrofluoranthene-d9 were

lost The use of internal standards should of course allow for correcshy

tion of such losses Since all of the filters from each day or night

comprising these composites had not been extracted we made replicate

composite samples and extracted these replicates with dichloromethane As

can be seen from Table VI-7 the composites and the repeat composites

VI-28

agree to within better than a factor of two In our current procedure for

POM analyses the benzenemethanol extract is not taken to dryness

6 Nitroarenes Sampled on TlGF Filters

The ambient concentrations of the nitrofluoranthenes and nitroshy

pyrenes measured for the six Citrus College POM samples are given in Table

VI-7 As we have observed previously (Pitts et al 1985c Ramdahl et al

1986 Arey et al 1987) 2-nitrofluoranthene was the most abundant

particle-associated nitroarene The GCMS-MID trace of the molecular ion

for the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (mz 247) from the August 20-

21 1986 2000-0800 PDT sample is shown in Figure VI-14 This sample

VII AMBIENT MUTAGENICITY

A Introduction

For the past several years the mutagenicity of ambient P0M has been

recognized as a characteristic of polluted urban atmospheres Further-

more although airborne particulate matter contains many carcinogenic PAH

its mutagenic activity does not resemble that of the PAH which require

mammalian metabolic activation (S9) as a requisite for expression of their

mutagenicity in the Ames Salmonella test Instead ambient P0M is

directly active ie expressing mutagenicity without the addition of

S9 and thus showing that other classes of organic chemicals which are

direct-acting mutagens are also present in ambient air

As an integral part of the CSMCS carried out at Citrus College

Glendora we measured the mutagenicity of collected 12-hour particulate

samples both with and without mammalian metabolic activation on

Salmonella strain TA98 Additionally we obtained mutagenicity data on

strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6

B Experimental

Sample Preparation for Mutagenicity Testing As noted in Section

II I POM samples were collected on a 12-hr basis throughout the study

period from 0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT The collected particulate

matter from two Hi-vols fitted with 10 microm cut-off inlets was weighed and

the filters Soxhlet extracted for 16-hr using a benzenemethanol (8020

azeotrope The solvent was removed under vacuum and the extracts were

taken to dryness under a stream of dry nitrogen Prior to mutagenicity

testing the sample extracts were stored in the dark at -75degC On the day

of the test each extract was taken up in DMS0 using a 20-minute

sonication and serial dilutions in DMS0 were made from this stock

solution

Tester Strains Ames Salmonella strain TA98 was used because of its

sensitivity to atmospheric particulate mutagens such as the nitroarenes

(Rosenkranz and Mermelstein 1983 and each particulate extract was tested

on this strain both in the presence and the absence of manmalian metabolic ( activation (S9 Each sample was also tested on strains TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6 in the absence of S9 as a possible indication of nitroarene

VII-1

mutagenicity TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 are isolates of TA98 which are

deficient in a nitroreductase Rosenkranz and Speck 1975 McCoy et al

1981 and a transacetylase enzyme (McCoy et al 1983 Orr et al 1985

Saito et al 1985 respectively The deficiency or these enzymes which

are required in the activation of many nitroarenes to penultimate

mutagens renders these strains less sensitive than TA98 to many mutagenic

nitroarenes Thus when a complex mixture exhibits less activity on

TA98NR or TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 it may be an indication of the

contribution of ni troarenes to the mutagenic activity of that sample

Table VII-1 shows the response of TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to

TA98 for several mutagenic atmospheric nitroarenes

The strains were cultured in 40 mL of L-broth for 12 hours at 37degC

with shaking The culture density was estimated by its absorbance at 550

nm and each strain was diluted with fresh medium to an absorbance

previously calculated to yield the standard culture density of 109 colony

forming units per mL (approximately 028 absorbance units) After

dilution the cultures were maintained in an ice bath for the duration of

the test The titer of each culture was determined by dilution and

plating on histidine-supplemented medium E The standard genotypic

markers which were routinely checked were crystal violet sensitivity UV

sensitivity and ampicillin resistance Three standard positive-control

mutagens were tested on each strain 1) 2-nitrofluorene a positive

control mutagen which we have used for the past ten years to check the

response of TA98 was also used to check the reduced response of TA98NR

relative to TA98 2 18-dinitropyrene was used to check the reduced

response of TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 and TA98NR for nitroarenes

which require the Salmonella transacetylase for activation and 3)

quercetin was used to check the equivalent response of these strains to

non-nitroarene mutagens Additionally benzo(apyrene was tested on

TA98(+S9) to check the response of this strain to indirect mutagens

Our testing protocol consistently results in somewhat higher

mutagenicities than other laboratories which we attribute primarily to

the use of L-broth instead of Oxoid broth to culture the tester strains

L-broth has about twice the amount of histidine as does Oxoid and its use

results in larger amounts of histidine on the test plate Because it is

the limiting growth factor a higher amount of histidine results in a

higher number of cells on the test plate and hence a higher number of

revertants (Maron and Ames 1983) The use of L-broth also results in a

somewhat denser background lawn of unreverted Salmonella but colony

morphology and visibility are unaffected

S9 Mix Arochlor 1254-induced rat liver S9 was prepared by Litton

Bionetics Inc according to the method of Ames et al (1975) and containshy

ed 26 mg mL- 1 protein (manufacturers analysis) NADP was purchased from

Boehringer Mannheim and glucose-6-phosphate was purchased from Sigma

Chemical Company

The S9 mix was prepared by the standard protocol (Ames et al 1975

Maron and Ames 1983) with 001 ml S9 per plate c2i vv mix) This S9

concentration was chosen since we have previously found a 2i vv mix to be

optimal in activating ambient particulate extracts collected in southern

California Frequently the use of S9 in testing ambient POM results in a

net decrease in activity as deactivation of direct mutagens overrides the

presumed activation of indirect mutagens such as the PAH Many

nitroarenes are also subject to this S9 suppression of activity

VI-3

Testing Protocol The standard Ames Salmonella plate incorporation

mutagenicity test was performed according to the method of Ames and coshy

workers (Ames et al 1975 Maron and Ames 1983) with some modifications to

improve its accuracy and precision (Belser et al 1981) Because of the

large number of plates required for the complete set of samples the

extracts were assayed in two tests 1) TA98 with and without S9 and 2)

TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 without S9 By dividing the tests by strain the

variation in response within one sample set was minimized Each extract

was tested in triplicate at eight doses chosen to logarithmically span the

region of linear response observed in the past for ambient P0M In

anticipation of lower activities on TA98NR and TA981 8-DNP6 the doses

chosen for these strains were twice as great as those for TA98 Hence

each sample was tested at 3 6 11 21 38 70 135 and 250 microg plate- 1 on

TA98 and at 6 12 22 42 76 140 270 and 500 microg plate-1 on TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6

Each test was performed in a single afternoon by means of a procedure

designed to improve intraday precision Belser et al 1981) Darkroom

conditions were employed throughout to prevent any photodecomposi tion of

the samples which might occur under laboratory fluorescent 1 ights The

plates were incubated at 37degC for 63 hours and counted with a Biotran

automatic colony counter (New Brunswick Scientific) directly interfaced to

a microcomputer ( Apple II) The extract potencies or specific activishy

ties were obtained by 1 inear regression analysis of the dose-response

data in the region of linear response The slope of the dose-response 1curve is the specific activity in revertants microg- The ratios of the

specific activities on strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98

were then calculated

From the specific activities the extract weights and the weights of

the particulate matter collected the potencies of the particulate matter

or mutagen loadings in revertants per mg of particulate matter collected

were calculated Finally from the specific activities the extract

weights and the volumes of sampled air the airborne mutagenicity conshy

centrations or mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of sampled air

were calculated

in Tables VII-2 to VII-5 The concurrent General Motors Laboratories

mutagen density data (J Siak T L Chan and G T Wolff private

connnunication) are included in Table VII-5 for comparison As we have

observed before in southern California the sampled POM was principally

directly active the average direct activity (TA98 -S9 was 345 rev m-3

as compared to 332 rev m-3 with metabolic activation TA98 +S9 Figure

VII-1 shows the mutagen density with and without S9 observed during this

study The values are intermediate in the range of mutagen densities we

have observed before in southern California and followed a general trend

towards higher values at the end of the study Figure VII-2 shows the

TA98 +S9 to TA98 -S9) ratio together with the TA98 (-S9) mutagen

density which are anticorrelated Thus sampling periods with higher

direct mutagenicity tended to be those which exhibited less promutagenshy

icity and greater direct activity This observation is consistent in a

qualitative manner with the presence in ambient POM of nitroarenes

The final nighttime sampling period during this study 820-2186

2000-0800 PDT) was unusual because of the high levels of volatile and nonshy

volatile nitroarenes present in the atmosphere For example the 2-nitroshy

fluoranthene concentration was a factor of ~5 greater than on the previous

day and the 1-nitronaphthalene concentration increased by over a factor of

two Concurrent observations of the presence of the nitrate radical

indicated that chemistry could have been occurring on this nightN2o5 Our measured mutagen density however declined by a factor of two

inconsistent with these other observations Moreover in contrast to our

results researchers at General Motors Laboratories using CH2c12 as an

extraction solvent observed a significant increase in mutagenicity (TA98

-S9) from the daytime 82086 0800-2000 PDT) sample to the nighttime

(820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) sample in their tests Since we had used a

benzene-methanol azeotrope as the extraction solvent system we decided to

retest the POM collected during these final two sampling periods using

dichloromethane as the extraction solvent

For this second mutagenicity test using CH2c12-extraction POM

collected on TGF filters in Hi-vol samplers modified to allow PUF plugs

to be placed downstream from the filters was employed These modified Hishy

vol samplers were operated at a flow rate or 23 SCFM instead of the

conventional 40 SCFM) to ensure that the flow controller remained

operative One filter from the daytime (82086 0800-2000 PDT) and one

filter from the nighttime 820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) collection period

were Soxhlet extracted for 16 hours with CH2c12 and tested on TA98 -S9)

The results or this collection and mutagenicity test are given in

Table VII-6 together with the data for our previous test of the benzene-methanol extracts As can be seen from the TSP data the modified

samplers collected more particulate matter than the standard Hi-vol as

expected since these Hi-vols were not equipped with a size-selective

inlet This was not expected to have greatly affected the mutagenicity

results however because very little mutagenicity is present on particles

larger than -10 micro

The more polar benzene-methanol solvent system extracted much more

material than did CH2c12 bull Despite the larger amount of polar material

present in the benzene-methanol samples the mutagen density for the

nighttime sample is three-fold lower than for the corresponding CH2c12-

extracted sample In contrast the mutagen density for the benzeneshy

methanol daytime sample is somewhat higher than for the corresponding

CH2c12-extracted sample Apparently the polar material in the benzeneshy

methanol extract of the nighttime sample inhibited the mutagenicity of

this extract probably through toxic or bacteriostatic action In

contrast the mutagenici ty of the polar compounds in the daytime sample

overcame any inhibitory effect

These observations illustrate the inherent compromises in choosing a

solvent system for extracting ambient POM The benzene-methanol solvent

system was chosen precisely because it extracts more polar material than

does CH2c12 and does not generate the artifactual mutagenicity associated

with the use of acetonitrile Indeed because inhibitory compounds may be

of the same polarity as mutagens every solvent system must result in an

underestimation of the mutagenicity of ambient POM This underscores the

need for identification and quantification of ambient mutagens Once

identified and tested for mutagenicity in their pure form the known

mutagens in a sample can be quantified and an accurate sum of their

mutagenicities can be obtained

VIII CONCLUSIONS

The objectives of SAPRCs involvement in the ARB-funded CSMCS study

held at Citrus College Glendora CA during the period August 12-21

1986 were met Using long pathlength differential optical absorption and

Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopic techniques the

ambient concentrations of N02 HONO HCHO HN03 NH3 and the N03 radical

were monitored in an essentially continuous mode throughout this study

period Since these data were obtained using absolute in-situ spectroshy

scopic methods they have served as benchmark data for the evaluation of

other more portable measurement methods for the determination of HCHO

and HN03 concentrations during the SCAQS carried out in 1987

Based upon the experimental methods used and ambient air concentshy

ration data obtained in our recent study at El Camino Conmtunity College

Torrance we were able to employ a complementary set of sampling techshy

niques to provide a comprehensive data set concerning the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of both volatile and non-volatile PAH and nitroshy

arenes during this study at Citrus College Ambient atmospheric concenshy

tration data were obtained for the following PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-

methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene

phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)shy

anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene and the following

nitroarenes 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3- and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene The ambient concentrations of

the PAH cover a very large range (gt1000) with the most volatile PAH naphshy

thalene being the most abundant Indeed the naphthalene concentration

exceeded 1 ppb during the 12-hr nighttime period 2000-0800 PDT on August

20-21 and averaged 0 7 ppb (3700 ng m-3) over the entire study period

The next most abundant PAH were the 1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes with 2-

methylnaphthalene being about twice as abundant as 1-methylnaphthalene

The ambient concentrations of the PAH exhibited diurnal variations

with the concentrations generally being higher during the nighttime

sampling periods than during the daytime periods This diurnal variation

can most readily be seen for the volatile PAH which were sampled onto the

high and low flow Tenax cartridges and for which individual 12-hr analyses

were carried out This diurnal variation could in general be due to

VIII-1

differing daynight emission rates meteorology (with lower inversion

heights and hence higher concentrations during the nighttime periods

andor differing atmospheric removal rates due to chemical reactions The

observation (Table VI-1 that the magnitude of the diurnal variation

depended on the specific PAH with the largest variations being for the

most chemically reactive PAH indicates that part of this variation was

due to chemical removal of the PAH during daytime hours

The 2-3 ring PAH monitored using the Tenax cartridge system all react

with the OH radical during daylight hours (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and

Aschmann 1987b) with expected lifetimes due to this OH radical reaction

of approximately 3 days for biphenyl and fluorene and 2-12 hrs for the

other PAH The PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene acenaphthene

acenaphthylene and phenanthrene also react to a lesser extent with N2o5bull

In addition acenaphthene and acenaphthylene also react with N03 radicals

(Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) bull These andor radical removalN2o5 N03 processes were likely to be of minor significance during this study since

the N03 radical (and hence N2o5) concentrations were low In addition

acenaphthylene reacts with Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) with thiso3 removal process again being most important during daytime Interestingly

the ratio (average nighttime concentrationaverage daytime concentration)

correlates well with the OH radical reaction rate constant (which varies

from 7 x 10-12 cm3 molecule- 1 s-1 for biphenyl to 1 1 x 10-10 cm3 moleshy1cule-1 s- for acenaphthylene (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and Aschmann

1987b) as shown by the plot in Figure VIII-1 This good correlation

confirms our expectation that daytime reaction with the OH radical is an

important atmospheric removal process for the PAH present in the gas

phase

The nitroarenes also exhibit a diurnal concentration profile as

shown in Figure VIII-2 which gives our earlier data from Torrance CA

(Winer et al 1987) as well as from Citrus College Again this observed

diurnal variation in the nitroarene concentrations can be due to differing

emission rates differing formation rates from their parent PAH during

transport through the atmosphere meteorology or differing removal rates

during daytime and nighttime periods Our data for the PAH (Figure VIII-1)

show that meteorology at Citrus College had a relatively minor effect of

the order of 20J (estimated from the intercept representing no OH radical

( reaction) on the daynight concentration ratio Further it is expected

(Atkinson et al 1987) that the atmospheric OH radical reactions of the

nitroarenes will be relatively slow Hence since 3-nitrobiphenyl is not

expected to be emitted and the daytimenighttime emission rates of the

nitronaphthalenes are not likely to vary significantly the observed difshy

ferences in the daynight concentration profiles for 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl strongly suggest differing formation rates

In particular our observation that the daytime concentrations of 3-nitroshy

biphenyl are always higher than the nighttime concentration ( in total

contrast to the situation for the PAH) shows that 3-nitrobiphenyl must be

made in the atmosphere during daytime hours Indeed we have shown from

laboratory studies (Atkinson et al 1987) that the daytime OH radical

reaction with biphenyl (the only significant atmospheric chemical removal

process for biphenyl) forms 3-nitrobiphenyl in approximately 5j yield

1- and 2-Nitronaphthalene are also formed from the reaction of OH radicals

with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) but these nitroarenes can also be

formed from the nighttime reaction of naphthalene with N2o5 (Atkinson et

al 1987)

In our previous study in Torrance CA (Winer et al 1987) N03 radicals were not present during nighttime hours and hence the N2o5 forshy

mation route to the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes was not operative and the

daytime concentrations of the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes and 3-nitroshy

biphenyl were higher than during the nighttime as expected from a daytime

formation pathway via OH radical reaction from their parent PAH In

contrast at Citrus College N03 radicals were observed on several

evenings and both daytime and nighttime formation of 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene was hence possible (note that 3-nitrobiphenyl could only be formed

during the daytime) Indeed while the daytime 3-nitrobiphenyl concenshy

trations were higher than the nighttime concentrations the 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene concentrations were as high or higher during the

nights Even more interesting is the observation that during daytime the

1- and 2-nitronaphthalene concentrations were comparable consistent with

the similar formation yields from the daytime OH radical-initiated reacshy

tions with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) During nighttime however

the 1-nitronaphthalene concentrations were significantly higher than the

2-nitronaphthalene concentrations consistent with nighttime formation

from N2o5 reaction with naphthalene for which the 1- and 2-nitronaphthashy

lene yields are 15J and 7J respectively (Atkinson et al 1987

The ambient nitroarene concentrations also vary widely from compound

to compound and as with the PAH the most volatile nitroarenes are again

the most abundant Indeed as shown in Table VIII-1 the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl

(measured at both Torrance (Winer et al 1987) and Citrus College are

comparable to the ambient concentrations of fluoranthene and (not shown)

pyrene and are generally an order of magnitude higher than the concenshy

trations of 2-nitrofluoranthene the most abundant particle-associated

nitroarene

As noted in previous sections of this report the PAH themselves are

not directly mutagenic in the Ames assay without microsomal activation

The ambient atmospheric concentrations of the particle-associated nitroshy

arenes (which are direct-acting mutagens when combined with their

mutagenic activities (Table VII-1) allow the ambient mutagenic densities

resulting from the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (by far the most

abundant particle-associated nitroarenes to be calculated Table Vlll-2

8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene for the six time-periods for

nitropyrenes ranged from approximately 1-9 rev m-3_ 2-Nitrofluoranthene

buted by the nitroarenes of molecular weight 247

These calculated nitrofluoranthene and nitropyrene mutagen densities

account for typically 10J of the measured ambient mutagenicity It is

difficult to cite a definite numerical contribution of the nitrofluorshy

anthenes and nitropyrenes to ambient mutagenicity due to potential

problems in the Ames assay as discussed in Section VII above This 10J

figure for the contribution of the particle-associated nitroarenes to

ambient mutagenicity is consistent with the values given by Arey et al

(1988) and shows that the majority ie typically 90j of the mutagenishy

city of ambient POM is presently unaccounted for Ihis as yet unaccountshy

ed for direct-acting mutagenicity could be associated with other PAH-

VIII-6

( derivatives formed in the atmosphere during transport from source to

receptor or from other classes of organics Further work to attempt to

determine the identity of these other mutagens and their sources (direct

emissions versus atmospheric formation) is clearly necessary

In the Carbonaceous Soecies Mthoos Catparison Study in August 1986 at Citrus COllege Glendora CA the ambient concentrations of N~ HONO and HCHO were measured by long pathlength a1rrerent1a1 optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) Ambient concentrations of HNO]t NH3 and HCHO were measured by long patblength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy Signiticant concentrations of these pollutants were observed with mixing rat1s ot up to approximately 140 45 30~ 20 and 15 parts-per-billion (ppb) for N02 HONO ~bull HCHO and NH3 respectively being determined

In addition allbient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr nightshytime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF) plugs and Teflon-impregshynated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples 1were analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associat~d polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and nitroarenes The mutagen densities obtained were consistent with those measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin The following PAH and nitroarenes were observed and quantified naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz ( a )anthracene chrysenetriphenylene benzo(a)pyrene 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3-and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene

I bull PROJECT SUMMARY

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides of nitrogen precursors are complex and

it is necessary to have measurements of the reactant and product species

in as detailed a manner as possible in order to provide a data base

suitable for input into airshed computer models These organic compounds

may be distributed between the gas and particle phases and hence measureshy

ments of their concentrations in both phases must be carried out In

order to allow for a methods development and methods intercomparison prior

to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California

Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two methods intercomparison studies one

in 1985 at Claremont concerning the measurement of nitrogenous species

and a second at Citrus College GleQdora during August of 1986 dealing

principally with the intercomparison of measurement methods for organic

and carbonaceous species

In the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study (CSMCS) at

Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center

(SAPRC) carried out the measurement of several inorganic and organic

species Specifically the following measurements were made

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS) we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02) nitrous acid (HONO) and

formaldehyde (HCHO

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption specshy

troscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) ammonia (NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF)

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbons PAH) and nitroarenes

The DOAS and FT-IR systems utilized 25 m base-path multiple-reflecshy

tion optical systems aligned parallel to one another with the optical

beams being -24 m above the ground surface An extensive data set for

the gas-phase concentrations of N02 HONO HN03 HCHO (by both DOAS and

FT-IR spectroscopy NH3 and the N03 radical was obtained during this

study period The complete data set is tabulated in detail in Sections IV

1-1

and V of this report and Figures I-1 and I-2 show the HCHO HN03 and NH3 time-concentration profiles obtained by FT-IR spectroscopy (Figure I-1)

and the HONO time-concentration profile as monitored by DOAS (Figure I-2)

respectively These two figures and the data presented in Sections IV and

V show that significant concentrations of these pollutants were present

during this sampling period with ambient concentrations of up to

approximately 140 45 30 20 and 15 ppb for N02 BONO HN03 HCHO and

w3 respectively A definitiVe measurement of the presence of No3 radicals was made only on one night during this study (due to the

detection limit for this species) with a peak N03 radical concentration

of 70 ppt being measured on the night of August 13 The presence of N03 radicals at levels lt40 ppt was observed on the evenings of August 13 19

and 20

Ambient particulate organic matter (POM) was collected on a 12-hr

daytime and nighttime sampling period (0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT) and

was tested for mutagenicity towards Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98

with and without added S9) TA98NR (-S9) and TA9818-DNP6 (-S9) The

measured mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of air sampled are given

in Table I-1 These mutagen densities are consistent with those we have

measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin As also observed

previously the mutagen densities and mutagenic activity of the POM

measured in the presence and absence of S9 are essentially indistinguishshy

able with average mutagen densities (strain TA98) of 33 and 35 rev bull-3 with and without S9 respectively

Ambient air was also sampled on filters and solid adsorbents in order

to collect the gas- and particle associated PAH and PAH-derivatives for

combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis Three collection

systems were used to sample ambient air low and high-flow ( 1 and 10 L

min- 1 respectively) cartridges packed with Tenax-GC solid adsorbent to

sample the volatile PAH such as naphthalene and the methylnaphthalenes

Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters backed up by polyurethane

foam (PUF plugs to sample the semi-volatile PAH and nitroarenes present

either in the gas phase or blown-off the filters during the collection

period and TIGF filters for the collection of POM containing the higher

seven locations in California at which sampling was to be conducted to

obtain data concerning the ambient levels of mutagenicity and of PAH

were exposed The Glendora site was chosen as the site impacted by

vehicle emissions The mutagenicity data and the concentrations of the

11 INTRODUCTION

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides or nitrogen precursors are exceedingly

complex and in order to provide a data base suitable for input into

airshed computer models it is necessary to have measurenents of the reacshytant and product species in as detailed a manner as possible Since these

organic compounds may be distributed between the gas anltI particle phases

measurements of both the gas- and particle-phase concentrations of organic

chemicals must be carried out In order to allow for a methods developshy

ment and methods intercomparison prior to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two

methods intercomparison studies one in 1985 at Clarsont concerning the

measurement of nitrogenous species and a second at Citrus College

Glendora during August of 1986 dealing principally with the intercomparishy

son or measurement methods for organic and carbonaceous species

In this Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study at Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Researcplusmn Center (SAPRC) was

involved in the measurement of a number of inorganic and organic species

Specifically we measured the atmospheric concentrations of the following compounds

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02 nitrous acid (HONO) and formaldehyde (HCHO)

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) anmonia NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyllethane foam PUF

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber TIGF filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbOns (PAH) and nitroarenes

Furthermore the measurements of the ambient atmspheric concentrashy

tions of PAH and PAH-derivatives at Citrus College formed one part of a

further ambient measurement study funded by the ARB Contract No AS-185-

32 dealing with the ambient concentrations of PAH ant PAR-derivatives at

11-1

seven sites throughout California impacted by differing combustion

emission sources The Citrus College site served as the vehicle emissionshyimpacted site for this study

The description or the site at Citrus College Glendora and the

experimental procedures and data obtained from these measurement methods are detailed in the following sections

111 DESCRIPTION OF SITE

As noted earlier this monitoring program was conducted in conshy

junction with the ARB-funded carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison

Study As shown in Figure 111-1 the ARB selected a site adjacent to the

football stadium on the campus of Citrus College for this study The

orientation and relationship of the long pathlength n-IR and OOAS systems

to other investigators is shown in Figure 111-2 The SAPRC high-volume

(Hi-vol) samplers were located Just north of the mobile vans and trailers

of other investigators The optical spectrometers were elevated on

concrete blocks to achieve a 24 m (8 ft) height for the optical beams in

order to minimize the influences or dry deposition of nitric acid and

other nitrogenous species This requirement necessitated a major

restructuring or the FT~IR and DOAS instrument supports In order to

augment the 12 m 4 ft height initially designed into the optical axes

or both of the long pathlength mirror assemblies while at the same time

preventing extraneous vibrations the spectrometers mirror systems and

their housings wereset on massive concrete blocks

Six 4 ft x 4 ft x 10 ft concrete structures were rented from the

Pyramid Precast company which provided the necessary machinery to

position the blocks on premarked areas at the study site Three of these

blocks constituted the support platform for the FT-IR and DOAS assemblies

at each end of the optical path (see Figure 111-2) New 9 ft x 12 ft

sheds were procured and constructed on these platforms during the last

week of August and the first week of September Subsequent assembly and

testing of the spectrometers and optical systems was completed in time for

the scheduled start of the field study on September 11 1985

As shown in Figure 111-2 the two SAPRC 25 m basepath optical systems

were set up parallel to each other and to the scaffolding which supported

most of the samplers from other groups participating in the intercomparishy

son study The optical systems were aligned in a north-south orientation

to minimize scattered light problems at sunrise and sunset and positioned

due west of the scaffolding and various mobile vans and trailers f The study period began at 0800 PDT on Tuesday August 12 and conshy

tinued until 0800 PDT on August 21 The FT-IR and DOAS systems operated

essentially continuously during this period with FT-IR spectra being

IV MEASUREMENTS OF HONO H()2 NO~ RADICALS AND HCHO BY DIFFERENTIAL OPTICAL ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

A Introduction

The development of a long pathlength OOAS system by Perner and Platt

1979) and its application and extension by these workers and by SAPRC

researchers Platt et al 1980ab 1981 1982 1984 Harris et al 1982

Pitts et al 1984ab 1985a) has provided a technique capable of sensishy

tive specific and time-resolved measurements of the ambient concentrashy

tions of a number of important atmospheric species including nitrous

acid formaldehyde the nitrate radical and nitrogen dioxide

In this section we briefly describe the design and operation of the

25 m basepath DOAS system employed to measure ambient levels of N03 radicals HONO N02 and HCHO during the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study and the results obtained during this measurement

period A more detailed description of the experimental system is provided in an earlier report to the ARB (Winer et al 1987)

B Experimental Methods

The 25 m basepath optical system (Figure IV-1) was of the threeshy

mirror White design but with an added corner reflector at the in-focus

end which effectively doubled its maximum pathlength capability The

mirrors were fabricated from 30 cm dia x 5 cm thick Pyrex blanks and

coated with a custom dielectric coating for optimum reflectivity in the spectral regions of interest

The DOAS system measures the ambient concentrations of trace

components which have distinct vibronic structures by their light

absorption in the near-ultraviolet (uv) and visible spectral regions

White light from a 75 W high pressure Xenon lamp was imaged by a spherical

mirror into the plane of the nesting (in-focus) mirror of the White cell

and then propagated through the multiple reflection optics until it

emerged from the system and was imaged onto the entrance slit of the

monochromator SPEX 1870 05 m) The light intensity was monitored by a

photomultiplier EMI 9659Q) and the signal acquired and averaged by a DEC

MINC 1123 minicomputer

With the DOAS a rotating slotted disk was used to allow rapid

scanning The slotted disk was formed by etching a set of exit slits (100

microm wide 10 m spacing) radially into a thin metal disk This disk was

rotated in the focal plane of the dispersed spectrua As each slit moved across the opening between the masks that block the two adjacent slits it

scanned a spectral range of -30-60 nm depending on the rotation frequency

of the slotted disk The orientation of the spectrometer grating

determined which specific spectral region was scanned As employed in its

final form in this program the slotted disk rotated at -4 Hz resulting in

a scan rate of -100 Hz well above the frequency distribution of

atmospheric turbulence (which otherwise would introduce unwanted structure

into the spectra)

As a slit became visible at the edge of the mask it was detected by

an infrared photodiode A trigger signal was sent to the computer which

continuously recorded digitized samples of the light intensity as the slit

scanned across the spectrum Since several tens of thousand such scans

were acquired and added in the computer memory within a few minutes this

improved the signal-to-noise ratio of the resulting spectrum The

rotational speed of the slotted disk was maintained constant to within

101j to preserve the spectral resolution while superimposing the scans

The computer was also used for spectral deconvolution and for the

calculation of optical densities

Since a single scan required only -10 msec atmospheric scintillation

effects had little effect on the signal Moreover since typically (2-8)

x 104 individual scans were recorded and signal-averaged over each several

minute measurement period even complete but momentary interruption of

the light beam had no appreciable effect on the final spectrum Except

under the haziest conditions stray light effects were negligible due to

the instruments narrow field of view -8 x 10-5 steradians] and in any

case stray light could be taken into account by means of appropriate

background spectra

The concentrations of atmospheric species were derived from Beers

Law However since the light intensity in the absence of any absorption

(1 0 ) cannot be obtained with this technique the differential optical

density was employed and thus only those compounds which have structured

absorption spectra could be measured Table IV-1 gives the characteristic

IV-3

absorption bands and detection limits for a number of atmospheric species

of interest based on a km pathlength It can be seen that the

detection limits range from 3 ppb for HCHO down to -10 ppt for the N03 radical For automatic scanning of spectra 32 or 40 reflections (corresshy

ponding to pathlengths of 800 and 1000 m respectively) were generally

employed and the corresponding detection limits for quantitative analyses

were then 06-07 ppb for HONO and 13-16 ppt for N03 radicals

C Results and Discussion

The SAPRC 25 m basepath DOAS system was set up at the Glendora site

in the specific orientation relative to other experiments conducted

during this field study as described in Section III

Essentially continuous DOAS measurements were conducted from August

13 until the morning of August 21 1986 Maximum ozone levels and peak

concentrations of N03 radicals during this study are sUD1Darized in Table

IV-2 Individual concentrations of HONO HCHO and N02 observed during

this period are given in tabular form in Appendix B and hourly average

data for these species are given in Tables IV-3 to IV-5 For the

majority of the time the pathlength was set to 800 m with a detection

limit equivalent to an optical density of 3 x o-14 bull The data reduction

process was more automated than previously and thus the detection limit was raised from 2 x 10-4 to 3 x 10-4 OD to offset the tendency of the

software to interpret noise at the detection limit as a peak The

corresponding detection limits were N02 35 ppb HOHO 08 ppb and

HCHO 45 ppb

Because the HONO and HCHO bands are overlapped by N02 bands and N02 is more abundant in the Los Angeles basin the DOAS spectra must be first

analyzed for N02 to enable its features to be quantitatively removed prior

to determining HONO and HCHO concentrations Figure IV-2 shows the timeshy

concentration profile for N02 from 0000 PDT on August 13 to 0800 PDT on

August 21 The solid line shows the DOAS data while the dashed line

shows measurements made by our chemiluminescence oxides of nitrogen

analyzer The two curves track each other very well during the nighttime

and early morning hours In the afternoon the NOx analyzer consistently

read 10 to 30 ppb higher since the DOAS values at those times were as low

as 15-25 ppb this caused a discrepancy of a factor of two or more The

higher values measured by the chemiluminescence method are attributed to

the known interferences of HN03 and PAN in this detection method

consistent with the levels or HN03 and PAN in the afternoon periods being

approximately equivalent to this difference in the DOAS N02 and chemilshy

uminescence N0x-H0 readings

After the quantitative removal of the N02 features from the OOAS

spectra the data reduction procedure utilized a simultaneous leastshy

squares fit or HON0 and HCHO reference spectra to the residual ambient air

spectra Figure IV-3 shows the time concentration profile for HCHO as

determined by DOAS (solid line) For comparison the FT-IR data from

Section V are shown as the dashed line The agreement between the two

methods is very good with the discrepancies being within the error

limits However it appears that the OOAS results for the first four

nights are consistently higher than the FT-IR data by about 1-3 ppb This

could be due to an overestimation of HCH0 absorption features in the OOAS

spectra since the reported FT-IR HCH0 levels were at or below the DOAS

detection limit of 45 ppb (where the signal-to-noise ratio was near

unity)

Finally the H0N0 time-concentration profile for August 13-21 is

presented in Figure IV-4 No comparison data are available for HON0 for

this study However as discussed above the only source of a large

systematic error would be the literature value for the HON0 absorption

cross-sections used in the calculations During the Citrus College field

study nighttime HON0 levels were higher than observed in the 1985

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study at Claremont where the maximum

HON0 concentrations were in the range 15 to 25 ppb For five of the

nights at Citrus College the HON0 concentrations were also in the same

range However for three nights H0N0 levels attained -35 ppb and

during the last night of the study H0N0 reached a maximum of Jamp5 ppb

There was however no correlation of the HON0 concentrations to the

nighttime N02 levels which were relatively constant at 60-75 ppb Since

the heterogeneous formation of H0N0 from N02 involves moisture correlashy

tions to other parameters such as relative humidity and particulate

loading may prove interesting

V LONG PATHLENGTH FT-IR MEASUREMENTS OF HN03 NH3 AND HCHO

A Introduction

As discussed elsewhere in more detail (Winer et al 1987) the long

pathlength FT-IR system was employed to provide benchmark data for the

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study held at Pomona College

(Claremont) in September 1985 Following this the FT-IR spectrometer

participated in our winter field study at El Camino CoDJDUnity College

(Torrance) Due to a need for a more detailed comparison of HN03 measurements by the FT-IR and tunable diode laser spectroscopic (TDLS)

methods than had been possible during the 1985 Claremont study the

longpath FT-IR system was subsequently set up in Glendora on the Citrus

College campus for more intensive measurements of HN03 and NH3 between

August 12-21 1986 In this study species coverage by the FT-IR method

was extended to include the measurement of formaldehyde (HCH0) Attempts

were also made to detect N2o5 in ambient air by thorough examination of

the spectra recorded in the late afternoon and evening hours Alllllonia

(NH3) was included among middot the species measured since in certain

localities it can profoundly affect the concentration of gaseous HN03 by

its reaction to form aerosol anmonium nitrate (Doyle et al 1979 Tuazon

et al 1980)

B Experimental

1 Kilometer Pathlength FT-IR System

Measurements of ambient air pollutants by infrared spectroscopy

were carried out using a recently constructed 25-m basepath open

multiple-reflection optical system interfaced to a Mattson Instruments

Inc Sirius 100 FT-IR spectrometer This spectr0111eter has a maximum

resolution capability of 0125 cm-1 and is equipped with a Motorola 68000-

based data system The long pathlength optics are of the three-mirror

White design (White 1942) with provisions for adding a corner reflector

at the in-focus end (Horn and Pimentel 1971) when desired to effectively

double the systems pathlength The mirrors in this new optical system

were fabricated from 30 cm diameter 6 cm thick Pyrex blanks and goldshy

coated for the best reflectivity (~99J) in the infrared The optimum

pathlength for monitoring was determined to be in the 1-1 5 km range

V-1

during routine operation although short-term use or optical patha greater

than 2 km were possible

As discussed in Section Ill the long pathlengtb FT-IR spectrometer

was operated alongside the long pathlength DOAS systell as shown in Figure

V-1 The optical layout of the FT-IR system is preaented in more detail

in Figure V-2 The sets or mirrors of the two spectrometers were arrayed

in opposite directions but aligned side by side in a compact arrangement

which made possible simultaneous analyses of virtually the same air

mass The FT-IR spectrometer was housed in an air conditioned shed while

the multiple reflection mirror assembly outside was shaded from direct

sunlight by protective shields While the spectrometer system had an

initial height of 1 2 m (above ground level) designed into the optical

axis this was raised to a total of 24 m (8 ft) the C0111110n sampling

height required for all analytical techniques being compared during this

field study Massive concrete blocks were employed as support structures

to attain this sampling height

2 Acquisition of Spectra

Spectra were recorded at a pathlength of 1150 meters and 0125 1cm- resolution unapodized) Sixty-four scans interferograms) were

added during a 45-min period and then transformed (calculation time of

-25 min) to a single beam spectrum Each spectrUII of 128 K points was 1truncated and the spectral region from 400 to 3000 cm- which contained

the absorption bands of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 used for analysis was retained

and archived

Four to five spectra per hour were collected This rate or data

collection permitted a real-time examination of the quality of spectra

being recorded and such checks were consistently made during daytime and

early evening hours 0800-2200 PDT) During the noncritical period of

2200-0600 hours when nitric acid was expected to be below the detection

limit the FT-IR spectrometer was programed to conduct automatic

monitoring

expanded plot or the HN03 spectrum in the range 870-910 cm- 1 is presented

in Figure V-11 to which is added a middotqualitative single beam spectrum or 1clean ambient air at a pathlength of 1150 m The Q-branch at 896 1 cm-

was the most appropriate one for quantitative measureaent because or its

favorable half-width and minimal interference by ataaspheric water vapor

We restricted our measurements to the heights of the sharp absorption (Qshy

branch) features only since measurements which include the broad undershy

lying envelope were more susceptible to unknown interferences The 8854 1cm- Q-branch was totally free of interferences but its relatively

narrower line shape was more susceptible to distortion by noise while the 1strongest Q-branch at 8789 cm- was severely overlapped by a strong water

line

Of the numerous sharp features of the NH3 spectna depicted in Figure

V-3 the lines at 11034 and 8679 cm-1 though not the strongest suffer

the least interference by H2o and CO2 absorption lines and were therefore

the ones chosen for analysis The line positions of NH3 relative to those

of atmospheric H20 (and CO2) in the 1080-1120 cm-1 region are shown in

Figure V-5 The calibration procedure for trn3 was straightforward

Spectra were recorded at O 125 cm- 1 resolution for several NH3 pressures

in the range 02-1 torr which were measured to within 10005 torr

accuracy with an MKS Baratron capacitance manometer The NH3 samples were

transferred to a 25-cm cell with KBr windows and pressurized with N2 gas

to atmospheric pressure No measurable decay of IH3 concentration was

observed within the 15-minute period during which repeat spectra were

recorded for each sample These data yielded absorptivities (base 10) at

23degC and 740 torr total pressure of 182 cm-1 atm-1 for the 11034 cm-1

peak and 97 cm-1 atm- 1 for the 8679 cm- 1 peak with uncertainties of t5J

(two standard deviations for both values

A similar calibration procedure was not possible for HN03 because of

its significant decay to the walls of the 25-cm cell We determined our

high resolution absorptivity values relative to the data of Graham and

Johnston (1978) who made an accurate determination of the absorptivity of

the HN03 4 ( 1325 cm- 1 fundamental band at -2 cm-1 resolution using two

independent methods for generating HN03 ( for more details see also Graham

1975) We assigned Graham and Johnstons ( 1978 absorptivity value

feature in our 0125 cm- 1 resolution spectrum after S1100thing the latter

to -2 cm-1 resolution The absorptivity tor a Q-branch (eg 8961 cm- 1)

at O 125 cm-1 resolution was then determined from the intensity ratio of

the unsmoothed Q-branch to the smoothed P-branch

Smoothing removes the fine structure superimposed on the bandv4 envelope and in order to test the adequacy of tbe smoothing function

1employed measurements were carried out in which 2 cm-1 and 0125 cm-

resolution spectra were recorded alternately for an 11103 sample To take

into account the HN03 decay in the cell the 1315 cm-1 peak heights at 2

cm- 1 resolution were plotted against time as were those or the 0125 cm- 1

resolution spectra after having been smoothed to -2 m-1 resolution The

two curves were found to be indistinguishable indicating the accuracy or

the smoothing function applied The above procedure yielded a value of

52 plusmn 04 cm- 1 atm-1 for the absorptivity (base 10) of the HN03 peak at

896 1 cm- 1 (Q-branch height only) with the two standard deviation error

including that reported by Graham (1975) This value is in fact the same

as that we previously determined for this peak at 05 cm-1 resolution

(Tuazon et al 1980) Following the same method the absorptivity of the

8854 cm-1 Q-branch was found to be 61 plusmn 05 cm-1 ata- 1bull

The calibration procedure for HCHO was the sue as that for NH bull3Formaldehyde samples were pre-distilled from paraformaldehyde and

immediately used after collection in a liquid nitrogen cooled trap The

absorptivity value of the 2781 0 cm- 1 Q-branch an absorption peak well

isolated from H2o absorptions was determined to be 89 plusmn 05 cm- 1 atm-1

4 Treatment of Data

The quantitative analysis of species such as NH3 which possess

relatively narrow Q-branch features which are sufficiently resolved from

atmospheric H2o absorptions was normally straightforward The absorbance

(log 10 1 was derived directly from the single beaa spectrum and thus a

ratio plot against an actual background spectrum was not necessary Proshy

vided that the detector had a linear response 10

and I as determined from

a single beam spectrum had values on an arbitrary scale in which zero

corresponded to zero signal on the detector The appropriate differential

absorption coefficient such as those determined above and the absorption

pathlength had to be applied to the absorption intensity measured between

V-9

and I in order to convert to concentration units This procedure was10

followed for the 11034 and 8679 cm-1 lines of NH3 Estimates of the HN03 concentration could also be obtained from

single-beam spectra by employing the 8854 cmmiddot1 Q-branch However the

HN03 analysis was more reliably carried out using the 8961 cm-1 Q-branch

by ratioing the sample spectrum with a clean background spectrum a

procedure which improved the baseline and resulted in essentially complete

cancellation of a very weak H20 interference Background spectra were

chosen from those recorded at around midnight during low pollution days

since previous measurements (Spicer et al 1982) showed HN03 levels that

were much lower (lt1 ppb) than the FT-IR detection limit under these

conditions

The peak-to-peak noise level in the ratio spectrum was typically

00025 absorbance unit base 10) corresponding to a 250 1 signal to

peak-to-peak noise ratio for single spectral records The absorption

peaks used for the analyses were much wider than the frequency of random

noise such that peak heights as small as the noise level could be

detected above the noise itself Thus the detection sensitivities were

3-5 ppb for HN03 1-2 ppb for NH3 and 2-3 ppb for HCHO The lower

detection limit for each compound was realized when turbulence due to

temperature gradients andor wind were minimal for example during

nighttime hours)

The possible detection of N2o5 depended on how well its broad band

centered at 1246 cm- 1 ( 12) could be discerned from interfering H20

absorptions The H2o interferences were reduced by ratioing the sample

spectra against selected background spectra taken during those periods

(mid-morning to noon) when N2o5 was believed not to be present due to the

rapid photolysis of No3 radicals Although exact cancellation of the H2o absorptions was not possible the windows between these absorptions were

sufficient to define a baseline from which the presence of a broad absorpshy

tion contour could be distinguished From the literature value of 188

cm- 1 atmmiddot 1 for the absorptivity of the 1246 cm-1 peak (Graham 1975 Graham

and Johnston 1978) it was calculated that 5 ppb N2o5 at a pathlength of

1150 m would give a signal of -001 absorbance unit (base 10) approxishy

mately 4 times the peak-to-peak baseline noise of the ratio spectrum

V-10

The largest source of uncertainty in the analyses was the noise level

in the spectrum with other errors being generally negligible We

assigned to each peak height measurement the maxillum error which was

equal to the peak-to-peak noise level For HN03 this error was 4 ppb

The uncertainty arising from the error in the absorptivity (of the 8961

cm- 1 Q-branch in this case) increased with the concentration However

this contribution to the overall error limit was relatively small for the

range of HN03 concentrations encountered For example it increased the

t4 ppb error by only 10j when included in the error calculation for an

HN03 concentration of 25 ppb For NH concentrations i20 ppb the sum of uncertainties due to noise3

and error in the absorptivity of the 11034 cm-1 line was plusmn15 ppb At

higher concentrations the contribution from the absorptivity error became

relatively more important A detailed plot of this error contribution as

a function of concentration revealed that it is nearly linear in the

concentration range 20 to 100 ppb permitting the additional error to be

calculated from the empirical formula (0044( [NH3]-20) ppb Thus for the measurement of 60 ppb NH3 the total error can be calculated as [ 15 +

0 044 )( 60-20)] = plusmn33 ppb

For the range of HCH0 concentrations encountered in the 1986 Glendora

study the measurement errors were less than plusmn3 ppb

C Results and Discussion

As discussed in Section II our measurements were conducted in

conjunction with the CARB-sponsored Carbonaceous Species Methods

Comparison Study which occurred from 0800 PDT August 12 to 0800 PDT

August 21 1986 ln contrast with the low level of air pollution during

the 1985 Claremont summer field study this August 1986 measurement period

at Citrus College was characterized by moderately high levels of photoshy

chemical activity Except for the second day of measurements the maximum

hourly average o3 concentrations exceeded 200 ppb each day

The FT-IR spectra obtained were analyzed for the simultaneous concenshy

trations of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 The detailed instantaneous data are

August 17 due to a fault in archiving the data onto agnetic tapes the

FT-IR system provided continuous coverage of HCHO and 1H3 concentrations

since they were always above the respective detection 11llits of -2-3 ppb

and -1-15 ppb HN~ was generally above the -3-Ji ppb detection

sensitivity between 0800 hr and 2000 hr each day throughout the study

period As for the 1985 Claremont and the 1986 Torrance studies N2o5 was

not observed above the estimated detection limit of 4 ppb

The FT-IR analysis of formaldehyde was easily carried out with the

use of single-beam spectra since the HCHO infrared spectrum has a Qshy

branch at 27810 cm-1 well isolated from other atmospheric absorptions

HCHO was included as one of the species to be measured by FT-IR (except

during the first day) because of the need for a standard against which

other HCHO methods employed at this study could be compared Our

contribution to this aspect of the carbonaceous species study was to

provide HCHO measurements by both DOAS and FT-IR spectroscopy either

method of which can serve as a benchmark standard l comparison or the

two sets of spectroscopic data for HCHO has been discussed in Section IV

and comparison with the results of the other HCHO methods is currently

being carried out by Dr Douglas Lawson of the CARB

The NH3 concentrations observed in Glendora (Table V-2) during the

first six days or the field study (September 12-17 were generally in the

range of 2-4 ppb These levels are similar to those aeasured during the

1985 Claremont study for the periods when there was no localized transport

of NH3 to the latter site from nearby agricultural sources NH3 levels

during the remaining days (August 18-21 were more variable and generally

about twice the above range of values (Figure V-6 he erratic pattern

found in the NH3 concentrations during these three days which is also

noticeable in the more well-defined HCHO and HN03 concentration profiles

(Figure V-6 could well be due to the prevailing wind conditions

The maximum instantaneous concentrations of HN~ attained 20 ppb or

higher during the eight days that the FT-IR measurements provided detailed

HN03 profiles (Figure V-6) with the highest concentration of 33 ppb being

observed on August 19 Comparison of our Dasibi ozone data with the FT-IR

measurements of HN03 showed a strong correspondence between the HN03 and

maxima This is illustrated in Figure V-7 for the pollution episodeso3 of August 15-16 where the hourly average HN03 concentrations (by FT-IR)

VI AMBIENT CONCENTRATIONS OF PAH AND NITRO-PAH

A Introduction

The PAH emitted from combustion sources exhibit a wide range of

volatility and are hence distributed in the atmosphere between the gas

and particle phases As we have shown previously (Arey et al 1987)

complementary sampling techniques are required to obtain a comprehensive

data set concerning the concentrations of volatile and non-volatile PAH

and their derivatives in the atmosphere Thus the volatile 2-ring PAH such as naphthalene which are present almost entirely in the gas-phase

can be quantitatively collected on Tenax GC solid adsorbent The nonshy

volatile 5-ring and larger PAH and 3- to 4-ring nitro-PAH are particle

associated and are collected totally on the Hi-vol filters The 3- and 4-

ring PAH of intermediate volatility and the 2-ring nitro-PAH can be

collected on PUF plugs as well as on the filters indicating that they are

either present mainly in the gas-phase or are blown-off the filter

during the collection period Thus three different collection media were

employed for the ambient air sampling at Citrus College Tenax-GC solid

adsorbent PUF plugs and Hi-vol filters The ambient air samples were

collected from August 12 to August 21 with 12-hr day (0800-2000 PDT) and

night (2000-0800 PDT) sampling intervals

B Experimental

1 Sampling Media Cleaning Procedure

Tenax-GC solid adsorbent was Soxhlet extracted in a cellulose

thimble for -5 hr in a 64 (vv) acetonehexane mixture After packing in

Pyrex tubes (using precleaned glass wool) the Tenax cartridges were

conditioned for -4 hr by heating at 275degC with nitrogen flowing through

them at -20 mL min- 1 The Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters

and PUF plugs were cleaned by Soxhlet extraction for -16 hr in methylene

chloride followed by another 16 hr extraction with methanol

2 Tenax-GC Cartridges Sampling and Analysis

Two sizes of Tenax-GC cartridge were used for the collection of

gas-phase PAH at different flow rates Low-flow cartridges consisted of

10 cm x 4 nnn id Pyrex tubes packed with 0 1 g of Tenax GC solid

adsorbent with sampling flow rates of -1 L min-1 yielding an -06 m3

VI-1

volume of air for each 12-hr sampling period High-flow cartridges

consisted of 10 cm x 1 cm id Pyrex tubes packed with 06 g of Tenax-GC

and operated at flow rates of -10 L min-1 resulting in -6 m3 of air

sampled during a 12-hr period Each low-flow cartridge was equipped with

back-up Tenax cartridge placed in series downstream from the first

cartridge to check for breakthrough

After sampling the Tenax cartridges were stored in dry-ice transshy

ported to SAPRC and stored in a freezer prior to analysis

For analysis deuterated internal standards were added to the lowshy

and high-flow Tenax cartridges respectively as follows in microg)

naphthalene-d5 (18 16) biphenyl-d10 (07 10) phenanthrene-d 10 (06

06) The low- and high-flow cartridges were eluted with 2 mL and 10 mL respectively of diethyl ether which was then solvent exchanged to -02

mL of acetonitrile (using a micro-Snyder apparatus for the high-flow

cartridges)

PAH identifications and quantifications were made by combined gas

chromatographymass spectrometry (GCMS) with multiple ion detection

(MID) as described in detail below

3 High-Volume Filters Followed by PUF Plugs Sampling and Analysis

Two high-volume sampler systems consisting of a TIGF filter

follow by four PUF plugs (-9 cm diameter x 5 cm thickness) [see Figure VI-

1] were run at -23 SCFM for 12 hr intervals yielding ambient samples

collected from -1000 m3 of air

Prior to analysis the PUF plugs were combined into six samples

consisting of a single day sample and a single nighttime sample from the

early portion of the study single day and single night samples from the

latter part of the study and composite samples from four day and four

nights Specifically the samples were (11) August 13 0800-2000 hr

(2) August 13-14 2000-0800 hr (3) August 15 16 17 and 18 0800-2000

hr (4) August 15-16 16-17 17-18 18-19 2000-0800 hr (5 August 20

0800-2000 hr (6 August 20-21 2000-0800 hr

The samples from a single 12-hr day or night collection period (ie

samples 1 2 5 and 6) each consisted of eight PUF plugs (four from each

of the two Hi-vols used and these were combined and extracted together

The composite samples 3 and 4 were each analyzed in two parts ~UF

plugs 1-3 (see Figure VI-1) and to check for breakthrough of the more

Soxhlet extracted overnight (-16 hr) with methylene chloride concentrated

by rotary evaporation under vacuum to -4 mL filtered through 045 microm

Acrodiscs (Gelman Sci) and concentrated further under a stream of

nitrogen to -500 microL

The extracts were fractionated by HPLC using an Altex semi-prepashy

rative scale Ultrasphere Silica column (1 cm x 25 cm) Figure VI-2 shows

a typical HPLC profile of a PUF plug extract together with the mobile

phase program employed A fraction containing the PAH was collected from

4 min to 22 min and a nitroarene-containing fraction from 22 min to 34

min The fractions were concentrated by rotary evaporation then taken

just to dryness under a stream of nitrogen After dissolving in acetoshy

nitrile or CH2c12 the PAH and nitroarene fractions were analyzed by

GCMS-MID as described below

4 Hi-Vols with TIGF Filters Sampling and Analysis

Seven Hi-vol samplers each equipped with a 10 microm cut-off inlet

were employed for POM collection The samplers were run at -40 SCFM

yielding an ambient sample collected from -800 m3 of air for each Hi-vol

over a 12-hr sampling period Two Hi-vols were employed solely for the

collection of POM used for mutagenicity testing The TIGF filters from

the remaining five Hi-vols were combined into six samples corresponding to

the PUF plug samples described above ie samples 1 and 2 and samples

5 and 6 comprised the single day and night samples from August 13-14 and

August 20-21 respectively and samples 3 and 4 were the composite day

and night samples from August 15-16 16-17 17-18 and 18-19 The filter

extraction and work-up procedure was as shown in Scheme VI-1 Each sample

was spiked with deuterated internal standards as follows (single 12-hr

5 GCMS Analyses

Compound identifications and quantifications were made using

either a Finnigan 3200 quadrupole GCMS interfaced to a Teknivent data

system or a Hewlett Packard 5890 GC interfaced to a Hewlett Packard 5970

mass selective detector MSD) both operated in the electron impact mode

(70 eV) The GC separations were done either on a 60 m DB-5 fused silica

capillary column with a cool on-column injection system (J ampWScientific

Inc) or on a 30 m DB-5 fused silica capillary column with splitless

injection Both columns eluted directly into the MS ion source

Calibration curves for the GCMS-MID quantification of the PAH were

made for the molecular ion peaks of the PAH using the corresponding

deuterated species (or the deuterated species most closely matched in

volatility and retention characteristics) as an internal standard The

C Results

1 Volatile PAH Sampled on Tenax-GC Cartridges

The most abundant PAH collected on the Tenaz-GC cartridges were

naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene GC~ analysis of Tenax

samples in the full scanning mode (rather than the MID mode used for

quantification) showed that not unexpectedly several alkylbenzenes were

also very abundant Table VI-1 sUJ11Darizes the ambient concentrations (ng

m-3) of the volatile PAH measured For reasons which will be detailed

below the naphthalene data from the low-flow cartridges have been

utilized while the data for the remaining PAH have been taken from the

values obtained from the high-flow cartridges

In Appendix B Table B-1 the microg quantities of each PAH measured on

the low-flow Tenax cartridges (for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications)

and the calculated total volumes for each sample are listed Replicate

injections gave reproducible values for naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylshy

naphthalene while the levels of biphenyl fluorene and phenanthrene were

too low for accurate quantification Also listed in Table B-1 are the

quantities of PAH observed on the back-up Tenax cartridges which were

also generally too low for accurate quantification Table B-2 lists the

microg quantities measured and volumes sampled for the high-flow cartridges

Since the volumes of air sampled on the high-flow cartridges was a factor

of 10 greater than the low-flow cartridges biphenyl fluorene and phenshy

anthrene could be accurately determined and in addition acenaphthylene

and acenaphthene were measured

Only traces of naphthalene were observed on the Tenax cartridges

which were back-up cartridges for the low-flow Tenax ie less than a

few percent of that measured on the primary cartridge Therefore

naphthalene was collected quantitatively on the low-flow Tenax Table VI-

2 compares the ambient naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene concenshy

trations calculated from the low-flow and high-flow Tenax cartridges The

high-flow values for naphthalene were consistently lower than those

obtained from the low-flow Tenax samples indicating that naphthalene was

not collected quantitatively at a collection rate of 10 L min- 1 at the

ambient temperatures encountered at Citrus College Hence the low-flow

Tenax values for naphthalene are given in Table VI-1

( There is good agreement between the nighttime concentrations of the

1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes calculated from the low- and high-flow Tenax

samples For the daytime samples when the observed concentrations were

generally low the high-flow values tended to be somewhat higher than the

low-flow values and were judged to be more accurate It should be noted

that the low-flow values for 1-methylnaphthalene have been corrected for a

significant interference which was observed on the back-up Tenax

2 PAH Sampled on PUF Plugs

GCMS analysis of the HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts in

which the PAH elute (see Figure VI-2) showed this fraction to contain many

less abundant alkyl-PAH and dibenzothiophene as well as fluorene phenshy

anthrene anthracene fluoranthene and pyrene It must be remembered that

these PAH will be distributed between the gaseous and particle phases in

ambient air and that the quantities measured on the PUF plugs are the sum

of the PAH in the gas phase and the PAH initially present on the POM but

blown-off during the collection period

The ambient concentrations of five PAH and the sulfur heterocycle

dibenzothiophene measured on the PUF plugs are given in Table vI3 The

most abundant PAH collected on the PUF plugs was fluorene From the

composite samples in which the fourth PUF plugs were analyzed separately

it was obvious that fluorene (mw 166) and PAH of higher volatility were

not collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs since substantial amounts

were present on the fourth PUF (see Table VI-3) Consistent with fluorene

not being collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs the ambient concenshy

trations of fluorene listed in Table VI-1 from the Tenax cartridge quanshy

tifications are -2-5 fold higher than those listed in Table VI-3 The

ambient concentrations of phenanthrene measured on the PUF plugs and Tenax

cartridges agree to within better than a factor of two

Figure VI-4 shows the GCMS-MID traces of naphthalene and alkylshy

naphthalenes for the Tenax and PUF samples from the evening of 813-1486

From the Tenax sample trace it is clear that naphthalene was the most

abundant species (at a measured concentration of -5000 ng m-3)

Comparing the Tenax and PUF sample traces it is apparent that naphthalene

was retained on the PUF plugs only to a minor extent (with a measured

concentration of -2 ng m-3 Interestingly although not quantitatively

collected on the PUF plugs the presence of dimethylnaphthalenes in

ambient air is apparent from the PUF samples

3 Diurnal Variations in the Volatile PAH

The ambient concentrations of naphthalene measured for 12-hr day

and night sampling intervals throughout the Citrus College study are shown

in Figure VI-5 It can be seen from these data that the naphthalene conshy

centrations were generally higher during the evening sampling intervals

and that there was a trend toward higher concentrations in the latter part

of the study

The daytime and nighttime concentrations of _ and 2-methylnaphthashy

lene are shown in Figure VI-6 As observed for naphthalene the nighttime

concentrations were generally higher The concentration of 2-methylshy

naphthalene was consistently higher than that of 1-methylnaphthalene The

concentration profiles of the methylnaphthalenes were remarkably similar

perhaps indicating a common source and similar atmospheric loss processes

Reaction with the hydroxyl radical is expected to be the major loss

process for both species with essentially identical atmospheric lifetimes

for 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987a)

All of the volatile PAH were generally more abundant during the

nighttime than daytime sampling intervals (see Table VI-1 and VI-3

Meteorological factors such as inversion heights may certainly have played

a role in this observed trend at Citrus College bu it can be seen that

these diurnal variations are not solely due to meteorology by comparing

the diurnal profiles of species of differing reactiviy For example the

GCMS-MID traces for the molecular ion of biphenyl a11d acenaphthene (mz

154 for a typical daytime and nighttime Tenax sample are shown in Figure

VI-7 As seen from this figure acenaphthene [the ioore reactive of these

PAH (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b] was generally significantly more

abundant in the nighttime samples presumably beig removed by rapid

reaction with the OH radical during daylight hours

GCMS-MID traces of daytime and nighttime PUF samples showing the

analyses of isomeric PAH of differing reactivity are shown in Figures VI-8

and VI-9 While phenanthrene was abundant on both ~~e day and nighttime

PUF plug samples the relative abundance of anthracen~ to phenanthrene was

consistently higher at night Figure VI-8) Similarly acephenanthrylene

an isomer of fluoranthene and pyrene expected to be more reactive than

these PAH towards ozone (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) was generally not

observed in the daytime PUF samples from Citrus College (Figure VI-9)

4 Nitroarenes Sampled on PUF Plugs

The HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts eluting from 22 to 34

min (Figure VI-2) contained the volatile nitroarene species The most

abundant nitroarenes were 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene GCMS analysis in

the full scanning mode showed that this nitroarene-containing HPLC

fraction also contained alkylnitrophenols

Figure Vl-10 shows GCMS-MID traces from a typical analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug extract for 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene (NN) As

seen from this figure identification was based on the presence of several

characteristic fragment ions as well as retention time matching with the

1-nitronaphthalene-d7 internal standard Figure VI-11 shows the presence

of several peaks at mz 187 which elute after 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene

These peaks were identified as methylnitronaphthalenes ( 14 isomers are

possible on the basis of the presence of characteristic [M-N02]+ and [Mshy

HN02J+ fragment ions as well as the mz 187 molecular ion

GCMS-MID traces of a standard mixture of the three nitrobiphenyl

isomers and two isomers of nitroacenaphthene are shown in Figure VI-12

5-Nitroacenaphthene has previously been reported in ambient air (Tokiwa et

al 1981) At Torrance CA during a wintertime high-NOx episode we did

not observe nitroacenaphthene but measured high concentrations of the

isomeric species 3-nitrobiphenyl (Arey et al 1987) In Figure Vl-13 the

[Mr ions of the standard mixture are shown together with the [M)+ ions

and characteristic fragment ion traces obtained from the analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug sample As at Torrance CA the nitroarene isomer

of mw 199 observed at Citrus College was clearly 3-nitrobiphenyl

Table Vl-4 gives the microg quantities of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and

3-nitrobiphenyl collected on the PUF plugs at Citrus College From the

fourth PUF plugs of the composite samples it can be seen that 3-

nitrobiphenyl was quantitatively collected on the first three PUF plugs

Particularly during the daytime samples some breakthrough of 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene occurred In addition to these nitroarene species

traces of 9-nitroanthracene were observed in most of the Citrus College

PUF plug samples but the levels present were too low to quantify

5 PAH Sampled on TIGF Filters

As described in Section B above the extracts of the TIGF filters

were fractionated by HPLC HPLC fractions 2-5 (see Figure VI-3) were

collected as the PAH fraction with fractions 6-7 being chosen to include

the n i troarenes Through the use of deuterated internal standards it

became apparent that the higher molecular weight PAH such as dibenz(ah)shy

anthracene were eluting in HPLC fractions 6-7 The data reported here

for the PAH on filters will be for the lower molecular weight species

ie fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and

benzo(a)pyrene Fractions 6-7 will be analyzed for the higher molecular

weight PAH and the full range of data for PAH on particles will be given

in our final report for our on-going CARB project (Contract No A5-185-

32) A survey of ambient concentrations of selected polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons (PAH) at various locations in California

Table VI-6 lists values for fluoranthane pyrene benz(a)anthracene

chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene in the NBS SRM 1649 an air

particulate sample collected in Washington DC The values recently

reported by the NBS (Wise et al 1986) for analyses by GC and HPLC with

fluorescence detection along with our values determined by GCMS-MID are

given The extraction and clean-up procedures we used for the SRM

particles were as described in Section B for the Citrus College POM sample

analyses As can be seen from Table VI-6 the agreement between our

values and those reported by NBS is generally excellent

The microg quantities of the five PAH measured in the Citrus College POM

samples for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications are given in Appendix B

Table B-3 The concentrations of these five PAH in ng m-3 (averaging the

replicate values) are given in Table VI-7 Two additional samples 7 and

8 repeat day and night composites are also listed in Tables B-3 and

VI-7 It was found that in taking the benzenemethanol extracts to a

constant weight a significant fraction of the deuterated internal stanshy

dards fluoranthene-d 10 pyrene-d 10 and even 2-nitrofluoranthene-d9 were

lost The use of internal standards should of course allow for correcshy

tion of such losses Since all of the filters from each day or night

comprising these composites had not been extracted we made replicate

composite samples and extracted these replicates with dichloromethane As

can be seen from Table VI-7 the composites and the repeat composites

VI-28

agree to within better than a factor of two In our current procedure for

POM analyses the benzenemethanol extract is not taken to dryness

6 Nitroarenes Sampled on TlGF Filters

The ambient concentrations of the nitrofluoranthenes and nitroshy

pyrenes measured for the six Citrus College POM samples are given in Table

VI-7 As we have observed previously (Pitts et al 1985c Ramdahl et al

1986 Arey et al 1987) 2-nitrofluoranthene was the most abundant

particle-associated nitroarene The GCMS-MID trace of the molecular ion

for the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (mz 247) from the August 20-

21 1986 2000-0800 PDT sample is shown in Figure VI-14 This sample

VII AMBIENT MUTAGENICITY

A Introduction

For the past several years the mutagenicity of ambient P0M has been

recognized as a characteristic of polluted urban atmospheres Further-

more although airborne particulate matter contains many carcinogenic PAH

its mutagenic activity does not resemble that of the PAH which require

mammalian metabolic activation (S9) as a requisite for expression of their

mutagenicity in the Ames Salmonella test Instead ambient P0M is

directly active ie expressing mutagenicity without the addition of

S9 and thus showing that other classes of organic chemicals which are

direct-acting mutagens are also present in ambient air

As an integral part of the CSMCS carried out at Citrus College

Glendora we measured the mutagenicity of collected 12-hour particulate

samples both with and without mammalian metabolic activation on

Salmonella strain TA98 Additionally we obtained mutagenicity data on

strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6

B Experimental

Sample Preparation for Mutagenicity Testing As noted in Section

II I POM samples were collected on a 12-hr basis throughout the study

period from 0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT The collected particulate

matter from two Hi-vols fitted with 10 microm cut-off inlets was weighed and

the filters Soxhlet extracted for 16-hr using a benzenemethanol (8020

azeotrope The solvent was removed under vacuum and the extracts were

taken to dryness under a stream of dry nitrogen Prior to mutagenicity

testing the sample extracts were stored in the dark at -75degC On the day

of the test each extract was taken up in DMS0 using a 20-minute

sonication and serial dilutions in DMS0 were made from this stock

solution

Tester Strains Ames Salmonella strain TA98 was used because of its

sensitivity to atmospheric particulate mutagens such as the nitroarenes

(Rosenkranz and Mermelstein 1983 and each particulate extract was tested

on this strain both in the presence and the absence of manmalian metabolic ( activation (S9 Each sample was also tested on strains TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6 in the absence of S9 as a possible indication of nitroarene

VII-1

mutagenicity TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 are isolates of TA98 which are

deficient in a nitroreductase Rosenkranz and Speck 1975 McCoy et al

1981 and a transacetylase enzyme (McCoy et al 1983 Orr et al 1985

Saito et al 1985 respectively The deficiency or these enzymes which

are required in the activation of many nitroarenes to penultimate

mutagens renders these strains less sensitive than TA98 to many mutagenic

nitroarenes Thus when a complex mixture exhibits less activity on

TA98NR or TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 it may be an indication of the

contribution of ni troarenes to the mutagenic activity of that sample

Table VII-1 shows the response of TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to

TA98 for several mutagenic atmospheric nitroarenes

The strains were cultured in 40 mL of L-broth for 12 hours at 37degC

with shaking The culture density was estimated by its absorbance at 550

nm and each strain was diluted with fresh medium to an absorbance

previously calculated to yield the standard culture density of 109 colony

forming units per mL (approximately 028 absorbance units) After

dilution the cultures were maintained in an ice bath for the duration of

the test The titer of each culture was determined by dilution and

plating on histidine-supplemented medium E The standard genotypic

markers which were routinely checked were crystal violet sensitivity UV

sensitivity and ampicillin resistance Three standard positive-control

mutagens were tested on each strain 1) 2-nitrofluorene a positive

control mutagen which we have used for the past ten years to check the

response of TA98 was also used to check the reduced response of TA98NR

relative to TA98 2 18-dinitropyrene was used to check the reduced

response of TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 and TA98NR for nitroarenes

which require the Salmonella transacetylase for activation and 3)

quercetin was used to check the equivalent response of these strains to

non-nitroarene mutagens Additionally benzo(apyrene was tested on

TA98(+S9) to check the response of this strain to indirect mutagens

Our testing protocol consistently results in somewhat higher

mutagenicities than other laboratories which we attribute primarily to

the use of L-broth instead of Oxoid broth to culture the tester strains

L-broth has about twice the amount of histidine as does Oxoid and its use

results in larger amounts of histidine on the test plate Because it is

the limiting growth factor a higher amount of histidine results in a

higher number of cells on the test plate and hence a higher number of

revertants (Maron and Ames 1983) The use of L-broth also results in a

somewhat denser background lawn of unreverted Salmonella but colony

morphology and visibility are unaffected

S9 Mix Arochlor 1254-induced rat liver S9 was prepared by Litton

Bionetics Inc according to the method of Ames et al (1975) and containshy

ed 26 mg mL- 1 protein (manufacturers analysis) NADP was purchased from

Boehringer Mannheim and glucose-6-phosphate was purchased from Sigma

Chemical Company

The S9 mix was prepared by the standard protocol (Ames et al 1975

Maron and Ames 1983) with 001 ml S9 per plate c2i vv mix) This S9

concentration was chosen since we have previously found a 2i vv mix to be

optimal in activating ambient particulate extracts collected in southern

California Frequently the use of S9 in testing ambient POM results in a

net decrease in activity as deactivation of direct mutagens overrides the

presumed activation of indirect mutagens such as the PAH Many

nitroarenes are also subject to this S9 suppression of activity

VI-3

Testing Protocol The standard Ames Salmonella plate incorporation

mutagenicity test was performed according to the method of Ames and coshy

workers (Ames et al 1975 Maron and Ames 1983) with some modifications to

improve its accuracy and precision (Belser et al 1981) Because of the

large number of plates required for the complete set of samples the

extracts were assayed in two tests 1) TA98 with and without S9 and 2)

TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 without S9 By dividing the tests by strain the

variation in response within one sample set was minimized Each extract

was tested in triplicate at eight doses chosen to logarithmically span the

region of linear response observed in the past for ambient P0M In

anticipation of lower activities on TA98NR and TA981 8-DNP6 the doses

chosen for these strains were twice as great as those for TA98 Hence

each sample was tested at 3 6 11 21 38 70 135 and 250 microg plate- 1 on

TA98 and at 6 12 22 42 76 140 270 and 500 microg plate-1 on TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6

Each test was performed in a single afternoon by means of a procedure

designed to improve intraday precision Belser et al 1981) Darkroom

conditions were employed throughout to prevent any photodecomposi tion of

the samples which might occur under laboratory fluorescent 1 ights The

plates were incubated at 37degC for 63 hours and counted with a Biotran

automatic colony counter (New Brunswick Scientific) directly interfaced to

a microcomputer ( Apple II) The extract potencies or specific activishy

ties were obtained by 1 inear regression analysis of the dose-response

data in the region of linear response The slope of the dose-response 1curve is the specific activity in revertants microg- The ratios of the

specific activities on strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98

were then calculated

From the specific activities the extract weights and the weights of

the particulate matter collected the potencies of the particulate matter

or mutagen loadings in revertants per mg of particulate matter collected

were calculated Finally from the specific activities the extract

weights and the volumes of sampled air the airborne mutagenicity conshy

centrations or mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of sampled air

were calculated

in Tables VII-2 to VII-5 The concurrent General Motors Laboratories

mutagen density data (J Siak T L Chan and G T Wolff private

connnunication) are included in Table VII-5 for comparison As we have

observed before in southern California the sampled POM was principally

directly active the average direct activity (TA98 -S9 was 345 rev m-3

as compared to 332 rev m-3 with metabolic activation TA98 +S9 Figure

VII-1 shows the mutagen density with and without S9 observed during this

study The values are intermediate in the range of mutagen densities we

have observed before in southern California and followed a general trend

towards higher values at the end of the study Figure VII-2 shows the

TA98 +S9 to TA98 -S9) ratio together with the TA98 (-S9) mutagen

density which are anticorrelated Thus sampling periods with higher

direct mutagenicity tended to be those which exhibited less promutagenshy

icity and greater direct activity This observation is consistent in a

qualitative manner with the presence in ambient POM of nitroarenes

The final nighttime sampling period during this study 820-2186

2000-0800 PDT) was unusual because of the high levels of volatile and nonshy

volatile nitroarenes present in the atmosphere For example the 2-nitroshy

fluoranthene concentration was a factor of ~5 greater than on the previous

day and the 1-nitronaphthalene concentration increased by over a factor of

two Concurrent observations of the presence of the nitrate radical

indicated that chemistry could have been occurring on this nightN2o5 Our measured mutagen density however declined by a factor of two

inconsistent with these other observations Moreover in contrast to our

results researchers at General Motors Laboratories using CH2c12 as an

extraction solvent observed a significant increase in mutagenicity (TA98

-S9) from the daytime 82086 0800-2000 PDT) sample to the nighttime

(820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) sample in their tests Since we had used a

benzene-methanol azeotrope as the extraction solvent system we decided to

retest the POM collected during these final two sampling periods using

dichloromethane as the extraction solvent

For this second mutagenicity test using CH2c12-extraction POM

collected on TGF filters in Hi-vol samplers modified to allow PUF plugs

to be placed downstream from the filters was employed These modified Hishy

vol samplers were operated at a flow rate or 23 SCFM instead of the

conventional 40 SCFM) to ensure that the flow controller remained

operative One filter from the daytime (82086 0800-2000 PDT) and one

filter from the nighttime 820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) collection period

were Soxhlet extracted for 16 hours with CH2c12 and tested on TA98 -S9)

The results or this collection and mutagenicity test are given in

Table VII-6 together with the data for our previous test of the benzene-methanol extracts As can be seen from the TSP data the modified

samplers collected more particulate matter than the standard Hi-vol as

expected since these Hi-vols were not equipped with a size-selective

inlet This was not expected to have greatly affected the mutagenicity

results however because very little mutagenicity is present on particles

larger than -10 micro

The more polar benzene-methanol solvent system extracted much more

material than did CH2c12 bull Despite the larger amount of polar material

present in the benzene-methanol samples the mutagen density for the

nighttime sample is three-fold lower than for the corresponding CH2c12-

extracted sample In contrast the mutagen density for the benzeneshy

methanol daytime sample is somewhat higher than for the corresponding

CH2c12-extracted sample Apparently the polar material in the benzeneshy

methanol extract of the nighttime sample inhibited the mutagenicity of

this extract probably through toxic or bacteriostatic action In

contrast the mutagenici ty of the polar compounds in the daytime sample

overcame any inhibitory effect

These observations illustrate the inherent compromises in choosing a

solvent system for extracting ambient POM The benzene-methanol solvent

system was chosen precisely because it extracts more polar material than

does CH2c12 and does not generate the artifactual mutagenicity associated

with the use of acetonitrile Indeed because inhibitory compounds may be

of the same polarity as mutagens every solvent system must result in an

underestimation of the mutagenicity of ambient POM This underscores the

need for identification and quantification of ambient mutagens Once

identified and tested for mutagenicity in their pure form the known

mutagens in a sample can be quantified and an accurate sum of their

mutagenicities can be obtained

VIII CONCLUSIONS

The objectives of SAPRCs involvement in the ARB-funded CSMCS study

held at Citrus College Glendora CA during the period August 12-21

1986 were met Using long pathlength differential optical absorption and

Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopic techniques the

ambient concentrations of N02 HONO HCHO HN03 NH3 and the N03 radical

were monitored in an essentially continuous mode throughout this study

period Since these data were obtained using absolute in-situ spectroshy

scopic methods they have served as benchmark data for the evaluation of

other more portable measurement methods for the determination of HCHO

and HN03 concentrations during the SCAQS carried out in 1987

Based upon the experimental methods used and ambient air concentshy

ration data obtained in our recent study at El Camino Conmtunity College

Torrance we were able to employ a complementary set of sampling techshy

niques to provide a comprehensive data set concerning the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of both volatile and non-volatile PAH and nitroshy

arenes during this study at Citrus College Ambient atmospheric concenshy

tration data were obtained for the following PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-

methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene

phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)shy

anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene and the following

nitroarenes 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3- and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene The ambient concentrations of

the PAH cover a very large range (gt1000) with the most volatile PAH naphshy

thalene being the most abundant Indeed the naphthalene concentration

exceeded 1 ppb during the 12-hr nighttime period 2000-0800 PDT on August

20-21 and averaged 0 7 ppb (3700 ng m-3) over the entire study period

The next most abundant PAH were the 1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes with 2-

methylnaphthalene being about twice as abundant as 1-methylnaphthalene

The ambient concentrations of the PAH exhibited diurnal variations

with the concentrations generally being higher during the nighttime

sampling periods than during the daytime periods This diurnal variation

can most readily be seen for the volatile PAH which were sampled onto the

high and low flow Tenax cartridges and for which individual 12-hr analyses

were carried out This diurnal variation could in general be due to

VIII-1

differing daynight emission rates meteorology (with lower inversion

heights and hence higher concentrations during the nighttime periods

andor differing atmospheric removal rates due to chemical reactions The

observation (Table VI-1 that the magnitude of the diurnal variation

depended on the specific PAH with the largest variations being for the

most chemically reactive PAH indicates that part of this variation was

due to chemical removal of the PAH during daytime hours

The 2-3 ring PAH monitored using the Tenax cartridge system all react

with the OH radical during daylight hours (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and

Aschmann 1987b) with expected lifetimes due to this OH radical reaction

of approximately 3 days for biphenyl and fluorene and 2-12 hrs for the

other PAH The PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene acenaphthene

acenaphthylene and phenanthrene also react to a lesser extent with N2o5bull

In addition acenaphthene and acenaphthylene also react with N03 radicals

(Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) bull These andor radical removalN2o5 N03 processes were likely to be of minor significance during this study since

the N03 radical (and hence N2o5) concentrations were low In addition

acenaphthylene reacts with Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) with thiso3 removal process again being most important during daytime Interestingly

the ratio (average nighttime concentrationaverage daytime concentration)

correlates well with the OH radical reaction rate constant (which varies

from 7 x 10-12 cm3 molecule- 1 s-1 for biphenyl to 1 1 x 10-10 cm3 moleshy1cule-1 s- for acenaphthylene (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and Aschmann

1987b) as shown by the plot in Figure VIII-1 This good correlation

confirms our expectation that daytime reaction with the OH radical is an

important atmospheric removal process for the PAH present in the gas

phase

The nitroarenes also exhibit a diurnal concentration profile as

shown in Figure VIII-2 which gives our earlier data from Torrance CA

(Winer et al 1987) as well as from Citrus College Again this observed

diurnal variation in the nitroarene concentrations can be due to differing

emission rates differing formation rates from their parent PAH during

transport through the atmosphere meteorology or differing removal rates

during daytime and nighttime periods Our data for the PAH (Figure VIII-1)

show that meteorology at Citrus College had a relatively minor effect of

the order of 20J (estimated from the intercept representing no OH radical

( reaction) on the daynight concentration ratio Further it is expected

(Atkinson et al 1987) that the atmospheric OH radical reactions of the

nitroarenes will be relatively slow Hence since 3-nitrobiphenyl is not

expected to be emitted and the daytimenighttime emission rates of the

nitronaphthalenes are not likely to vary significantly the observed difshy

ferences in the daynight concentration profiles for 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl strongly suggest differing formation rates

In particular our observation that the daytime concentrations of 3-nitroshy

biphenyl are always higher than the nighttime concentration ( in total

contrast to the situation for the PAH) shows that 3-nitrobiphenyl must be

made in the atmosphere during daytime hours Indeed we have shown from

laboratory studies (Atkinson et al 1987) that the daytime OH radical

reaction with biphenyl (the only significant atmospheric chemical removal

process for biphenyl) forms 3-nitrobiphenyl in approximately 5j yield

1- and 2-Nitronaphthalene are also formed from the reaction of OH radicals

with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) but these nitroarenes can also be

formed from the nighttime reaction of naphthalene with N2o5 (Atkinson et

al 1987)

In our previous study in Torrance CA (Winer et al 1987) N03 radicals were not present during nighttime hours and hence the N2o5 forshy

mation route to the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes was not operative and the

daytime concentrations of the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes and 3-nitroshy

biphenyl were higher than during the nighttime as expected from a daytime

formation pathway via OH radical reaction from their parent PAH In

contrast at Citrus College N03 radicals were observed on several

evenings and both daytime and nighttime formation of 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene was hence possible (note that 3-nitrobiphenyl could only be formed

during the daytime) Indeed while the daytime 3-nitrobiphenyl concenshy

trations were higher than the nighttime concentrations the 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene concentrations were as high or higher during the

nights Even more interesting is the observation that during daytime the

1- and 2-nitronaphthalene concentrations were comparable consistent with

the similar formation yields from the daytime OH radical-initiated reacshy

tions with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) During nighttime however

the 1-nitronaphthalene concentrations were significantly higher than the

2-nitronaphthalene concentrations consistent with nighttime formation

from N2o5 reaction with naphthalene for which the 1- and 2-nitronaphthashy

lene yields are 15J and 7J respectively (Atkinson et al 1987

The ambient nitroarene concentrations also vary widely from compound

to compound and as with the PAH the most volatile nitroarenes are again

the most abundant Indeed as shown in Table VIII-1 the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl

(measured at both Torrance (Winer et al 1987) and Citrus College are

comparable to the ambient concentrations of fluoranthene and (not shown)

pyrene and are generally an order of magnitude higher than the concenshy

trations of 2-nitrofluoranthene the most abundant particle-associated

nitroarene

As noted in previous sections of this report the PAH themselves are

not directly mutagenic in the Ames assay without microsomal activation

The ambient atmospheric concentrations of the particle-associated nitroshy

arenes (which are direct-acting mutagens when combined with their

mutagenic activities (Table VII-1) allow the ambient mutagenic densities

resulting from the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (by far the most

abundant particle-associated nitroarenes to be calculated Table Vlll-2

8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene for the six time-periods for

nitropyrenes ranged from approximately 1-9 rev m-3_ 2-Nitrofluoranthene

buted by the nitroarenes of molecular weight 247

These calculated nitrofluoranthene and nitropyrene mutagen densities

account for typically 10J of the measured ambient mutagenicity It is

difficult to cite a definite numerical contribution of the nitrofluorshy

anthenes and nitropyrenes to ambient mutagenicity due to potential

problems in the Ames assay as discussed in Section VII above This 10J

figure for the contribution of the particle-associated nitroarenes to

ambient mutagenicity is consistent with the values given by Arey et al

(1988) and shows that the majority ie typically 90j of the mutagenishy

city of ambient POM is presently unaccounted for Ihis as yet unaccountshy

ed for direct-acting mutagenicity could be associated with other PAH-

VIII-6

( derivatives formed in the atmosphere during transport from source to

receptor or from other classes of organics Further work to attempt to

determine the identity of these other mutagens and their sources (direct

emissions versus atmospheric formation) is clearly necessary

In the Carbonaceous Soecies Mthoos Catparison Study in August 1986 at Citrus COllege Glendora CA the ambient concentrations of N~ HONO and HCHO were measured by long pathlength a1rrerent1a1 optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) Ambient concentrations of HNO]t NH3 and HCHO were measured by long patblength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy Signiticant concentrations of these pollutants were observed with mixing rat1s ot up to approximately 140 45 30~ 20 and 15 parts-per-billion (ppb) for N02 HONO ~bull HCHO and NH3 respectively being determined

In addition allbient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr nightshytime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF) plugs and Teflon-impregshynated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples 1were analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associat~d polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and nitroarenes The mutagen densities obtained were consistent with those measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin The following PAH and nitroarenes were observed and quantified naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz ( a )anthracene chrysenetriphenylene benzo(a)pyrene 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3-and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene

I bull PROJECT SUMMARY

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides of nitrogen precursors are complex and

it is necessary to have measurements of the reactant and product species

in as detailed a manner as possible in order to provide a data base

suitable for input into airshed computer models These organic compounds

may be distributed between the gas and particle phases and hence measureshy

ments of their concentrations in both phases must be carried out In

order to allow for a methods development and methods intercomparison prior

to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California

Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two methods intercomparison studies one

in 1985 at Claremont concerning the measurement of nitrogenous species

and a second at Citrus College GleQdora during August of 1986 dealing

principally with the intercomparison of measurement methods for organic

and carbonaceous species

In the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study (CSMCS) at

Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center

(SAPRC) carried out the measurement of several inorganic and organic

species Specifically the following measurements were made

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS) we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02) nitrous acid (HONO) and

formaldehyde (HCHO

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption specshy

troscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) ammonia (NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF)

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbons PAH) and nitroarenes

The DOAS and FT-IR systems utilized 25 m base-path multiple-reflecshy

tion optical systems aligned parallel to one another with the optical

beams being -24 m above the ground surface An extensive data set for

the gas-phase concentrations of N02 HONO HN03 HCHO (by both DOAS and

FT-IR spectroscopy NH3 and the N03 radical was obtained during this

study period The complete data set is tabulated in detail in Sections IV

1-1

and V of this report and Figures I-1 and I-2 show the HCHO HN03 and NH3 time-concentration profiles obtained by FT-IR spectroscopy (Figure I-1)

and the HONO time-concentration profile as monitored by DOAS (Figure I-2)

respectively These two figures and the data presented in Sections IV and

V show that significant concentrations of these pollutants were present

during this sampling period with ambient concentrations of up to

approximately 140 45 30 20 and 15 ppb for N02 BONO HN03 HCHO and

w3 respectively A definitiVe measurement of the presence of No3 radicals was made only on one night during this study (due to the

detection limit for this species) with a peak N03 radical concentration

of 70 ppt being measured on the night of August 13 The presence of N03 radicals at levels lt40 ppt was observed on the evenings of August 13 19

and 20

Ambient particulate organic matter (POM) was collected on a 12-hr

daytime and nighttime sampling period (0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT) and

was tested for mutagenicity towards Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98

with and without added S9) TA98NR (-S9) and TA9818-DNP6 (-S9) The

measured mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of air sampled are given

in Table I-1 These mutagen densities are consistent with those we have

measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin As also observed

previously the mutagen densities and mutagenic activity of the POM

measured in the presence and absence of S9 are essentially indistinguishshy

able with average mutagen densities (strain TA98) of 33 and 35 rev bull-3 with and without S9 respectively

Ambient air was also sampled on filters and solid adsorbents in order

to collect the gas- and particle associated PAH and PAH-derivatives for

combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis Three collection

systems were used to sample ambient air low and high-flow ( 1 and 10 L

min- 1 respectively) cartridges packed with Tenax-GC solid adsorbent to

sample the volatile PAH such as naphthalene and the methylnaphthalenes

Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters backed up by polyurethane

foam (PUF plugs to sample the semi-volatile PAH and nitroarenes present

either in the gas phase or blown-off the filters during the collection

period and TIGF filters for the collection of POM containing the higher

seven locations in California at which sampling was to be conducted to

obtain data concerning the ambient levels of mutagenicity and of PAH

were exposed The Glendora site was chosen as the site impacted by

vehicle emissions The mutagenicity data and the concentrations of the

PAH and PAH-derivatives observed at this site are hence an integral part

of our ongoing study A Survey of Ambient Concentrations of Selected

11 INTRODUCTION

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides or nitrogen precursors are exceedingly

complex and in order to provide a data base suitable for input into

airshed computer models it is necessary to have measurenents of the reacshytant and product species in as detailed a manner as possible Since these

organic compounds may be distributed between the gas anltI particle phases

measurements of both the gas- and particle-phase concentrations of organic

chemicals must be carried out In order to allow for a methods developshy

ment and methods intercomparison prior to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two

methods intercomparison studies one in 1985 at Clarsont concerning the

measurement of nitrogenous species and a second at Citrus College

Glendora during August of 1986 dealing principally with the intercomparishy

son or measurement methods for organic and carbonaceous species

In this Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study at Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Researcplusmn Center (SAPRC) was

involved in the measurement of a number of inorganic and organic species

Specifically we measured the atmospheric concentrations of the following compounds

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02 nitrous acid (HONO) and formaldehyde (HCHO)

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) anmonia NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyllethane foam PUF

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber TIGF filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbOns (PAH) and nitroarenes

Furthermore the measurements of the ambient atmspheric concentrashy

tions of PAH and PAH-derivatives at Citrus College formed one part of a

further ambient measurement study funded by the ARB Contract No AS-185-

32 dealing with the ambient concentrations of PAH ant PAR-derivatives at

11-1

seven sites throughout California impacted by differing combustion

emission sources The Citrus College site served as the vehicle emissionshyimpacted site for this study

The description or the site at Citrus College Glendora and the

experimental procedures and data obtained from these measurement methods are detailed in the following sections

111 DESCRIPTION OF SITE

As noted earlier this monitoring program was conducted in conshy

junction with the ARB-funded carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison

Study As shown in Figure 111-1 the ARB selected a site adjacent to the

football stadium on the campus of Citrus College for this study The

orientation and relationship of the long pathlength n-IR and OOAS systems

to other investigators is shown in Figure 111-2 The SAPRC high-volume

(Hi-vol) samplers were located Just north of the mobile vans and trailers

of other investigators The optical spectrometers were elevated on

concrete blocks to achieve a 24 m (8 ft) height for the optical beams in

order to minimize the influences or dry deposition of nitric acid and

other nitrogenous species This requirement necessitated a major

restructuring or the FT~IR and DOAS instrument supports In order to

augment the 12 m 4 ft height initially designed into the optical axes

or both of the long pathlength mirror assemblies while at the same time

preventing extraneous vibrations the spectrometers mirror systems and

their housings wereset on massive concrete blocks

Six 4 ft x 4 ft x 10 ft concrete structures were rented from the

Pyramid Precast company which provided the necessary machinery to

position the blocks on premarked areas at the study site Three of these

blocks constituted the support platform for the FT-IR and DOAS assemblies

at each end of the optical path (see Figure 111-2) New 9 ft x 12 ft

sheds were procured and constructed on these platforms during the last

week of August and the first week of September Subsequent assembly and

testing of the spectrometers and optical systems was completed in time for

the scheduled start of the field study on September 11 1985

As shown in Figure 111-2 the two SAPRC 25 m basepath optical systems

were set up parallel to each other and to the scaffolding which supported

most of the samplers from other groups participating in the intercomparishy

son study The optical systems were aligned in a north-south orientation

to minimize scattered light problems at sunrise and sunset and positioned

due west of the scaffolding and various mobile vans and trailers f The study period began at 0800 PDT on Tuesday August 12 and conshy

tinued until 0800 PDT on August 21 The FT-IR and DOAS systems operated

essentially continuously during this period with FT-IR spectra being

IV MEASUREMENTS OF HONO H()2 NO~ RADICALS AND HCHO BY DIFFERENTIAL OPTICAL ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

A Introduction

The development of a long pathlength OOAS system by Perner and Platt

1979) and its application and extension by these workers and by SAPRC

researchers Platt et al 1980ab 1981 1982 1984 Harris et al 1982

Pitts et al 1984ab 1985a) has provided a technique capable of sensishy

tive specific and time-resolved measurements of the ambient concentrashy

tions of a number of important atmospheric species including nitrous

acid formaldehyde the nitrate radical and nitrogen dioxide

In this section we briefly describe the design and operation of the

25 m basepath DOAS system employed to measure ambient levels of N03 radicals HONO N02 and HCHO during the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study and the results obtained during this measurement

period A more detailed description of the experimental system is provided in an earlier report to the ARB (Winer et al 1987)

B Experimental Methods

The 25 m basepath optical system (Figure IV-1) was of the threeshy

mirror White design but with an added corner reflector at the in-focus

end which effectively doubled its maximum pathlength capability The

mirrors were fabricated from 30 cm dia x 5 cm thick Pyrex blanks and

coated with a custom dielectric coating for optimum reflectivity in the spectral regions of interest

The DOAS system measures the ambient concentrations of trace

components which have distinct vibronic structures by their light

absorption in the near-ultraviolet (uv) and visible spectral regions

White light from a 75 W high pressure Xenon lamp was imaged by a spherical

mirror into the plane of the nesting (in-focus) mirror of the White cell

and then propagated through the multiple reflection optics until it

emerged from the system and was imaged onto the entrance slit of the

monochromator SPEX 1870 05 m) The light intensity was monitored by a

photomultiplier EMI 9659Q) and the signal acquired and averaged by a DEC

MINC 1123 minicomputer

With the DOAS a rotating slotted disk was used to allow rapid

scanning The slotted disk was formed by etching a set of exit slits (100

microm wide 10 m spacing) radially into a thin metal disk This disk was

rotated in the focal plane of the dispersed spectrua As each slit moved across the opening between the masks that block the two adjacent slits it

scanned a spectral range of -30-60 nm depending on the rotation frequency

of the slotted disk The orientation of the spectrometer grating

determined which specific spectral region was scanned As employed in its

final form in this program the slotted disk rotated at -4 Hz resulting in

a scan rate of -100 Hz well above the frequency distribution of

atmospheric turbulence (which otherwise would introduce unwanted structure

into the spectra)

As a slit became visible at the edge of the mask it was detected by

an infrared photodiode A trigger signal was sent to the computer which

continuously recorded digitized samples of the light intensity as the slit

scanned across the spectrum Since several tens of thousand such scans

were acquired and added in the computer memory within a few minutes this

improved the signal-to-noise ratio of the resulting spectrum The

rotational speed of the slotted disk was maintained constant to within

101j to preserve the spectral resolution while superimposing the scans

The computer was also used for spectral deconvolution and for the

calculation of optical densities

Since a single scan required only -10 msec atmospheric scintillation

effects had little effect on the signal Moreover since typically (2-8)

x 104 individual scans were recorded and signal-averaged over each several

minute measurement period even complete but momentary interruption of

the light beam had no appreciable effect on the final spectrum Except

under the haziest conditions stray light effects were negligible due to

the instruments narrow field of view -8 x 10-5 steradians] and in any

case stray light could be taken into account by means of appropriate

background spectra

The concentrations of atmospheric species were derived from Beers

Law However since the light intensity in the absence of any absorption

(1 0 ) cannot be obtained with this technique the differential optical

density was employed and thus only those compounds which have structured

absorption spectra could be measured Table IV-1 gives the characteristic

IV-3

absorption bands and detection limits for a number of atmospheric species

of interest based on a km pathlength It can be seen that the

detection limits range from 3 ppb for HCHO down to -10 ppt for the N03 radical For automatic scanning of spectra 32 or 40 reflections (corresshy

ponding to pathlengths of 800 and 1000 m respectively) were generally

employed and the corresponding detection limits for quantitative analyses

were then 06-07 ppb for HONO and 13-16 ppt for N03 radicals

C Results and Discussion

The SAPRC 25 m basepath DOAS system was set up at the Glendora site

in the specific orientation relative to other experiments conducted

during this field study as described in Section III

Essentially continuous DOAS measurements were conducted from August

13 until the morning of August 21 1986 Maximum ozone levels and peak

concentrations of N03 radicals during this study are sUD1Darized in Table

IV-2 Individual concentrations of HONO HCHO and N02 observed during

this period are given in tabular form in Appendix B and hourly average

data for these species are given in Tables IV-3 to IV-5 For the

majority of the time the pathlength was set to 800 m with a detection

limit equivalent to an optical density of 3 x o-14 bull The data reduction

process was more automated than previously and thus the detection limit was raised from 2 x 10-4 to 3 x 10-4 OD to offset the tendency of the

software to interpret noise at the detection limit as a peak The

corresponding detection limits were N02 35 ppb HOHO 08 ppb and

HCHO 45 ppb

Because the HONO and HCHO bands are overlapped by N02 bands and N02 is more abundant in the Los Angeles basin the DOAS spectra must be first

analyzed for N02 to enable its features to be quantitatively removed prior

to determining HONO and HCHO concentrations Figure IV-2 shows the timeshy

concentration profile for N02 from 0000 PDT on August 13 to 0800 PDT on

August 21 The solid line shows the DOAS data while the dashed line

shows measurements made by our chemiluminescence oxides of nitrogen

analyzer The two curves track each other very well during the nighttime

and early morning hours In the afternoon the NOx analyzer consistently

read 10 to 30 ppb higher since the DOAS values at those times were as low

as 15-25 ppb this caused a discrepancy of a factor of two or more The

higher values measured by the chemiluminescence method are attributed to

the known interferences of HN03 and PAN in this detection method

consistent with the levels or HN03 and PAN in the afternoon periods being

approximately equivalent to this difference in the DOAS N02 and chemilshy

uminescence N0x-H0 readings

After the quantitative removal of the N02 features from the OOAS

spectra the data reduction procedure utilized a simultaneous leastshy

squares fit or HON0 and HCHO reference spectra to the residual ambient air

spectra Figure IV-3 shows the time concentration profile for HCHO as

determined by DOAS (solid line) For comparison the FT-IR data from

Section V are shown as the dashed line The agreement between the two

methods is very good with the discrepancies being within the error

limits However it appears that the OOAS results for the first four

nights are consistently higher than the FT-IR data by about 1-3 ppb This

could be due to an overestimation of HCH0 absorption features in the OOAS

spectra since the reported FT-IR HCH0 levels were at or below the DOAS

detection limit of 45 ppb (where the signal-to-noise ratio was near

unity)

Finally the H0N0 time-concentration profile for August 13-21 is

presented in Figure IV-4 No comparison data are available for HON0 for

this study However as discussed above the only source of a large

systematic error would be the literature value for the HON0 absorption

cross-sections used in the calculations During the Citrus College field

study nighttime HON0 levels were higher than observed in the 1985

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study at Claremont where the maximum

HON0 concentrations were in the range 15 to 25 ppb For five of the

nights at Citrus College the HON0 concentrations were also in the same

range However for three nights H0N0 levels attained -35 ppb and

during the last night of the study H0N0 reached a maximum of Jamp5 ppb

There was however no correlation of the HON0 concentrations to the

nighttime N02 levels which were relatively constant at 60-75 ppb Since

the heterogeneous formation of H0N0 from N02 involves moisture correlashy

tions to other parameters such as relative humidity and particulate

loading may prove interesting

V LONG PATHLENGTH FT-IR MEASUREMENTS OF HN03 NH3 AND HCHO

A Introduction

As discussed elsewhere in more detail (Winer et al 1987) the long

pathlength FT-IR system was employed to provide benchmark data for the

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study held at Pomona College

(Claremont) in September 1985 Following this the FT-IR spectrometer

participated in our winter field study at El Camino CoDJDUnity College

(Torrance) Due to a need for a more detailed comparison of HN03 measurements by the FT-IR and tunable diode laser spectroscopic (TDLS)

methods than had been possible during the 1985 Claremont study the

longpath FT-IR system was subsequently set up in Glendora on the Citrus

College campus for more intensive measurements of HN03 and NH3 between

August 12-21 1986 In this study species coverage by the FT-IR method

was extended to include the measurement of formaldehyde (HCH0) Attempts

were also made to detect N2o5 in ambient air by thorough examination of

the spectra recorded in the late afternoon and evening hours Alllllonia

(NH3) was included among middot the species measured since in certain

localities it can profoundly affect the concentration of gaseous HN03 by

its reaction to form aerosol anmonium nitrate (Doyle et al 1979 Tuazon

et al 1980)

B Experimental

1 Kilometer Pathlength FT-IR System

Measurements of ambient air pollutants by infrared spectroscopy

were carried out using a recently constructed 25-m basepath open

multiple-reflection optical system interfaced to a Mattson Instruments

Inc Sirius 100 FT-IR spectrometer This spectr0111eter has a maximum

resolution capability of 0125 cm-1 and is equipped with a Motorola 68000-

based data system The long pathlength optics are of the three-mirror

White design (White 1942) with provisions for adding a corner reflector

at the in-focus end (Horn and Pimentel 1971) when desired to effectively

double the systems pathlength The mirrors in this new optical system

were fabricated from 30 cm diameter 6 cm thick Pyrex blanks and goldshy

coated for the best reflectivity (~99J) in the infrared The optimum

pathlength for monitoring was determined to be in the 1-1 5 km range

V-1

during routine operation although short-term use or optical patha greater

than 2 km were possible

As discussed in Section Ill the long pathlengtb FT-IR spectrometer

was operated alongside the long pathlength DOAS systell as shown in Figure

V-1 The optical layout of the FT-IR system is preaented in more detail

in Figure V-2 The sets or mirrors of the two spectrometers were arrayed

in opposite directions but aligned side by side in a compact arrangement

which made possible simultaneous analyses of virtually the same air

mass The FT-IR spectrometer was housed in an air conditioned shed while

the multiple reflection mirror assembly outside was shaded from direct

sunlight by protective shields While the spectrometer system had an

initial height of 1 2 m (above ground level) designed into the optical

axis this was raised to a total of 24 m (8 ft) the C0111110n sampling

height required for all analytical techniques being compared during this

field study Massive concrete blocks were employed as support structures

to attain this sampling height

2 Acquisition of Spectra

Spectra were recorded at a pathlength of 1150 meters and 0125 1cm- resolution unapodized) Sixty-four scans interferograms) were

added during a 45-min period and then transformed (calculation time of

-25 min) to a single beam spectrum Each spectrUII of 128 K points was 1truncated and the spectral region from 400 to 3000 cm- which contained

the absorption bands of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 used for analysis was retained

and archived

Four to five spectra per hour were collected This rate or data

collection permitted a real-time examination of the quality of spectra

being recorded and such checks were consistently made during daytime and

early evening hours 0800-2200 PDT) During the noncritical period of

2200-0600 hours when nitric acid was expected to be below the detection

limit the FT-IR spectrometer was programed to conduct automatic

monitoring

expanded plot or the HN03 spectrum in the range 870-910 cm- 1 is presented

in Figure V-11 to which is added a middotqualitative single beam spectrum or 1clean ambient air at a pathlength of 1150 m The Q-branch at 896 1 cm-

was the most appropriate one for quantitative measureaent because or its

favorable half-width and minimal interference by ataaspheric water vapor

We restricted our measurements to the heights of the sharp absorption (Qshy

branch) features only since measurements which include the broad undershy

lying envelope were more susceptible to unknown interferences The 8854 1cm- Q-branch was totally free of interferences but its relatively

narrower line shape was more susceptible to distortion by noise while the 1strongest Q-branch at 8789 cm- was severely overlapped by a strong water

line

Of the numerous sharp features of the NH3 spectna depicted in Figure

V-3 the lines at 11034 and 8679 cm-1 though not the strongest suffer

the least interference by H2o and CO2 absorption lines and were therefore

the ones chosen for analysis The line positions of NH3 relative to those

of atmospheric H20 (and CO2) in the 1080-1120 cm-1 region are shown in

Figure V-5 The calibration procedure for trn3 was straightforward

Spectra were recorded at O 125 cm- 1 resolution for several NH3 pressures

in the range 02-1 torr which were measured to within 10005 torr

accuracy with an MKS Baratron capacitance manometer The NH3 samples were

transferred to a 25-cm cell with KBr windows and pressurized with N2 gas

to atmospheric pressure No measurable decay of IH3 concentration was

observed within the 15-minute period during which repeat spectra were

recorded for each sample These data yielded absorptivities (base 10) at

23degC and 740 torr total pressure of 182 cm-1 atm-1 for the 11034 cm-1

peak and 97 cm-1 atm- 1 for the 8679 cm- 1 peak with uncertainties of t5J

(two standard deviations for both values

A similar calibration procedure was not possible for HN03 because of

its significant decay to the walls of the 25-cm cell We determined our

high resolution absorptivity values relative to the data of Graham and

Johnston (1978) who made an accurate determination of the absorptivity of

the HN03 4 ( 1325 cm- 1 fundamental band at -2 cm-1 resolution using two

independent methods for generating HN03 ( for more details see also Graham

1975) We assigned Graham and Johnstons ( 1978 absorptivity value

feature in our 0125 cm- 1 resolution spectrum after S1100thing the latter

to -2 cm-1 resolution The absorptivity tor a Q-branch (eg 8961 cm- 1)

at O 125 cm-1 resolution was then determined from the intensity ratio of

the unsmoothed Q-branch to the smoothed P-branch

Smoothing removes the fine structure superimposed on the bandv4 envelope and in order to test the adequacy of tbe smoothing function

1employed measurements were carried out in which 2 cm-1 and 0125 cm-

resolution spectra were recorded alternately for an 11103 sample To take

into account the HN03 decay in the cell the 1315 cm-1 peak heights at 2

cm- 1 resolution were plotted against time as were those or the 0125 cm- 1

resolution spectra after having been smoothed to -2 m-1 resolution The

two curves were found to be indistinguishable indicating the accuracy or

the smoothing function applied The above procedure yielded a value of

52 plusmn 04 cm- 1 atm-1 for the absorptivity (base 10) of the HN03 peak at

896 1 cm- 1 (Q-branch height only) with the two standard deviation error

including that reported by Graham (1975) This value is in fact the same

as that we previously determined for this peak at 05 cm-1 resolution

(Tuazon et al 1980) Following the same method the absorptivity of the

8854 cm-1 Q-branch was found to be 61 plusmn 05 cm-1 ata- 1bull

The calibration procedure for HCHO was the sue as that for NH bull3Formaldehyde samples were pre-distilled from paraformaldehyde and

immediately used after collection in a liquid nitrogen cooled trap The

absorptivity value of the 2781 0 cm- 1 Q-branch an absorption peak well

isolated from H2o absorptions was determined to be 89 plusmn 05 cm- 1 atm-1

4 Treatment of Data

The quantitative analysis of species such as NH3 which possess

relatively narrow Q-branch features which are sufficiently resolved from

atmospheric H2o absorptions was normally straightforward The absorbance

(log 10 1 was derived directly from the single beaa spectrum and thus a

ratio plot against an actual background spectrum was not necessary Proshy

vided that the detector had a linear response 10

and I as determined from

a single beam spectrum had values on an arbitrary scale in which zero

corresponded to zero signal on the detector The appropriate differential

absorption coefficient such as those determined above and the absorption

pathlength had to be applied to the absorption intensity measured between

V-9

and I in order to convert to concentration units This procedure was10

followed for the 11034 and 8679 cm-1 lines of NH3 Estimates of the HN03 concentration could also be obtained from

single-beam spectra by employing the 8854 cmmiddot1 Q-branch However the

HN03 analysis was more reliably carried out using the 8961 cm-1 Q-branch

by ratioing the sample spectrum with a clean background spectrum a

procedure which improved the baseline and resulted in essentially complete

cancellation of a very weak H20 interference Background spectra were

chosen from those recorded at around midnight during low pollution days

since previous measurements (Spicer et al 1982) showed HN03 levels that

were much lower (lt1 ppb) than the FT-IR detection limit under these

conditions

The peak-to-peak noise level in the ratio spectrum was typically

00025 absorbance unit base 10) corresponding to a 250 1 signal to

peak-to-peak noise ratio for single spectral records The absorption

peaks used for the analyses were much wider than the frequency of random

noise such that peak heights as small as the noise level could be

detected above the noise itself Thus the detection sensitivities were

3-5 ppb for HN03 1-2 ppb for NH3 and 2-3 ppb for HCHO The lower

detection limit for each compound was realized when turbulence due to

temperature gradients andor wind were minimal for example during

nighttime hours)

The possible detection of N2o5 depended on how well its broad band

centered at 1246 cm- 1 ( 12) could be discerned from interfering H20

absorptions The H2o interferences were reduced by ratioing the sample

spectra against selected background spectra taken during those periods

(mid-morning to noon) when N2o5 was believed not to be present due to the

rapid photolysis of No3 radicals Although exact cancellation of the H2o absorptions was not possible the windows between these absorptions were

sufficient to define a baseline from which the presence of a broad absorpshy

tion contour could be distinguished From the literature value of 188

cm- 1 atmmiddot 1 for the absorptivity of the 1246 cm-1 peak (Graham 1975 Graham

and Johnston 1978) it was calculated that 5 ppb N2o5 at a pathlength of

1150 m would give a signal of -001 absorbance unit (base 10) approxishy

mately 4 times the peak-to-peak baseline noise of the ratio spectrum

V-10

The largest source of uncertainty in the analyses was the noise level

in the spectrum with other errors being generally negligible We

assigned to each peak height measurement the maxillum error which was

equal to the peak-to-peak noise level For HN03 this error was 4 ppb

The uncertainty arising from the error in the absorptivity (of the 8961

cm- 1 Q-branch in this case) increased with the concentration However

this contribution to the overall error limit was relatively small for the

range of HN03 concentrations encountered For example it increased the

t4 ppb error by only 10j when included in the error calculation for an

HN03 concentration of 25 ppb For NH concentrations i20 ppb the sum of uncertainties due to noise3

and error in the absorptivity of the 11034 cm-1 line was plusmn15 ppb At

higher concentrations the contribution from the absorptivity error became

relatively more important A detailed plot of this error contribution as

a function of concentration revealed that it is nearly linear in the

concentration range 20 to 100 ppb permitting the additional error to be

calculated from the empirical formula (0044( [NH3]-20) ppb Thus for the measurement of 60 ppb NH3 the total error can be calculated as [ 15 +

0 044 )( 60-20)] = plusmn33 ppb

For the range of HCH0 concentrations encountered in the 1986 Glendora

study the measurement errors were less than plusmn3 ppb

C Results and Discussion

As discussed in Section II our measurements were conducted in

conjunction with the CARB-sponsored Carbonaceous Species Methods

Comparison Study which occurred from 0800 PDT August 12 to 0800 PDT

August 21 1986 ln contrast with the low level of air pollution during

the 1985 Claremont summer field study this August 1986 measurement period

at Citrus College was characterized by moderately high levels of photoshy

chemical activity Except for the second day of measurements the maximum

hourly average o3 concentrations exceeded 200 ppb each day

The FT-IR spectra obtained were analyzed for the simultaneous concenshy

trations of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 The detailed instantaneous data are

presented in Table V-1 and are plotted in Figure V-6 The hourly average concentrations are presented in Tables V-2 to V-4 Except for periods of

power disruption on August 14 and the loss of most of the daytime data on

August 17 due to a fault in archiving the data onto agnetic tapes the

FT-IR system provided continuous coverage of HCHO and 1H3 concentrations

since they were always above the respective detection 11llits of -2-3 ppb

and -1-15 ppb HN~ was generally above the -3-Ji ppb detection

sensitivity between 0800 hr and 2000 hr each day throughout the study

period As for the 1985 Claremont and the 1986 Torrance studies N2o5 was

not observed above the estimated detection limit of 4 ppb

The FT-IR analysis of formaldehyde was easily carried out with the

use of single-beam spectra since the HCHO infrared spectrum has a Qshy

branch at 27810 cm-1 well isolated from other atmospheric absorptions

HCHO was included as one of the species to be measured by FT-IR (except

during the first day) because of the need for a standard against which

other HCHO methods employed at this study could be compared Our

contribution to this aspect of the carbonaceous species study was to

provide HCHO measurements by both DOAS and FT-IR spectroscopy either

method of which can serve as a benchmark standard l comparison or the

two sets of spectroscopic data for HCHO has been discussed in Section IV

and comparison with the results of the other HCHO methods is currently

being carried out by Dr Douglas Lawson of the CARB

The NH3 concentrations observed in Glendora (Table V-2) during the

first six days or the field study (September 12-17 were generally in the

range of 2-4 ppb These levels are similar to those aeasured during the

1985 Claremont study for the periods when there was no localized transport

of NH3 to the latter site from nearby agricultural sources NH3 levels

during the remaining days (August 18-21 were more variable and generally

about twice the above range of values (Figure V-6 he erratic pattern

found in the NH3 concentrations during these three days which is also

noticeable in the more well-defined HCHO and HN03 concentration profiles

(Figure V-6 could well be due to the prevailing wind conditions

The maximum instantaneous concentrations of HN~ attained 20 ppb or

higher during the eight days that the FT-IR measurements provided detailed

HN03 profiles (Figure V-6) with the highest concentration of 33 ppb being

observed on August 19 Comparison of our Dasibi ozone data with the FT-IR

measurements of HN03 showed a strong correspondence between the HN03 and

maxima This is illustrated in Figure V-7 for the pollution episodeso3 of August 15-16 where the hourly average HN03 concentrations (by FT-IR)

VI AMBIENT CONCENTRATIONS OF PAH AND NITRO-PAH

A Introduction

The PAH emitted from combustion sources exhibit a wide range of

volatility and are hence distributed in the atmosphere between the gas

and particle phases As we have shown previously (Arey et al 1987)

complementary sampling techniques are required to obtain a comprehensive

data set concerning the concentrations of volatile and non-volatile PAH

and their derivatives in the atmosphere Thus the volatile 2-ring PAH such as naphthalene which are present almost entirely in the gas-phase

can be quantitatively collected on Tenax GC solid adsorbent The nonshy

volatile 5-ring and larger PAH and 3- to 4-ring nitro-PAH are particle

associated and are collected totally on the Hi-vol filters The 3- and 4-

ring PAH of intermediate volatility and the 2-ring nitro-PAH can be

collected on PUF plugs as well as on the filters indicating that they are

either present mainly in the gas-phase or are blown-off the filter

during the collection period Thus three different collection media were

employed for the ambient air sampling at Citrus College Tenax-GC solid

adsorbent PUF plugs and Hi-vol filters The ambient air samples were

collected from August 12 to August 21 with 12-hr day (0800-2000 PDT) and

night (2000-0800 PDT) sampling intervals

B Experimental

1 Sampling Media Cleaning Procedure

Tenax-GC solid adsorbent was Soxhlet extracted in a cellulose

thimble for -5 hr in a 64 (vv) acetonehexane mixture After packing in

Pyrex tubes (using precleaned glass wool) the Tenax cartridges were

conditioned for -4 hr by heating at 275degC with nitrogen flowing through

them at -20 mL min- 1 The Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters

and PUF plugs were cleaned by Soxhlet extraction for -16 hr in methylene

chloride followed by another 16 hr extraction with methanol

2 Tenax-GC Cartridges Sampling and Analysis

Two sizes of Tenax-GC cartridge were used for the collection of

gas-phase PAH at different flow rates Low-flow cartridges consisted of

10 cm x 4 nnn id Pyrex tubes packed with 0 1 g of Tenax GC solid

adsorbent with sampling flow rates of -1 L min-1 yielding an -06 m3

VI-1

volume of air for each 12-hr sampling period High-flow cartridges

consisted of 10 cm x 1 cm id Pyrex tubes packed with 06 g of Tenax-GC

and operated at flow rates of -10 L min-1 resulting in -6 m3 of air

sampled during a 12-hr period Each low-flow cartridge was equipped with

back-up Tenax cartridge placed in series downstream from the first

cartridge to check for breakthrough

After sampling the Tenax cartridges were stored in dry-ice transshy

ported to SAPRC and stored in a freezer prior to analysis

For analysis deuterated internal standards were added to the lowshy

and high-flow Tenax cartridges respectively as follows in microg)

naphthalene-d5 (18 16) biphenyl-d10 (07 10) phenanthrene-d 10 (06

06) The low- and high-flow cartridges were eluted with 2 mL and 10 mL respectively of diethyl ether which was then solvent exchanged to -02

mL of acetonitrile (using a micro-Snyder apparatus for the high-flow

cartridges)

PAH identifications and quantifications were made by combined gas

chromatographymass spectrometry (GCMS) with multiple ion detection

(MID) as described in detail below

3 High-Volume Filters Followed by PUF Plugs Sampling and Analysis

Two high-volume sampler systems consisting of a TIGF filter

follow by four PUF plugs (-9 cm diameter x 5 cm thickness) [see Figure VI-

1] were run at -23 SCFM for 12 hr intervals yielding ambient samples

collected from -1000 m3 of air

Prior to analysis the PUF plugs were combined into six samples

consisting of a single day sample and a single nighttime sample from the

early portion of the study single day and single night samples from the

latter part of the study and composite samples from four day and four

nights Specifically the samples were (11) August 13 0800-2000 hr

(2) August 13-14 2000-0800 hr (3) August 15 16 17 and 18 0800-2000

hr (4) August 15-16 16-17 17-18 18-19 2000-0800 hr (5 August 20

0800-2000 hr (6 August 20-21 2000-0800 hr

The samples from a single 12-hr day or night collection period (ie

samples 1 2 5 and 6) each consisted of eight PUF plugs (four from each

of the two Hi-vols used and these were combined and extracted together

The composite samples 3 and 4 were each analyzed in two parts ~UF

plugs 1-3 (see Figure VI-1) and to check for breakthrough of the more

Soxhlet extracted overnight (-16 hr) with methylene chloride concentrated

by rotary evaporation under vacuum to -4 mL filtered through 045 microm

Acrodiscs (Gelman Sci) and concentrated further under a stream of

nitrogen to -500 microL

The extracts were fractionated by HPLC using an Altex semi-prepashy

rative scale Ultrasphere Silica column (1 cm x 25 cm) Figure VI-2 shows

a typical HPLC profile of a PUF plug extract together with the mobile

phase program employed A fraction containing the PAH was collected from

4 min to 22 min and a nitroarene-containing fraction from 22 min to 34

min The fractions were concentrated by rotary evaporation then taken

just to dryness under a stream of nitrogen After dissolving in acetoshy

nitrile or CH2c12 the PAH and nitroarene fractions were analyzed by

GCMS-MID as described below

4 Hi-Vols with TIGF Filters Sampling and Analysis

Seven Hi-vol samplers each equipped with a 10 microm cut-off inlet

were employed for POM collection The samplers were run at -40 SCFM

yielding an ambient sample collected from -800 m3 of air for each Hi-vol

over a 12-hr sampling period Two Hi-vols were employed solely for the

collection of POM used for mutagenicity testing The TIGF filters from

the remaining five Hi-vols were combined into six samples corresponding to

the PUF plug samples described above ie samples 1 and 2 and samples

5 and 6 comprised the single day and night samples from August 13-14 and

August 20-21 respectively and samples 3 and 4 were the composite day

and night samples from August 15-16 16-17 17-18 and 18-19 The filter

extraction and work-up procedure was as shown in Scheme VI-1 Each sample

was spiked with deuterated internal standards as follows (single 12-hr

5 GCMS Analyses

Compound identifications and quantifications were made using

either a Finnigan 3200 quadrupole GCMS interfaced to a Teknivent data

system or a Hewlett Packard 5890 GC interfaced to a Hewlett Packard 5970

mass selective detector MSD) both operated in the electron impact mode

(70 eV) The GC separations were done either on a 60 m DB-5 fused silica

capillary column with a cool on-column injection system (J ampWScientific

Inc) or on a 30 m DB-5 fused silica capillary column with splitless

injection Both columns eluted directly into the MS ion source

Calibration curves for the GCMS-MID quantification of the PAH were

made for the molecular ion peaks of the PAH using the corresponding

deuterated species (or the deuterated species most closely matched in

volatility and retention characteristics) as an internal standard The

C Results

1 Volatile PAH Sampled on Tenax-GC Cartridges

The most abundant PAH collected on the Tenaz-GC cartridges were

naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene GC~ analysis of Tenax

samples in the full scanning mode (rather than the MID mode used for

quantification) showed that not unexpectedly several alkylbenzenes were

also very abundant Table VI-1 sUJ11Darizes the ambient concentrations (ng

m-3) of the volatile PAH measured For reasons which will be detailed

below the naphthalene data from the low-flow cartridges have been

utilized while the data for the remaining PAH have been taken from the

values obtained from the high-flow cartridges

In Appendix B Table B-1 the microg quantities of each PAH measured on

the low-flow Tenax cartridges (for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications)

and the calculated total volumes for each sample are listed Replicate

injections gave reproducible values for naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylshy

naphthalene while the levels of biphenyl fluorene and phenanthrene were

too low for accurate quantification Also listed in Table B-1 are the

quantities of PAH observed on the back-up Tenax cartridges which were

also generally too low for accurate quantification Table B-2 lists the

microg quantities measured and volumes sampled for the high-flow cartridges

Since the volumes of air sampled on the high-flow cartridges was a factor

of 10 greater than the low-flow cartridges biphenyl fluorene and phenshy

anthrene could be accurately determined and in addition acenaphthylene

and acenaphthene were measured

Only traces of naphthalene were observed on the Tenax cartridges

which were back-up cartridges for the low-flow Tenax ie less than a

few percent of that measured on the primary cartridge Therefore

naphthalene was collected quantitatively on the low-flow Tenax Table VI-

2 compares the ambient naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene concenshy

trations calculated from the low-flow and high-flow Tenax cartridges The

high-flow values for naphthalene were consistently lower than those

obtained from the low-flow Tenax samples indicating that naphthalene was

not collected quantitatively at a collection rate of 10 L min- 1 at the

ambient temperatures encountered at Citrus College Hence the low-flow

Tenax values for naphthalene are given in Table VI-1

( There is good agreement between the nighttime concentrations of the

1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes calculated from the low- and high-flow Tenax

samples For the daytime samples when the observed concentrations were

generally low the high-flow values tended to be somewhat higher than the

low-flow values and were judged to be more accurate It should be noted

that the low-flow values for 1-methylnaphthalene have been corrected for a

significant interference which was observed on the back-up Tenax

2 PAH Sampled on PUF Plugs

GCMS analysis of the HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts in

which the PAH elute (see Figure VI-2) showed this fraction to contain many

less abundant alkyl-PAH and dibenzothiophene as well as fluorene phenshy

anthrene anthracene fluoranthene and pyrene It must be remembered that

these PAH will be distributed between the gaseous and particle phases in

ambient air and that the quantities measured on the PUF plugs are the sum

of the PAH in the gas phase and the PAH initially present on the POM but

blown-off during the collection period

The ambient concentrations of five PAH and the sulfur heterocycle

dibenzothiophene measured on the PUF plugs are given in Table vI3 The

most abundant PAH collected on the PUF plugs was fluorene From the

composite samples in which the fourth PUF plugs were analyzed separately

it was obvious that fluorene (mw 166) and PAH of higher volatility were

not collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs since substantial amounts

were present on the fourth PUF (see Table VI-3) Consistent with fluorene

not being collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs the ambient concenshy

trations of fluorene listed in Table VI-1 from the Tenax cartridge quanshy

tifications are -2-5 fold higher than those listed in Table VI-3 The

ambient concentrations of phenanthrene measured on the PUF plugs and Tenax

cartridges agree to within better than a factor of two

Figure VI-4 shows the GCMS-MID traces of naphthalene and alkylshy

naphthalenes for the Tenax and PUF samples from the evening of 813-1486

From the Tenax sample trace it is clear that naphthalene was the most

abundant species (at a measured concentration of -5000 ng m-3)

Comparing the Tenax and PUF sample traces it is apparent that naphthalene

was retained on the PUF plugs only to a minor extent (with a measured

concentration of -2 ng m-3 Interestingly although not quantitatively

collected on the PUF plugs the presence of dimethylnaphthalenes in

ambient air is apparent from the PUF samples

3 Diurnal Variations in the Volatile PAH

The ambient concentrations of naphthalene measured for 12-hr day

and night sampling intervals throughout the Citrus College study are shown

in Figure VI-5 It can be seen from these data that the naphthalene conshy

centrations were generally higher during the evening sampling intervals

and that there was a trend toward higher concentrations in the latter part

of the study

The daytime and nighttime concentrations of _ and 2-methylnaphthashy

lene are shown in Figure VI-6 As observed for naphthalene the nighttime

concentrations were generally higher The concentration of 2-methylshy

naphthalene was consistently higher than that of 1-methylnaphthalene The

concentration profiles of the methylnaphthalenes were remarkably similar

perhaps indicating a common source and similar atmospheric loss processes

Reaction with the hydroxyl radical is expected to be the major loss

process for both species with essentially identical atmospheric lifetimes

for 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987a)

All of the volatile PAH were generally more abundant during the

nighttime than daytime sampling intervals (see Table VI-1 and VI-3

Meteorological factors such as inversion heights may certainly have played

a role in this observed trend at Citrus College bu it can be seen that

these diurnal variations are not solely due to meteorology by comparing

the diurnal profiles of species of differing reactiviy For example the

GCMS-MID traces for the molecular ion of biphenyl a11d acenaphthene (mz

154 for a typical daytime and nighttime Tenax sample are shown in Figure

VI-7 As seen from this figure acenaphthene [the ioore reactive of these

PAH (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b] was generally significantly more

abundant in the nighttime samples presumably beig removed by rapid

reaction with the OH radical during daylight hours

GCMS-MID traces of daytime and nighttime PUF samples showing the

analyses of isomeric PAH of differing reactivity are shown in Figures VI-8

and VI-9 While phenanthrene was abundant on both ~~e day and nighttime

PUF plug samples the relative abundance of anthracen~ to phenanthrene was

consistently higher at night Figure VI-8) Similarly acephenanthrylene

an isomer of fluoranthene and pyrene expected to be more reactive than

these PAH towards ozone (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) was generally not

observed in the daytime PUF samples from Citrus College (Figure VI-9)

4 Nitroarenes Sampled on PUF Plugs

The HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts eluting from 22 to 34

min (Figure VI-2) contained the volatile nitroarene species The most

abundant nitroarenes were 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene GCMS analysis in

the full scanning mode showed that this nitroarene-containing HPLC

fraction also contained alkylnitrophenols

Figure Vl-10 shows GCMS-MID traces from a typical analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug extract for 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene (NN) As

seen from this figure identification was based on the presence of several

characteristic fragment ions as well as retention time matching with the

1-nitronaphthalene-d7 internal standard Figure VI-11 shows the presence

of several peaks at mz 187 which elute after 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene

These peaks were identified as methylnitronaphthalenes ( 14 isomers are

possible on the basis of the presence of characteristic [M-N02]+ and [Mshy

HN02J+ fragment ions as well as the mz 187 molecular ion

GCMS-MID traces of a standard mixture of the three nitrobiphenyl

isomers and two isomers of nitroacenaphthene are shown in Figure VI-12

5-Nitroacenaphthene has previously been reported in ambient air (Tokiwa et

al 1981) At Torrance CA during a wintertime high-NOx episode we did

not observe nitroacenaphthene but measured high concentrations of the

isomeric species 3-nitrobiphenyl (Arey et al 1987) In Figure Vl-13 the

[Mr ions of the standard mixture are shown together with the [M)+ ions

and characteristic fragment ion traces obtained from the analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug sample As at Torrance CA the nitroarene isomer

of mw 199 observed at Citrus College was clearly 3-nitrobiphenyl

Table Vl-4 gives the microg quantities of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and

3-nitrobiphenyl collected on the PUF plugs at Citrus College From the

fourth PUF plugs of the composite samples it can be seen that 3-

nitrobiphenyl was quantitatively collected on the first three PUF plugs

Particularly during the daytime samples some breakthrough of 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene occurred In addition to these nitroarene species

traces of 9-nitroanthracene were observed in most of the Citrus College

PUF plug samples but the levels present were too low to quantify

5 PAH Sampled on TIGF Filters

As described in Section B above the extracts of the TIGF filters

were fractionated by HPLC HPLC fractions 2-5 (see Figure VI-3) were

collected as the PAH fraction with fractions 6-7 being chosen to include

the n i troarenes Through the use of deuterated internal standards it

became apparent that the higher molecular weight PAH such as dibenz(ah)shy

anthracene were eluting in HPLC fractions 6-7 The data reported here

for the PAH on filters will be for the lower molecular weight species

ie fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and

benzo(a)pyrene Fractions 6-7 will be analyzed for the higher molecular

weight PAH and the full range of data for PAH on particles will be given

in our final report for our on-going CARB project (Contract No A5-185-

32) A survey of ambient concentrations of selected polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons (PAH) at various locations in California

Table VI-6 lists values for fluoranthane pyrene benz(a)anthracene

chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene in the NBS SRM 1649 an air

particulate sample collected in Washington DC The values recently

reported by the NBS (Wise et al 1986) for analyses by GC and HPLC with

fluorescence detection along with our values determined by GCMS-MID are

given The extraction and clean-up procedures we used for the SRM

particles were as described in Section B for the Citrus College POM sample

analyses As can be seen from Table VI-6 the agreement between our

values and those reported by NBS is generally excellent

The microg quantities of the five PAH measured in the Citrus College POM

samples for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications are given in Appendix B

Table B-3 The concentrations of these five PAH in ng m-3 (averaging the

replicate values) are given in Table VI-7 Two additional samples 7 and

8 repeat day and night composites are also listed in Tables B-3 and

VI-7 It was found that in taking the benzenemethanol extracts to a

constant weight a significant fraction of the deuterated internal stanshy

dards fluoranthene-d 10 pyrene-d 10 and even 2-nitrofluoranthene-d9 were

lost The use of internal standards should of course allow for correcshy

tion of such losses Since all of the filters from each day or night

comprising these composites had not been extracted we made replicate

composite samples and extracted these replicates with dichloromethane As

can be seen from Table VI-7 the composites and the repeat composites

VI-28

agree to within better than a factor of two In our current procedure for

POM analyses the benzenemethanol extract is not taken to dryness

6 Nitroarenes Sampled on TlGF Filters

The ambient concentrations of the nitrofluoranthenes and nitroshy

pyrenes measured for the six Citrus College POM samples are given in Table

VI-7 As we have observed previously (Pitts et al 1985c Ramdahl et al

1986 Arey et al 1987) 2-nitrofluoranthene was the most abundant

particle-associated nitroarene The GCMS-MID trace of the molecular ion

for the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (mz 247) from the August 20-

21 1986 2000-0800 PDT sample is shown in Figure VI-14 This sample

VII AMBIENT MUTAGENICITY

A Introduction

For the past several years the mutagenicity of ambient P0M has been

recognized as a characteristic of polluted urban atmospheres Further-

more although airborne particulate matter contains many carcinogenic PAH

its mutagenic activity does not resemble that of the PAH which require

mammalian metabolic activation (S9) as a requisite for expression of their

mutagenicity in the Ames Salmonella test Instead ambient P0M is

directly active ie expressing mutagenicity without the addition of

S9 and thus showing that other classes of organic chemicals which are

direct-acting mutagens are also present in ambient air

As an integral part of the CSMCS carried out at Citrus College

Glendora we measured the mutagenicity of collected 12-hour particulate

samples both with and without mammalian metabolic activation on

Salmonella strain TA98 Additionally we obtained mutagenicity data on

strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6

B Experimental

Sample Preparation for Mutagenicity Testing As noted in Section

II I POM samples were collected on a 12-hr basis throughout the study

period from 0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT The collected particulate

matter from two Hi-vols fitted with 10 microm cut-off inlets was weighed and

the filters Soxhlet extracted for 16-hr using a benzenemethanol (8020

azeotrope The solvent was removed under vacuum and the extracts were

taken to dryness under a stream of dry nitrogen Prior to mutagenicity

testing the sample extracts were stored in the dark at -75degC On the day

of the test each extract was taken up in DMS0 using a 20-minute

sonication and serial dilutions in DMS0 were made from this stock

solution

Tester Strains Ames Salmonella strain TA98 was used because of its

sensitivity to atmospheric particulate mutagens such as the nitroarenes

(Rosenkranz and Mermelstein 1983 and each particulate extract was tested

on this strain both in the presence and the absence of manmalian metabolic ( activation (S9 Each sample was also tested on strains TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6 in the absence of S9 as a possible indication of nitroarene

VII-1

mutagenicity TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 are isolates of TA98 which are

deficient in a nitroreductase Rosenkranz and Speck 1975 McCoy et al

1981 and a transacetylase enzyme (McCoy et al 1983 Orr et al 1985

Saito et al 1985 respectively The deficiency or these enzymes which

are required in the activation of many nitroarenes to penultimate

mutagens renders these strains less sensitive than TA98 to many mutagenic

nitroarenes Thus when a complex mixture exhibits less activity on

TA98NR or TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 it may be an indication of the

contribution of ni troarenes to the mutagenic activity of that sample

Table VII-1 shows the response of TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to

TA98 for several mutagenic atmospheric nitroarenes

The strains were cultured in 40 mL of L-broth for 12 hours at 37degC

with shaking The culture density was estimated by its absorbance at 550

nm and each strain was diluted with fresh medium to an absorbance

previously calculated to yield the standard culture density of 109 colony

forming units per mL (approximately 028 absorbance units) After

dilution the cultures were maintained in an ice bath for the duration of

the test The titer of each culture was determined by dilution and

plating on histidine-supplemented medium E The standard genotypic

markers which were routinely checked were crystal violet sensitivity UV

sensitivity and ampicillin resistance Three standard positive-control

mutagens were tested on each strain 1) 2-nitrofluorene a positive

control mutagen which we have used for the past ten years to check the

response of TA98 was also used to check the reduced response of TA98NR

relative to TA98 2 18-dinitropyrene was used to check the reduced

response of TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 and TA98NR for nitroarenes

which require the Salmonella transacetylase for activation and 3)

quercetin was used to check the equivalent response of these strains to

non-nitroarene mutagens Additionally benzo(apyrene was tested on

TA98(+S9) to check the response of this strain to indirect mutagens

Our testing protocol consistently results in somewhat higher

mutagenicities than other laboratories which we attribute primarily to

the use of L-broth instead of Oxoid broth to culture the tester strains

L-broth has about twice the amount of histidine as does Oxoid and its use

results in larger amounts of histidine on the test plate Because it is

the limiting growth factor a higher amount of histidine results in a

higher number of cells on the test plate and hence a higher number of

revertants (Maron and Ames 1983) The use of L-broth also results in a

somewhat denser background lawn of unreverted Salmonella but colony

morphology and visibility are unaffected

S9 Mix Arochlor 1254-induced rat liver S9 was prepared by Litton

Bionetics Inc according to the method of Ames et al (1975) and containshy

ed 26 mg mL- 1 protein (manufacturers analysis) NADP was purchased from

Boehringer Mannheim and glucose-6-phosphate was purchased from Sigma

Chemical Company

The S9 mix was prepared by the standard protocol (Ames et al 1975

Maron and Ames 1983) with 001 ml S9 per plate c2i vv mix) This S9

concentration was chosen since we have previously found a 2i vv mix to be

optimal in activating ambient particulate extracts collected in southern

California Frequently the use of S9 in testing ambient POM results in a

net decrease in activity as deactivation of direct mutagens overrides the

presumed activation of indirect mutagens such as the PAH Many

nitroarenes are also subject to this S9 suppression of activity

VI-3

Testing Protocol The standard Ames Salmonella plate incorporation

mutagenicity test was performed according to the method of Ames and coshy

workers (Ames et al 1975 Maron and Ames 1983) with some modifications to

improve its accuracy and precision (Belser et al 1981) Because of the

large number of plates required for the complete set of samples the

extracts were assayed in two tests 1) TA98 with and without S9 and 2)

TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 without S9 By dividing the tests by strain the

variation in response within one sample set was minimized Each extract

was tested in triplicate at eight doses chosen to logarithmically span the

region of linear response observed in the past for ambient P0M In

anticipation of lower activities on TA98NR and TA981 8-DNP6 the doses

chosen for these strains were twice as great as those for TA98 Hence

each sample was tested at 3 6 11 21 38 70 135 and 250 microg plate- 1 on

TA98 and at 6 12 22 42 76 140 270 and 500 microg plate-1 on TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6

Each test was performed in a single afternoon by means of a procedure

designed to improve intraday precision Belser et al 1981) Darkroom

conditions were employed throughout to prevent any photodecomposi tion of

the samples which might occur under laboratory fluorescent 1 ights The

plates were incubated at 37degC for 63 hours and counted with a Biotran

automatic colony counter (New Brunswick Scientific) directly interfaced to

a microcomputer ( Apple II) The extract potencies or specific activishy

ties were obtained by 1 inear regression analysis of the dose-response

data in the region of linear response The slope of the dose-response 1curve is the specific activity in revertants microg- The ratios of the

specific activities on strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98

were then calculated

From the specific activities the extract weights and the weights of

the particulate matter collected the potencies of the particulate matter

or mutagen loadings in revertants per mg of particulate matter collected

were calculated Finally from the specific activities the extract

weights and the volumes of sampled air the airborne mutagenicity conshy

centrations or mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of sampled air

were calculated

in Tables VII-2 to VII-5 The concurrent General Motors Laboratories

mutagen density data (J Siak T L Chan and G T Wolff private

connnunication) are included in Table VII-5 for comparison As we have

observed before in southern California the sampled POM was principally

directly active the average direct activity (TA98 -S9 was 345 rev m-3

as compared to 332 rev m-3 with metabolic activation TA98 +S9 Figure

VII-1 shows the mutagen density with and without S9 observed during this

study The values are intermediate in the range of mutagen densities we

have observed before in southern California and followed a general trend

towards higher values at the end of the study Figure VII-2 shows the

TA98 +S9 to TA98 -S9) ratio together with the TA98 (-S9) mutagen

density which are anticorrelated Thus sampling periods with higher

direct mutagenicity tended to be those which exhibited less promutagenshy

icity and greater direct activity This observation is consistent in a

qualitative manner with the presence in ambient POM of nitroarenes

The final nighttime sampling period during this study 820-2186

2000-0800 PDT) was unusual because of the high levels of volatile and nonshy

volatile nitroarenes present in the atmosphere For example the 2-nitroshy

fluoranthene concentration was a factor of ~5 greater than on the previous

day and the 1-nitronaphthalene concentration increased by over a factor of

two Concurrent observations of the presence of the nitrate radical

indicated that chemistry could have been occurring on this nightN2o5 Our measured mutagen density however declined by a factor of two

inconsistent with these other observations Moreover in contrast to our

results researchers at General Motors Laboratories using CH2c12 as an

extraction solvent observed a significant increase in mutagenicity (TA98

-S9) from the daytime 82086 0800-2000 PDT) sample to the nighttime

(820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) sample in their tests Since we had used a

benzene-methanol azeotrope as the extraction solvent system we decided to

retest the POM collected during these final two sampling periods using

dichloromethane as the extraction solvent

For this second mutagenicity test using CH2c12-extraction POM

collected on TGF filters in Hi-vol samplers modified to allow PUF plugs

to be placed downstream from the filters was employed These modified Hishy

vol samplers were operated at a flow rate or 23 SCFM instead of the

conventional 40 SCFM) to ensure that the flow controller remained

operative One filter from the daytime (82086 0800-2000 PDT) and one

filter from the nighttime 820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) collection period

were Soxhlet extracted for 16 hours with CH2c12 and tested on TA98 -S9)

The results or this collection and mutagenicity test are given in

Table VII-6 together with the data for our previous test of the benzene-methanol extracts As can be seen from the TSP data the modified

samplers collected more particulate matter than the standard Hi-vol as

expected since these Hi-vols were not equipped with a size-selective

inlet This was not expected to have greatly affected the mutagenicity

results however because very little mutagenicity is present on particles

larger than -10 micro

The more polar benzene-methanol solvent system extracted much more

material than did CH2c12 bull Despite the larger amount of polar material

present in the benzene-methanol samples the mutagen density for the

nighttime sample is three-fold lower than for the corresponding CH2c12-

extracted sample In contrast the mutagen density for the benzeneshy

methanol daytime sample is somewhat higher than for the corresponding

CH2c12-extracted sample Apparently the polar material in the benzeneshy

methanol extract of the nighttime sample inhibited the mutagenicity of

this extract probably through toxic or bacteriostatic action In

contrast the mutagenici ty of the polar compounds in the daytime sample

overcame any inhibitory effect

These observations illustrate the inherent compromises in choosing a

solvent system for extracting ambient POM The benzene-methanol solvent

system was chosen precisely because it extracts more polar material than

does CH2c12 and does not generate the artifactual mutagenicity associated

with the use of acetonitrile Indeed because inhibitory compounds may be

of the same polarity as mutagens every solvent system must result in an

underestimation of the mutagenicity of ambient POM This underscores the

need for identification and quantification of ambient mutagens Once

identified and tested for mutagenicity in their pure form the known

mutagens in a sample can be quantified and an accurate sum of their

mutagenicities can be obtained

VIII CONCLUSIONS

The objectives of SAPRCs involvement in the ARB-funded CSMCS study

held at Citrus College Glendora CA during the period August 12-21

1986 were met Using long pathlength differential optical absorption and

Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopic techniques the

ambient concentrations of N02 HONO HCHO HN03 NH3 and the N03 radical

were monitored in an essentially continuous mode throughout this study

period Since these data were obtained using absolute in-situ spectroshy

scopic methods they have served as benchmark data for the evaluation of

other more portable measurement methods for the determination of HCHO

and HN03 concentrations during the SCAQS carried out in 1987

Based upon the experimental methods used and ambient air concentshy

ration data obtained in our recent study at El Camino Conmtunity College

Torrance we were able to employ a complementary set of sampling techshy

niques to provide a comprehensive data set concerning the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of both volatile and non-volatile PAH and nitroshy

arenes during this study at Citrus College Ambient atmospheric concenshy

tration data were obtained for the following PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-

methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene

phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)shy

anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene and the following

nitroarenes 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3- and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene The ambient concentrations of

the PAH cover a very large range (gt1000) with the most volatile PAH naphshy

thalene being the most abundant Indeed the naphthalene concentration

exceeded 1 ppb during the 12-hr nighttime period 2000-0800 PDT on August

20-21 and averaged 0 7 ppb (3700 ng m-3) over the entire study period

The next most abundant PAH were the 1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes with 2-

methylnaphthalene being about twice as abundant as 1-methylnaphthalene

The ambient concentrations of the PAH exhibited diurnal variations

with the concentrations generally being higher during the nighttime

sampling periods than during the daytime periods This diurnal variation

can most readily be seen for the volatile PAH which were sampled onto the

high and low flow Tenax cartridges and for which individual 12-hr analyses

were carried out This diurnal variation could in general be due to

VIII-1

differing daynight emission rates meteorology (with lower inversion

heights and hence higher concentrations during the nighttime periods

andor differing atmospheric removal rates due to chemical reactions The

observation (Table VI-1 that the magnitude of the diurnal variation

depended on the specific PAH with the largest variations being for the

most chemically reactive PAH indicates that part of this variation was

due to chemical removal of the PAH during daytime hours

The 2-3 ring PAH monitored using the Tenax cartridge system all react

with the OH radical during daylight hours (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and

Aschmann 1987b) with expected lifetimes due to this OH radical reaction

of approximately 3 days for biphenyl and fluorene and 2-12 hrs for the

other PAH The PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene acenaphthene

acenaphthylene and phenanthrene also react to a lesser extent with N2o5bull

In addition acenaphthene and acenaphthylene also react with N03 radicals

(Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) bull These andor radical removalN2o5 N03 processes were likely to be of minor significance during this study since

the N03 radical (and hence N2o5) concentrations were low In addition

acenaphthylene reacts with Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) with thiso3 removal process again being most important during daytime Interestingly

the ratio (average nighttime concentrationaverage daytime concentration)

correlates well with the OH radical reaction rate constant (which varies

from 7 x 10-12 cm3 molecule- 1 s-1 for biphenyl to 1 1 x 10-10 cm3 moleshy1cule-1 s- for acenaphthylene (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and Aschmann

1987b) as shown by the plot in Figure VIII-1 This good correlation

confirms our expectation that daytime reaction with the OH radical is an

important atmospheric removal process for the PAH present in the gas

phase

The nitroarenes also exhibit a diurnal concentration profile as

shown in Figure VIII-2 which gives our earlier data from Torrance CA

(Winer et al 1987) as well as from Citrus College Again this observed

diurnal variation in the nitroarene concentrations can be due to differing

emission rates differing formation rates from their parent PAH during

transport through the atmosphere meteorology or differing removal rates

during daytime and nighttime periods Our data for the PAH (Figure VIII-1)

show that meteorology at Citrus College had a relatively minor effect of

the order of 20J (estimated from the intercept representing no OH radical

( reaction) on the daynight concentration ratio Further it is expected

(Atkinson et al 1987) that the atmospheric OH radical reactions of the

nitroarenes will be relatively slow Hence since 3-nitrobiphenyl is not

expected to be emitted and the daytimenighttime emission rates of the

nitronaphthalenes are not likely to vary significantly the observed difshy

ferences in the daynight concentration profiles for 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl strongly suggest differing formation rates

In particular our observation that the daytime concentrations of 3-nitroshy

biphenyl are always higher than the nighttime concentration ( in total

contrast to the situation for the PAH) shows that 3-nitrobiphenyl must be

made in the atmosphere during daytime hours Indeed we have shown from

laboratory studies (Atkinson et al 1987) that the daytime OH radical

reaction with biphenyl (the only significant atmospheric chemical removal

process for biphenyl) forms 3-nitrobiphenyl in approximately 5j yield

1- and 2-Nitronaphthalene are also formed from the reaction of OH radicals

with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) but these nitroarenes can also be

formed from the nighttime reaction of naphthalene with N2o5 (Atkinson et

al 1987)

In our previous study in Torrance CA (Winer et al 1987) N03 radicals were not present during nighttime hours and hence the N2o5 forshy

mation route to the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes was not operative and the

daytime concentrations of the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes and 3-nitroshy

biphenyl were higher than during the nighttime as expected from a daytime

formation pathway via OH radical reaction from their parent PAH In

contrast at Citrus College N03 radicals were observed on several

evenings and both daytime and nighttime formation of 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene was hence possible (note that 3-nitrobiphenyl could only be formed

during the daytime) Indeed while the daytime 3-nitrobiphenyl concenshy

trations were higher than the nighttime concentrations the 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene concentrations were as high or higher during the

nights Even more interesting is the observation that during daytime the

1- and 2-nitronaphthalene concentrations were comparable consistent with

the similar formation yields from the daytime OH radical-initiated reacshy

tions with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) During nighttime however

the 1-nitronaphthalene concentrations were significantly higher than the

2-nitronaphthalene concentrations consistent with nighttime formation

from N2o5 reaction with naphthalene for which the 1- and 2-nitronaphthashy

lene yields are 15J and 7J respectively (Atkinson et al 1987

The ambient nitroarene concentrations also vary widely from compound

to compound and as with the PAH the most volatile nitroarenes are again

the most abundant Indeed as shown in Table VIII-1 the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl

(measured at both Torrance (Winer et al 1987) and Citrus College are

comparable to the ambient concentrations of fluoranthene and (not shown)

pyrene and are generally an order of magnitude higher than the concenshy

trations of 2-nitrofluoranthene the most abundant particle-associated

nitroarene

As noted in previous sections of this report the PAH themselves are

not directly mutagenic in the Ames assay without microsomal activation

The ambient atmospheric concentrations of the particle-associated nitroshy

arenes (which are direct-acting mutagens when combined with their

mutagenic activities (Table VII-1) allow the ambient mutagenic densities

resulting from the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (by far the most

abundant particle-associated nitroarenes to be calculated Table Vlll-2

8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene for the six time-periods for

nitropyrenes ranged from approximately 1-9 rev m-3_ 2-Nitrofluoranthene

buted by the nitroarenes of molecular weight 247

These calculated nitrofluoranthene and nitropyrene mutagen densities

account for typically 10J of the measured ambient mutagenicity It is

difficult to cite a definite numerical contribution of the nitrofluorshy

anthenes and nitropyrenes to ambient mutagenicity due to potential

problems in the Ames assay as discussed in Section VII above This 10J

figure for the contribution of the particle-associated nitroarenes to

ambient mutagenicity is consistent with the values given by Arey et al

(1988) and shows that the majority ie typically 90j of the mutagenishy

city of ambient POM is presently unaccounted for Ihis as yet unaccountshy

ed for direct-acting mutagenicity could be associated with other PAH-

VIII-6

( derivatives formed in the atmosphere during transport from source to

receptor or from other classes of organics Further work to attempt to

determine the identity of these other mutagens and their sources (direct

emissions versus atmospheric formation) is clearly necessary

I bull PROJECT SUMMARY

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides of nitrogen precursors are complex and

it is necessary to have measurements of the reactant and product species

in as detailed a manner as possible in order to provide a data base

suitable for input into airshed computer models These organic compounds

may be distributed between the gas and particle phases and hence measureshy

ments of their concentrations in both phases must be carried out In

order to allow for a methods development and methods intercomparison prior

to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California

Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two methods intercomparison studies one

in 1985 at Claremont concerning the measurement of nitrogenous species

and a second at Citrus College GleQdora during August of 1986 dealing

principally with the intercomparison of measurement methods for organic

and carbonaceous species

In the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study (CSMCS) at

Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center

(SAPRC) carried out the measurement of several inorganic and organic

species Specifically the following measurements were made

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS) we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02) nitrous acid (HONO) and

formaldehyde (HCHO

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption specshy

troscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) ammonia (NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF)

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbons PAH) and nitroarenes

The DOAS and FT-IR systems utilized 25 m base-path multiple-reflecshy

tion optical systems aligned parallel to one another with the optical

beams being -24 m above the ground surface An extensive data set for

the gas-phase concentrations of N02 HONO HN03 HCHO (by both DOAS and

FT-IR spectroscopy NH3 and the N03 radical was obtained during this

study period The complete data set is tabulated in detail in Sections IV

1-1

and V of this report and Figures I-1 and I-2 show the HCHO HN03 and NH3 time-concentration profiles obtained by FT-IR spectroscopy (Figure I-1)

and the HONO time-concentration profile as monitored by DOAS (Figure I-2)

respectively These two figures and the data presented in Sections IV and

V show that significant concentrations of these pollutants were present

during this sampling period with ambient concentrations of up to

approximately 140 45 30 20 and 15 ppb for N02 BONO HN03 HCHO and

w3 respectively A definitiVe measurement of the presence of No3 radicals was made only on one night during this study (due to the

detection limit for this species) with a peak N03 radical concentration

of 70 ppt being measured on the night of August 13 The presence of N03 radicals at levels lt40 ppt was observed on the evenings of August 13 19

and 20

Ambient particulate organic matter (POM) was collected on a 12-hr

daytime and nighttime sampling period (0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT) and

was tested for mutagenicity towards Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98

with and without added S9) TA98NR (-S9) and TA9818-DNP6 (-S9) The

measured mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of air sampled are given

in Table I-1 These mutagen densities are consistent with those we have

measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin As also observed

previously the mutagen densities and mutagenic activity of the POM

measured in the presence and absence of S9 are essentially indistinguishshy

able with average mutagen densities (strain TA98) of 33 and 35 rev bull-3 with and without S9 respectively

Ambient air was also sampled on filters and solid adsorbents in order

to collect the gas- and particle associated PAH and PAH-derivatives for

combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis Three collection

systems were used to sample ambient air low and high-flow ( 1 and 10 L

min- 1 respectively) cartridges packed with Tenax-GC solid adsorbent to

sample the volatile PAH such as naphthalene and the methylnaphthalenes

Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters backed up by polyurethane

foam (PUF plugs to sample the semi-volatile PAH and nitroarenes present

were exposed The Glendora site was chosen as the site impacted by

vehicle emissions The mutagenicity data and the concentrations of the

11 INTRODUCTION

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides or nitrogen precursors are exceedingly

complex and in order to provide a data base suitable for input into

airshed computer models it is necessary to have measurenents of the reacshytant and product species in as detailed a manner as possible Since these

organic compounds may be distributed between the gas anltI particle phases

measurements of both the gas- and particle-phase concentrations of organic

chemicals must be carried out In order to allow for a methods developshy

ment and methods intercomparison prior to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two

methods intercomparison studies one in 1985 at Clarsont concerning the

measurement of nitrogenous species and a second at Citrus College

Glendora during August of 1986 dealing principally with the intercomparishy

son or measurement methods for organic and carbonaceous species

In this Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study at Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Researcplusmn Center (SAPRC) was

involved in the measurement of a number of inorganic and organic species

Specifically we measured the atmospheric concentrations of the following compounds

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02 nitrous acid (HONO) and formaldehyde (HCHO)

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) anmonia NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyllethane foam PUF

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber TIGF filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbOns (PAH) and nitroarenes

Furthermore the measurements of the ambient atmspheric concentrashy

tions of PAH and PAH-derivatives at Citrus College formed one part of a

further ambient measurement study funded by the ARB Contract No AS-185-

32 dealing with the ambient concentrations of PAH ant PAR-derivatives at

11-1

seven sites throughout California impacted by differing combustion

emission sources The Citrus College site served as the vehicle emissionshyimpacted site for this study

The description or the site at Citrus College Glendora and the

experimental procedures and data obtained from these measurement methods are detailed in the following sections

111 DESCRIPTION OF SITE

As noted earlier this monitoring program was conducted in conshy

junction with the ARB-funded carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison

Study As shown in Figure 111-1 the ARB selected a site adjacent to the

football stadium on the campus of Citrus College for this study The

orientation and relationship of the long pathlength n-IR and OOAS systems

to other investigators is shown in Figure 111-2 The SAPRC high-volume

(Hi-vol) samplers were located Just north of the mobile vans and trailers

of other investigators The optical spectrometers were elevated on

concrete blocks to achieve a 24 m (8 ft) height for the optical beams in

order to minimize the influences or dry deposition of nitric acid and

other nitrogenous species This requirement necessitated a major

restructuring or the FT~IR and DOAS instrument supports In order to

augment the 12 m 4 ft height initially designed into the optical axes

or both of the long pathlength mirror assemblies while at the same time

preventing extraneous vibrations the spectrometers mirror systems and

their housings wereset on massive concrete blocks

Six 4 ft x 4 ft x 10 ft concrete structures were rented from the

Pyramid Precast company which provided the necessary machinery to

position the blocks on premarked areas at the study site Three of these

blocks constituted the support platform for the FT-IR and DOAS assemblies

at each end of the optical path (see Figure 111-2) New 9 ft x 12 ft

sheds were procured and constructed on these platforms during the last

week of August and the first week of September Subsequent assembly and

testing of the spectrometers and optical systems was completed in time for

the scheduled start of the field study on September 11 1985

As shown in Figure 111-2 the two SAPRC 25 m basepath optical systems

were set up parallel to each other and to the scaffolding which supported

most of the samplers from other groups participating in the intercomparishy

son study The optical systems were aligned in a north-south orientation

to minimize scattered light problems at sunrise and sunset and positioned

due west of the scaffolding and various mobile vans and trailers f The study period began at 0800 PDT on Tuesday August 12 and conshy

tinued until 0800 PDT on August 21 The FT-IR and DOAS systems operated

essentially continuously during this period with FT-IR spectra being

IV MEASUREMENTS OF HONO H()2 NO~ RADICALS AND HCHO BY DIFFERENTIAL OPTICAL ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

A Introduction

The development of a long pathlength OOAS system by Perner and Platt

1979) and its application and extension by these workers and by SAPRC

researchers Platt et al 1980ab 1981 1982 1984 Harris et al 1982

Pitts et al 1984ab 1985a) has provided a technique capable of sensishy

tive specific and time-resolved measurements of the ambient concentrashy

tions of a number of important atmospheric species including nitrous

acid formaldehyde the nitrate radical and nitrogen dioxide

In this section we briefly describe the design and operation of the

25 m basepath DOAS system employed to measure ambient levels of N03 radicals HONO N02 and HCHO during the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study and the results obtained during this measurement

period A more detailed description of the experimental system is provided in an earlier report to the ARB (Winer et al 1987)

B Experimental Methods

The 25 m basepath optical system (Figure IV-1) was of the threeshy

mirror White design but with an added corner reflector at the in-focus

end which effectively doubled its maximum pathlength capability The

mirrors were fabricated from 30 cm dia x 5 cm thick Pyrex blanks and

coated with a custom dielectric coating for optimum reflectivity in the spectral regions of interest

The DOAS system measures the ambient concentrations of trace

components which have distinct vibronic structures by their light

absorption in the near-ultraviolet (uv) and visible spectral regions

White light from a 75 W high pressure Xenon lamp was imaged by a spherical

mirror into the plane of the nesting (in-focus) mirror of the White cell

and then propagated through the multiple reflection optics until it

emerged from the system and was imaged onto the entrance slit of the

monochromator SPEX 1870 05 m) The light intensity was monitored by a

photomultiplier EMI 9659Q) and the signal acquired and averaged by a DEC

MINC 1123 minicomputer

With the DOAS a rotating slotted disk was used to allow rapid

scanning The slotted disk was formed by etching a set of exit slits (100

microm wide 10 m spacing) radially into a thin metal disk This disk was

rotated in the focal plane of the dispersed spectrua As each slit moved across the opening between the masks that block the two adjacent slits it

scanned a spectral range of -30-60 nm depending on the rotation frequency

of the slotted disk The orientation of the spectrometer grating

determined which specific spectral region was scanned As employed in its

final form in this program the slotted disk rotated at -4 Hz resulting in

a scan rate of -100 Hz well above the frequency distribution of

atmospheric turbulence (which otherwise would introduce unwanted structure

into the spectra)

As a slit became visible at the edge of the mask it was detected by

an infrared photodiode A trigger signal was sent to the computer which

continuously recorded digitized samples of the light intensity as the slit

scanned across the spectrum Since several tens of thousand such scans

were acquired and added in the computer memory within a few minutes this

improved the signal-to-noise ratio of the resulting spectrum The

rotational speed of the slotted disk was maintained constant to within

101j to preserve the spectral resolution while superimposing the scans

The computer was also used for spectral deconvolution and for the

calculation of optical densities

Since a single scan required only -10 msec atmospheric scintillation

effects had little effect on the signal Moreover since typically (2-8)

x 104 individual scans were recorded and signal-averaged over each several

minute measurement period even complete but momentary interruption of

the light beam had no appreciable effect on the final spectrum Except

under the haziest conditions stray light effects were negligible due to

the instruments narrow field of view -8 x 10-5 steradians] and in any

case stray light could be taken into account by means of appropriate

background spectra

The concentrations of atmospheric species were derived from Beers

Law However since the light intensity in the absence of any absorption

(1 0 ) cannot be obtained with this technique the differential optical

density was employed and thus only those compounds which have structured

absorption spectra could be measured Table IV-1 gives the characteristic

IV-3

absorption bands and detection limits for a number of atmospheric species

of interest based on a km pathlength It can be seen that the

detection limits range from 3 ppb for HCHO down to -10 ppt for the N03 radical For automatic scanning of spectra 32 or 40 reflections (corresshy

ponding to pathlengths of 800 and 1000 m respectively) were generally

employed and the corresponding detection limits for quantitative analyses

were then 06-07 ppb for HONO and 13-16 ppt for N03 radicals

C Results and Discussion

The SAPRC 25 m basepath DOAS system was set up at the Glendora site

in the specific orientation relative to other experiments conducted

during this field study as described in Section III

Essentially continuous DOAS measurements were conducted from August

13 until the morning of August 21 1986 Maximum ozone levels and peak

concentrations of N03 radicals during this study are sUD1Darized in Table

IV-2 Individual concentrations of HONO HCHO and N02 observed during

this period are given in tabular form in Appendix B and hourly average

data for these species are given in Tables IV-3 to IV-5 For the

majority of the time the pathlength was set to 800 m with a detection

limit equivalent to an optical density of 3 x o-14 bull The data reduction

process was more automated than previously and thus the detection limit was raised from 2 x 10-4 to 3 x 10-4 OD to offset the tendency of the

software to interpret noise at the detection limit as a peak The

corresponding detection limits were N02 35 ppb HOHO 08 ppb and

HCHO 45 ppb

Because the HONO and HCHO bands are overlapped by N02 bands and N02 is more abundant in the Los Angeles basin the DOAS spectra must be first

analyzed for N02 to enable its features to be quantitatively removed prior

to determining HONO and HCHO concentrations Figure IV-2 shows the timeshy

concentration profile for N02 from 0000 PDT on August 13 to 0800 PDT on

August 21 The solid line shows the DOAS data while the dashed line

shows measurements made by our chemiluminescence oxides of nitrogen

analyzer The two curves track each other very well during the nighttime

and early morning hours In the afternoon the NOx analyzer consistently

read 10 to 30 ppb higher since the DOAS values at those times were as low

as 15-25 ppb this caused a discrepancy of a factor of two or more The

higher values measured by the chemiluminescence method are attributed to

the known interferences of HN03 and PAN in this detection method

consistent with the levels or HN03 and PAN in the afternoon periods being

approximately equivalent to this difference in the DOAS N02 and chemilshy

uminescence N0x-H0 readings

After the quantitative removal of the N02 features from the OOAS

spectra the data reduction procedure utilized a simultaneous leastshy

squares fit or HON0 and HCHO reference spectra to the residual ambient air

spectra Figure IV-3 shows the time concentration profile for HCHO as

determined by DOAS (solid line) For comparison the FT-IR data from

Section V are shown as the dashed line The agreement between the two

methods is very good with the discrepancies being within the error

limits However it appears that the OOAS results for the first four

nights are consistently higher than the FT-IR data by about 1-3 ppb This

could be due to an overestimation of HCH0 absorption features in the OOAS

spectra since the reported FT-IR HCH0 levels were at or below the DOAS

detection limit of 45 ppb (where the signal-to-noise ratio was near

unity)

Finally the H0N0 time-concentration profile for August 13-21 is

presented in Figure IV-4 No comparison data are available for HON0 for

this study However as discussed above the only source of a large

systematic error would be the literature value for the HON0 absorption

cross-sections used in the calculations During the Citrus College field

study nighttime HON0 levels were higher than observed in the 1985

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study at Claremont where the maximum

HON0 concentrations were in the range 15 to 25 ppb For five of the

nights at Citrus College the HON0 concentrations were also in the same

range However for three nights H0N0 levels attained -35 ppb and

during the last night of the study H0N0 reached a maximum of Jamp5 ppb

There was however no correlation of the HON0 concentrations to the

nighttime N02 levels which were relatively constant at 60-75 ppb Since

the heterogeneous formation of H0N0 from N02 involves moisture correlashy

tions to other parameters such as relative humidity and particulate

loading may prove interesting

V LONG PATHLENGTH FT-IR MEASUREMENTS OF HN03 NH3 AND HCHO

A Introduction

As discussed elsewhere in more detail (Winer et al 1987) the long

pathlength FT-IR system was employed to provide benchmark data for the

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study held at Pomona College

(Claremont) in September 1985 Following this the FT-IR spectrometer

participated in our winter field study at El Camino CoDJDUnity College

(Torrance) Due to a need for a more detailed comparison of HN03 measurements by the FT-IR and tunable diode laser spectroscopic (TDLS)

methods than had been possible during the 1985 Claremont study the

longpath FT-IR system was subsequently set up in Glendora on the Citrus

College campus for more intensive measurements of HN03 and NH3 between

August 12-21 1986 In this study species coverage by the FT-IR method

was extended to include the measurement of formaldehyde (HCH0) Attempts

were also made to detect N2o5 in ambient air by thorough examination of

the spectra recorded in the late afternoon and evening hours Alllllonia

(NH3) was included among middot the species measured since in certain

localities it can profoundly affect the concentration of gaseous HN03 by

its reaction to form aerosol anmonium nitrate (Doyle et al 1979 Tuazon

et al 1980)

B Experimental

1 Kilometer Pathlength FT-IR System

Measurements of ambient air pollutants by infrared spectroscopy

were carried out using a recently constructed 25-m basepath open

multiple-reflection optical system interfaced to a Mattson Instruments

Inc Sirius 100 FT-IR spectrometer This spectr0111eter has a maximum

resolution capability of 0125 cm-1 and is equipped with a Motorola 68000-

based data system The long pathlength optics are of the three-mirror

White design (White 1942) with provisions for adding a corner reflector

at the in-focus end (Horn and Pimentel 1971) when desired to effectively

double the systems pathlength The mirrors in this new optical system

were fabricated from 30 cm diameter 6 cm thick Pyrex blanks and goldshy

coated for the best reflectivity (~99J) in the infrared The optimum

pathlength for monitoring was determined to be in the 1-1 5 km range

V-1

during routine operation although short-term use or optical patha greater

than 2 km were possible

As discussed in Section Ill the long pathlengtb FT-IR spectrometer

was operated alongside the long pathlength DOAS systell as shown in Figure

V-1 The optical layout of the FT-IR system is preaented in more detail

in Figure V-2 The sets or mirrors of the two spectrometers were arrayed

in opposite directions but aligned side by side in a compact arrangement

which made possible simultaneous analyses of virtually the same air

mass The FT-IR spectrometer was housed in an air conditioned shed while

the multiple reflection mirror assembly outside was shaded from direct

sunlight by protective shields While the spectrometer system had an

initial height of 1 2 m (above ground level) designed into the optical

axis this was raised to a total of 24 m (8 ft) the C0111110n sampling

height required for all analytical techniques being compared during this

field study Massive concrete blocks were employed as support structures

to attain this sampling height

2 Acquisition of Spectra

Spectra were recorded at a pathlength of 1150 meters and 0125 1cm- resolution unapodized) Sixty-four scans interferograms) were

added during a 45-min period and then transformed (calculation time of

-25 min) to a single beam spectrum Each spectrUII of 128 K points was 1truncated and the spectral region from 400 to 3000 cm- which contained

the absorption bands of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 used for analysis was retained

and archived

Four to five spectra per hour were collected This rate or data

collection permitted a real-time examination of the quality of spectra

being recorded and such checks were consistently made during daytime and

early evening hours 0800-2200 PDT) During the noncritical period of

2200-0600 hours when nitric acid was expected to be below the detection

limit the FT-IR spectrometer was programed to conduct automatic

monitoring

expanded plot or the HN03 spectrum in the range 870-910 cm- 1 is presented

in Figure V-11 to which is added a middotqualitative single beam spectrum or 1clean ambient air at a pathlength of 1150 m The Q-branch at 896 1 cm-

was the most appropriate one for quantitative measureaent because or its

favorable half-width and minimal interference by ataaspheric water vapor

We restricted our measurements to the heights of the sharp absorption (Qshy

branch) features only since measurements which include the broad undershy

lying envelope were more susceptible to unknown interferences The 8854 1cm- Q-branch was totally free of interferences but its relatively

narrower line shape was more susceptible to distortion by noise while the 1strongest Q-branch at 8789 cm- was severely overlapped by a strong water

line

Of the numerous sharp features of the NH3 spectna depicted in Figure

V-3 the lines at 11034 and 8679 cm-1 though not the strongest suffer

the least interference by H2o and CO2 absorption lines and were therefore

the ones chosen for analysis The line positions of NH3 relative to those

of atmospheric H20 (and CO2) in the 1080-1120 cm-1 region are shown in

Figure V-5 The calibration procedure for trn3 was straightforward

Spectra were recorded at O 125 cm- 1 resolution for several NH3 pressures

in the range 02-1 torr which were measured to within 10005 torr

accuracy with an MKS Baratron capacitance manometer The NH3 samples were

transferred to a 25-cm cell with KBr windows and pressurized with N2 gas

to atmospheric pressure No measurable decay of IH3 concentration was

observed within the 15-minute period during which repeat spectra were

recorded for each sample These data yielded absorptivities (base 10) at

23degC and 740 torr total pressure of 182 cm-1 atm-1 for the 11034 cm-1

peak and 97 cm-1 atm- 1 for the 8679 cm- 1 peak with uncertainties of t5J

(two standard deviations for both values

A similar calibration procedure was not possible for HN03 because of

its significant decay to the walls of the 25-cm cell We determined our

high resolution absorptivity values relative to the data of Graham and

Johnston (1978) who made an accurate determination of the absorptivity of

the HN03 4 ( 1325 cm- 1 fundamental band at -2 cm-1 resolution using two

independent methods for generating HN03 ( for more details see also Graham

1975) We assigned Graham and Johnstons ( 1978 absorptivity value

feature in our 0125 cm- 1 resolution spectrum after S1100thing the latter

to -2 cm-1 resolution The absorptivity tor a Q-branch (eg 8961 cm- 1)

at O 125 cm-1 resolution was then determined from the intensity ratio of

the unsmoothed Q-branch to the smoothed P-branch

Smoothing removes the fine structure superimposed on the bandv4 envelope and in order to test the adequacy of tbe smoothing function

1employed measurements were carried out in which 2 cm-1 and 0125 cm-

resolution spectra were recorded alternately for an 11103 sample To take

into account the HN03 decay in the cell the 1315 cm-1 peak heights at 2

cm- 1 resolution were plotted against time as were those or the 0125 cm- 1

resolution spectra after having been smoothed to -2 m-1 resolution The

two curves were found to be indistinguishable indicating the accuracy or

the smoothing function applied The above procedure yielded a value of

52 plusmn 04 cm- 1 atm-1 for the absorptivity (base 10) of the HN03 peak at

896 1 cm- 1 (Q-branch height only) with the two standard deviation error

including that reported by Graham (1975) This value is in fact the same

as that we previously determined for this peak at 05 cm-1 resolution

(Tuazon et al 1980) Following the same method the absorptivity of the

8854 cm-1 Q-branch was found to be 61 plusmn 05 cm-1 ata- 1bull

The calibration procedure for HCHO was the sue as that for NH bull3Formaldehyde samples were pre-distilled from paraformaldehyde and

immediately used after collection in a liquid nitrogen cooled trap The

absorptivity value of the 2781 0 cm- 1 Q-branch an absorption peak well

isolated from H2o absorptions was determined to be 89 plusmn 05 cm- 1 atm-1

4 Treatment of Data

The quantitative analysis of species such as NH3 which possess

relatively narrow Q-branch features which are sufficiently resolved from

atmospheric H2o absorptions was normally straightforward The absorbance

(log 10 1 was derived directly from the single beaa spectrum and thus a

ratio plot against an actual background spectrum was not necessary Proshy

vided that the detector had a linear response 10

and I as determined from

a single beam spectrum had values on an arbitrary scale in which zero

corresponded to zero signal on the detector The appropriate differential

absorption coefficient such as those determined above and the absorption

pathlength had to be applied to the absorption intensity measured between

V-9

and I in order to convert to concentration units This procedure was10

followed for the 11034 and 8679 cm-1 lines of NH3 Estimates of the HN03 concentration could also be obtained from

single-beam spectra by employing the 8854 cmmiddot1 Q-branch However the

HN03 analysis was more reliably carried out using the 8961 cm-1 Q-branch

by ratioing the sample spectrum with a clean background spectrum a

procedure which improved the baseline and resulted in essentially complete

cancellation of a very weak H20 interference Background spectra were

chosen from those recorded at around midnight during low pollution days

since previous measurements (Spicer et al 1982) showed HN03 levels that

were much lower (lt1 ppb) than the FT-IR detection limit under these

conditions

The peak-to-peak noise level in the ratio spectrum was typically

00025 absorbance unit base 10) corresponding to a 250 1 signal to

peak-to-peak noise ratio for single spectral records The absorption

peaks used for the analyses were much wider than the frequency of random

noise such that peak heights as small as the noise level could be

detected above the noise itself Thus the detection sensitivities were

3-5 ppb for HN03 1-2 ppb for NH3 and 2-3 ppb for HCHO The lower

detection limit for each compound was realized when turbulence due to

temperature gradients andor wind were minimal for example during

nighttime hours)

The possible detection of N2o5 depended on how well its broad band

centered at 1246 cm- 1 ( 12) could be discerned from interfering H20

absorptions The H2o interferences were reduced by ratioing the sample

spectra against selected background spectra taken during those periods

(mid-morning to noon) when N2o5 was believed not to be present due to the

rapid photolysis of No3 radicals Although exact cancellation of the H2o absorptions was not possible the windows between these absorptions were

sufficient to define a baseline from which the presence of a broad absorpshy

tion contour could be distinguished From the literature value of 188

cm- 1 atmmiddot 1 for the absorptivity of the 1246 cm-1 peak (Graham 1975 Graham

and Johnston 1978) it was calculated that 5 ppb N2o5 at a pathlength of

1150 m would give a signal of -001 absorbance unit (base 10) approxishy

mately 4 times the peak-to-peak baseline noise of the ratio spectrum

V-10

The largest source of uncertainty in the analyses was the noise level

in the spectrum with other errors being generally negligible We

assigned to each peak height measurement the maxillum error which was

equal to the peak-to-peak noise level For HN03 this error was 4 ppb

The uncertainty arising from the error in the absorptivity (of the 8961

cm- 1 Q-branch in this case) increased with the concentration However

this contribution to the overall error limit was relatively small for the

range of HN03 concentrations encountered For example it increased the

t4 ppb error by only 10j when included in the error calculation for an

HN03 concentration of 25 ppb For NH concentrations i20 ppb the sum of uncertainties due to noise3

and error in the absorptivity of the 11034 cm-1 line was plusmn15 ppb At

higher concentrations the contribution from the absorptivity error became

relatively more important A detailed plot of this error contribution as

a function of concentration revealed that it is nearly linear in the

concentration range 20 to 100 ppb permitting the additional error to be

calculated from the empirical formula (0044( [NH3]-20) ppb Thus for the measurement of 60 ppb NH3 the total error can be calculated as [ 15 +

0 044 )( 60-20)] = plusmn33 ppb

For the range of HCH0 concentrations encountered in the 1986 Glendora

study the measurement errors were less than plusmn3 ppb

C Results and Discussion

As discussed in Section II our measurements were conducted in

conjunction with the CARB-sponsored Carbonaceous Species Methods

Comparison Study which occurred from 0800 PDT August 12 to 0800 PDT

August 21 1986 ln contrast with the low level of air pollution during

the 1985 Claremont summer field study this August 1986 measurement period

at Citrus College was characterized by moderately high levels of photoshy

chemical activity Except for the second day of measurements the maximum

hourly average o3 concentrations exceeded 200 ppb each day

The FT-IR spectra obtained were analyzed for the simultaneous concenshy

trations of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 The detailed instantaneous data are

presented in Table V-1 and are plotted in Figure V-6 The hourly average concentrations are presented in Tables V-2 to V-4 Except for periods of

power disruption on August 14 and the loss of most of the daytime data on

August 17 due to a fault in archiving the data onto agnetic tapes the

FT-IR system provided continuous coverage of HCHO and 1H3 concentrations

since they were always above the respective detection 11llits of -2-3 ppb

and -1-15 ppb HN~ was generally above the -3-Ji ppb detection

sensitivity between 0800 hr and 2000 hr each day throughout the study

period As for the 1985 Claremont and the 1986 Torrance studies N2o5 was

not observed above the estimated detection limit of 4 ppb

The FT-IR analysis of formaldehyde was easily carried out with the

use of single-beam spectra since the HCHO infrared spectrum has a Qshy

branch at 27810 cm-1 well isolated from other atmospheric absorptions

HCHO was included as one of the species to be measured by FT-IR (except

during the first day) because of the need for a standard against which

other HCHO methods employed at this study could be compared Our

contribution to this aspect of the carbonaceous species study was to

provide HCHO measurements by both DOAS and FT-IR spectroscopy either

method of which can serve as a benchmark standard l comparison or the

two sets of spectroscopic data for HCHO has been discussed in Section IV

and comparison with the results of the other HCHO methods is currently

being carried out by Dr Douglas Lawson of the CARB

The NH3 concentrations observed in Glendora (Table V-2) during the

first six days or the field study (September 12-17 were generally in the

range of 2-4 ppb These levels are similar to those aeasured during the

1985 Claremont study for the periods when there was no localized transport

of NH3 to the latter site from nearby agricultural sources NH3 levels

during the remaining days (August 18-21 were more variable and generally

about twice the above range of values (Figure V-6 he erratic pattern

found in the NH3 concentrations during these three days which is also

noticeable in the more well-defined HCHO and HN03 concentration profiles

(Figure V-6 could well be due to the prevailing wind conditions

The maximum instantaneous concentrations of HN~ attained 20 ppb or

higher during the eight days that the FT-IR measurements provided detailed

HN03 profiles (Figure V-6) with the highest concentration of 33 ppb being

observed on August 19 Comparison of our Dasibi ozone data with the FT-IR

measurements of HN03 showed a strong correspondence between the HN03 and

maxima This is illustrated in Figure V-7 for the pollution episodeso3 of August 15-16 where the hourly average HN03 concentrations (by FT-IR)

VI AMBIENT CONCENTRATIONS OF PAH AND NITRO-PAH

A Introduction

The PAH emitted from combustion sources exhibit a wide range of

volatility and are hence distributed in the atmosphere between the gas

and particle phases As we have shown previously (Arey et al 1987)

complementary sampling techniques are required to obtain a comprehensive

data set concerning the concentrations of volatile and non-volatile PAH

and their derivatives in the atmosphere Thus the volatile 2-ring PAH such as naphthalene which are present almost entirely in the gas-phase

can be quantitatively collected on Tenax GC solid adsorbent The nonshy

volatile 5-ring and larger PAH and 3- to 4-ring nitro-PAH are particle

associated and are collected totally on the Hi-vol filters The 3- and 4-

ring PAH of intermediate volatility and the 2-ring nitro-PAH can be

collected on PUF plugs as well as on the filters indicating that they are

either present mainly in the gas-phase or are blown-off the filter

during the collection period Thus three different collection media were

employed for the ambient air sampling at Citrus College Tenax-GC solid

adsorbent PUF plugs and Hi-vol filters The ambient air samples were

collected from August 12 to August 21 with 12-hr day (0800-2000 PDT) and

night (2000-0800 PDT) sampling intervals

B Experimental

1 Sampling Media Cleaning Procedure

Tenax-GC solid adsorbent was Soxhlet extracted in a cellulose

thimble for -5 hr in a 64 (vv) acetonehexane mixture After packing in

Pyrex tubes (using precleaned glass wool) the Tenax cartridges were

conditioned for -4 hr by heating at 275degC with nitrogen flowing through

them at -20 mL min- 1 The Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters

and PUF plugs were cleaned by Soxhlet extraction for -16 hr in methylene

chloride followed by another 16 hr extraction with methanol

2 Tenax-GC Cartridges Sampling and Analysis

Two sizes of Tenax-GC cartridge were used for the collection of

gas-phase PAH at different flow rates Low-flow cartridges consisted of

10 cm x 4 nnn id Pyrex tubes packed with 0 1 g of Tenax GC solid

adsorbent with sampling flow rates of -1 L min-1 yielding an -06 m3

VI-1

volume of air for each 12-hr sampling period High-flow cartridges

consisted of 10 cm x 1 cm id Pyrex tubes packed with 06 g of Tenax-GC

and operated at flow rates of -10 L min-1 resulting in -6 m3 of air

sampled during a 12-hr period Each low-flow cartridge was equipped with

back-up Tenax cartridge placed in series downstream from the first

cartridge to check for breakthrough

After sampling the Tenax cartridges were stored in dry-ice transshy

ported to SAPRC and stored in a freezer prior to analysis

For analysis deuterated internal standards were added to the lowshy

and high-flow Tenax cartridges respectively as follows in microg)

naphthalene-d5 (18 16) biphenyl-d10 (07 10) phenanthrene-d 10 (06

06) The low- and high-flow cartridges were eluted with 2 mL and 10 mL respectively of diethyl ether which was then solvent exchanged to -02

mL of acetonitrile (using a micro-Snyder apparatus for the high-flow

cartridges)

PAH identifications and quantifications were made by combined gas

chromatographymass spectrometry (GCMS) with multiple ion detection

(MID) as described in detail below

3 High-Volume Filters Followed by PUF Plugs Sampling and Analysis

Two high-volume sampler systems consisting of a TIGF filter

follow by four PUF plugs (-9 cm diameter x 5 cm thickness) [see Figure VI-

1] were run at -23 SCFM for 12 hr intervals yielding ambient samples

collected from -1000 m3 of air

Prior to analysis the PUF plugs were combined into six samples

consisting of a single day sample and a single nighttime sample from the

early portion of the study single day and single night samples from the

latter part of the study and composite samples from four day and four

nights Specifically the samples were (11) August 13 0800-2000 hr

(2) August 13-14 2000-0800 hr (3) August 15 16 17 and 18 0800-2000

hr (4) August 15-16 16-17 17-18 18-19 2000-0800 hr (5 August 20

0800-2000 hr (6 August 20-21 2000-0800 hr

The samples from a single 12-hr day or night collection period (ie

samples 1 2 5 and 6) each consisted of eight PUF plugs (four from each

of the two Hi-vols used and these were combined and extracted together

The composite samples 3 and 4 were each analyzed in two parts ~UF

plugs 1-3 (see Figure VI-1) and to check for breakthrough of the more

Soxhlet extracted overnight (-16 hr) with methylene chloride concentrated

by rotary evaporation under vacuum to -4 mL filtered through 045 microm

Acrodiscs (Gelman Sci) and concentrated further under a stream of

nitrogen to -500 microL

The extracts were fractionated by HPLC using an Altex semi-prepashy

rative scale Ultrasphere Silica column (1 cm x 25 cm) Figure VI-2 shows

a typical HPLC profile of a PUF plug extract together with the mobile

phase program employed A fraction containing the PAH was collected from

4 min to 22 min and a nitroarene-containing fraction from 22 min to 34

min The fractions were concentrated by rotary evaporation then taken

just to dryness under a stream of nitrogen After dissolving in acetoshy

nitrile or CH2c12 the PAH and nitroarene fractions were analyzed by

GCMS-MID as described below

4 Hi-Vols with TIGF Filters Sampling and Analysis

Seven Hi-vol samplers each equipped with a 10 microm cut-off inlet

were employed for POM collection The samplers were run at -40 SCFM

yielding an ambient sample collected from -800 m3 of air for each Hi-vol

over a 12-hr sampling period Two Hi-vols were employed solely for the

collection of POM used for mutagenicity testing The TIGF filters from

the remaining five Hi-vols were combined into six samples corresponding to

the PUF plug samples described above ie samples 1 and 2 and samples

5 and 6 comprised the single day and night samples from August 13-14 and

August 20-21 respectively and samples 3 and 4 were the composite day

and night samples from August 15-16 16-17 17-18 and 18-19 The filter

extraction and work-up procedure was as shown in Scheme VI-1 Each sample

was spiked with deuterated internal standards as follows (single 12-hr

5 GCMS Analyses

Compound identifications and quantifications were made using

either a Finnigan 3200 quadrupole GCMS interfaced to a Teknivent data

system or a Hewlett Packard 5890 GC interfaced to a Hewlett Packard 5970

mass selective detector MSD) both operated in the electron impact mode

(70 eV) The GC separations were done either on a 60 m DB-5 fused silica

capillary column with a cool on-column injection system (J ampWScientific

Inc) or on a 30 m DB-5 fused silica capillary column with splitless

injection Both columns eluted directly into the MS ion source

Calibration curves for the GCMS-MID quantification of the PAH were

made for the molecular ion peaks of the PAH using the corresponding

deuterated species (or the deuterated species most closely matched in

volatility and retention characteristics) as an internal standard The

C Results

1 Volatile PAH Sampled on Tenax-GC Cartridges

The most abundant PAH collected on the Tenaz-GC cartridges were

naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene GC~ analysis of Tenax

samples in the full scanning mode (rather than the MID mode used for

quantification) showed that not unexpectedly several alkylbenzenes were

also very abundant Table VI-1 sUJ11Darizes the ambient concentrations (ng

m-3) of the volatile PAH measured For reasons which will be detailed

below the naphthalene data from the low-flow cartridges have been

utilized while the data for the remaining PAH have been taken from the

values obtained from the high-flow cartridges

In Appendix B Table B-1 the microg quantities of each PAH measured on

the low-flow Tenax cartridges (for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications)

and the calculated total volumes for each sample are listed Replicate

injections gave reproducible values for naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylshy

naphthalene while the levels of biphenyl fluorene and phenanthrene were

too low for accurate quantification Also listed in Table B-1 are the

quantities of PAH observed on the back-up Tenax cartridges which were

also generally too low for accurate quantification Table B-2 lists the

microg quantities measured and volumes sampled for the high-flow cartridges

Since the volumes of air sampled on the high-flow cartridges was a factor

of 10 greater than the low-flow cartridges biphenyl fluorene and phenshy

anthrene could be accurately determined and in addition acenaphthylene

and acenaphthene were measured

Only traces of naphthalene were observed on the Tenax cartridges

which were back-up cartridges for the low-flow Tenax ie less than a

few percent of that measured on the primary cartridge Therefore

naphthalene was collected quantitatively on the low-flow Tenax Table VI-

2 compares the ambient naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene concenshy

trations calculated from the low-flow and high-flow Tenax cartridges The

high-flow values for naphthalene were consistently lower than those

obtained from the low-flow Tenax samples indicating that naphthalene was

not collected quantitatively at a collection rate of 10 L min- 1 at the

ambient temperatures encountered at Citrus College Hence the low-flow

Tenax values for naphthalene are given in Table VI-1

( There is good agreement between the nighttime concentrations of the

1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes calculated from the low- and high-flow Tenax

samples For the daytime samples when the observed concentrations were

generally low the high-flow values tended to be somewhat higher than the

low-flow values and were judged to be more accurate It should be noted

that the low-flow values for 1-methylnaphthalene have been corrected for a

significant interference which was observed on the back-up Tenax

2 PAH Sampled on PUF Plugs

GCMS analysis of the HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts in

which the PAH elute (see Figure VI-2) showed this fraction to contain many

less abundant alkyl-PAH and dibenzothiophene as well as fluorene phenshy

anthrene anthracene fluoranthene and pyrene It must be remembered that

these PAH will be distributed between the gaseous and particle phases in

ambient air and that the quantities measured on the PUF plugs are the sum

of the PAH in the gas phase and the PAH initially present on the POM but

blown-off during the collection period

The ambient concentrations of five PAH and the sulfur heterocycle

dibenzothiophene measured on the PUF plugs are given in Table vI3 The

most abundant PAH collected on the PUF plugs was fluorene From the

composite samples in which the fourth PUF plugs were analyzed separately

it was obvious that fluorene (mw 166) and PAH of higher volatility were

not collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs since substantial amounts

were present on the fourth PUF (see Table VI-3) Consistent with fluorene

not being collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs the ambient concenshy

trations of fluorene listed in Table VI-1 from the Tenax cartridge quanshy

tifications are -2-5 fold higher than those listed in Table VI-3 The

ambient concentrations of phenanthrene measured on the PUF plugs and Tenax

cartridges agree to within better than a factor of two

Figure VI-4 shows the GCMS-MID traces of naphthalene and alkylshy

naphthalenes for the Tenax and PUF samples from the evening of 813-1486

From the Tenax sample trace it is clear that naphthalene was the most

abundant species (at a measured concentration of -5000 ng m-3)

Comparing the Tenax and PUF sample traces it is apparent that naphthalene

was retained on the PUF plugs only to a minor extent (with a measured

concentration of -2 ng m-3 Interestingly although not quantitatively

collected on the PUF plugs the presence of dimethylnaphthalenes in

ambient air is apparent from the PUF samples

3 Diurnal Variations in the Volatile PAH

The ambient concentrations of naphthalene measured for 12-hr day

and night sampling intervals throughout the Citrus College study are shown

in Figure VI-5 It can be seen from these data that the naphthalene conshy

centrations were generally higher during the evening sampling intervals

and that there was a trend toward higher concentrations in the latter part

of the study

The daytime and nighttime concentrations of _ and 2-methylnaphthashy

lene are shown in Figure VI-6 As observed for naphthalene the nighttime

concentrations were generally higher The concentration of 2-methylshy

naphthalene was consistently higher than that of 1-methylnaphthalene The

concentration profiles of the methylnaphthalenes were remarkably similar

perhaps indicating a common source and similar atmospheric loss processes

Reaction with the hydroxyl radical is expected to be the major loss

process for both species with essentially identical atmospheric lifetimes

for 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987a)

All of the volatile PAH were generally more abundant during the

nighttime than daytime sampling intervals (see Table VI-1 and VI-3

Meteorological factors such as inversion heights may certainly have played

a role in this observed trend at Citrus College bu it can be seen that

these diurnal variations are not solely due to meteorology by comparing

the diurnal profiles of species of differing reactiviy For example the

GCMS-MID traces for the molecular ion of biphenyl a11d acenaphthene (mz

154 for a typical daytime and nighttime Tenax sample are shown in Figure

VI-7 As seen from this figure acenaphthene [the ioore reactive of these

PAH (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b] was generally significantly more

abundant in the nighttime samples presumably beig removed by rapid

reaction with the OH radical during daylight hours

GCMS-MID traces of daytime and nighttime PUF samples showing the

analyses of isomeric PAH of differing reactivity are shown in Figures VI-8

and VI-9 While phenanthrene was abundant on both ~~e day and nighttime

PUF plug samples the relative abundance of anthracen~ to phenanthrene was

consistently higher at night Figure VI-8) Similarly acephenanthrylene

an isomer of fluoranthene and pyrene expected to be more reactive than

these PAH towards ozone (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) was generally not

observed in the daytime PUF samples from Citrus College (Figure VI-9)

4 Nitroarenes Sampled on PUF Plugs

The HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts eluting from 22 to 34

min (Figure VI-2) contained the volatile nitroarene species The most

abundant nitroarenes were 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene GCMS analysis in

the full scanning mode showed that this nitroarene-containing HPLC

fraction also contained alkylnitrophenols

Figure Vl-10 shows GCMS-MID traces from a typical analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug extract for 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene (NN) As

seen from this figure identification was based on the presence of several

characteristic fragment ions as well as retention time matching with the

1-nitronaphthalene-d7 internal standard Figure VI-11 shows the presence

of several peaks at mz 187 which elute after 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene

These peaks were identified as methylnitronaphthalenes ( 14 isomers are

possible on the basis of the presence of characteristic [M-N02]+ and [Mshy

HN02J+ fragment ions as well as the mz 187 molecular ion

GCMS-MID traces of a standard mixture of the three nitrobiphenyl

isomers and two isomers of nitroacenaphthene are shown in Figure VI-12

5-Nitroacenaphthene has previously been reported in ambient air (Tokiwa et

al 1981) At Torrance CA during a wintertime high-NOx episode we did

not observe nitroacenaphthene but measured high concentrations of the

isomeric species 3-nitrobiphenyl (Arey et al 1987) In Figure Vl-13 the

[Mr ions of the standard mixture are shown together with the [M)+ ions

and characteristic fragment ion traces obtained from the analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug sample As at Torrance CA the nitroarene isomer

of mw 199 observed at Citrus College was clearly 3-nitrobiphenyl

Table Vl-4 gives the microg quantities of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and

3-nitrobiphenyl collected on the PUF plugs at Citrus College From the

fourth PUF plugs of the composite samples it can be seen that 3-

nitrobiphenyl was quantitatively collected on the first three PUF plugs

Particularly during the daytime samples some breakthrough of 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene occurred In addition to these nitroarene species

traces of 9-nitroanthracene were observed in most of the Citrus College

PUF plug samples but the levels present were too low to quantify

5 PAH Sampled on TIGF Filters

As described in Section B above the extracts of the TIGF filters

were fractionated by HPLC HPLC fractions 2-5 (see Figure VI-3) were

collected as the PAH fraction with fractions 6-7 being chosen to include

the n i troarenes Through the use of deuterated internal standards it

became apparent that the higher molecular weight PAH such as dibenz(ah)shy

anthracene were eluting in HPLC fractions 6-7 The data reported here

for the PAH on filters will be for the lower molecular weight species

ie fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and

benzo(a)pyrene Fractions 6-7 will be analyzed for the higher molecular

weight PAH and the full range of data for PAH on particles will be given

in our final report for our on-going CARB project (Contract No A5-185-

32) A survey of ambient concentrations of selected polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons (PAH) at various locations in California

Table VI-6 lists values for fluoranthane pyrene benz(a)anthracene

chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene in the NBS SRM 1649 an air

particulate sample collected in Washington DC The values recently

reported by the NBS (Wise et al 1986) for analyses by GC and HPLC with

fluorescence detection along with our values determined by GCMS-MID are

given The extraction and clean-up procedures we used for the SRM

particles were as described in Section B for the Citrus College POM sample

analyses As can be seen from Table VI-6 the agreement between our

values and those reported by NBS is generally excellent

The microg quantities of the five PAH measured in the Citrus College POM

samples for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications are given in Appendix B

Table B-3 The concentrations of these five PAH in ng m-3 (averaging the

replicate values) are given in Table VI-7 Two additional samples 7 and

8 repeat day and night composites are also listed in Tables B-3 and

VI-7 It was found that in taking the benzenemethanol extracts to a

constant weight a significant fraction of the deuterated internal stanshy

dards fluoranthene-d 10 pyrene-d 10 and even 2-nitrofluoranthene-d9 were

lost The use of internal standards should of course allow for correcshy

tion of such losses Since all of the filters from each day or night

comprising these composites had not been extracted we made replicate

composite samples and extracted these replicates with dichloromethane As

can be seen from Table VI-7 the composites and the repeat composites

VI-28

agree to within better than a factor of two In our current procedure for

POM analyses the benzenemethanol extract is not taken to dryness

6 Nitroarenes Sampled on TlGF Filters

The ambient concentrations of the nitrofluoranthenes and nitroshy

pyrenes measured for the six Citrus College POM samples are given in Table

VI-7 As we have observed previously (Pitts et al 1985c Ramdahl et al

1986 Arey et al 1987) 2-nitrofluoranthene was the most abundant

particle-associated nitroarene The GCMS-MID trace of the molecular ion

for the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (mz 247) from the August 20-

21 1986 2000-0800 PDT sample is shown in Figure VI-14 This sample

VII AMBIENT MUTAGENICITY

A Introduction

For the past several years the mutagenicity of ambient P0M has been

recognized as a characteristic of polluted urban atmospheres Further-

more although airborne particulate matter contains many carcinogenic PAH

its mutagenic activity does not resemble that of the PAH which require

mammalian metabolic activation (S9) as a requisite for expression of their

mutagenicity in the Ames Salmonella test Instead ambient P0M is

directly active ie expressing mutagenicity without the addition of

S9 and thus showing that other classes of organic chemicals which are

direct-acting mutagens are also present in ambient air

As an integral part of the CSMCS carried out at Citrus College

Glendora we measured the mutagenicity of collected 12-hour particulate

samples both with and without mammalian metabolic activation on

Salmonella strain TA98 Additionally we obtained mutagenicity data on

strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6

B Experimental

Sample Preparation for Mutagenicity Testing As noted in Section

II I POM samples were collected on a 12-hr basis throughout the study

period from 0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT The collected particulate

matter from two Hi-vols fitted with 10 microm cut-off inlets was weighed and

the filters Soxhlet extracted for 16-hr using a benzenemethanol (8020

azeotrope The solvent was removed under vacuum and the extracts were

taken to dryness under a stream of dry nitrogen Prior to mutagenicity

testing the sample extracts were stored in the dark at -75degC On the day

of the test each extract was taken up in DMS0 using a 20-minute

sonication and serial dilutions in DMS0 were made from this stock

solution

Tester Strains Ames Salmonella strain TA98 was used because of its

sensitivity to atmospheric particulate mutagens such as the nitroarenes

(Rosenkranz and Mermelstein 1983 and each particulate extract was tested

on this strain both in the presence and the absence of manmalian metabolic ( activation (S9 Each sample was also tested on strains TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6 in the absence of S9 as a possible indication of nitroarene

VII-1

mutagenicity TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 are isolates of TA98 which are

deficient in a nitroreductase Rosenkranz and Speck 1975 McCoy et al

1981 and a transacetylase enzyme (McCoy et al 1983 Orr et al 1985

Saito et al 1985 respectively The deficiency or these enzymes which

are required in the activation of many nitroarenes to penultimate

mutagens renders these strains less sensitive than TA98 to many mutagenic

nitroarenes Thus when a complex mixture exhibits less activity on

TA98NR or TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 it may be an indication of the

contribution of ni troarenes to the mutagenic activity of that sample

Table VII-1 shows the response of TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to

TA98 for several mutagenic atmospheric nitroarenes

The strains were cultured in 40 mL of L-broth for 12 hours at 37degC

with shaking The culture density was estimated by its absorbance at 550

nm and each strain was diluted with fresh medium to an absorbance

previously calculated to yield the standard culture density of 109 colony

forming units per mL (approximately 028 absorbance units) After

dilution the cultures were maintained in an ice bath for the duration of

the test The titer of each culture was determined by dilution and

plating on histidine-supplemented medium E The standard genotypic

markers which were routinely checked were crystal violet sensitivity UV

sensitivity and ampicillin resistance Three standard positive-control

mutagens were tested on each strain 1) 2-nitrofluorene a positive

control mutagen which we have used for the past ten years to check the

response of TA98 was also used to check the reduced response of TA98NR

relative to TA98 2 18-dinitropyrene was used to check the reduced

response of TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 and TA98NR for nitroarenes

which require the Salmonella transacetylase for activation and 3)

quercetin was used to check the equivalent response of these strains to

non-nitroarene mutagens Additionally benzo(apyrene was tested on

TA98(+S9) to check the response of this strain to indirect mutagens

Our testing protocol consistently results in somewhat higher

mutagenicities than other laboratories which we attribute primarily to

the use of L-broth instead of Oxoid broth to culture the tester strains

L-broth has about twice the amount of histidine as does Oxoid and its use

results in larger amounts of histidine on the test plate Because it is

the limiting growth factor a higher amount of histidine results in a

higher number of cells on the test plate and hence a higher number of

revertants (Maron and Ames 1983) The use of L-broth also results in a

somewhat denser background lawn of unreverted Salmonella but colony

morphology and visibility are unaffected

S9 Mix Arochlor 1254-induced rat liver S9 was prepared by Litton

Bionetics Inc according to the method of Ames et al (1975) and containshy

ed 26 mg mL- 1 protein (manufacturers analysis) NADP was purchased from

Boehringer Mannheim and glucose-6-phosphate was purchased from Sigma

Chemical Company

The S9 mix was prepared by the standard protocol (Ames et al 1975

Maron and Ames 1983) with 001 ml S9 per plate c2i vv mix) This S9

concentration was chosen since we have previously found a 2i vv mix to be

optimal in activating ambient particulate extracts collected in southern

California Frequently the use of S9 in testing ambient POM results in a

net decrease in activity as deactivation of direct mutagens overrides the

presumed activation of indirect mutagens such as the PAH Many

nitroarenes are also subject to this S9 suppression of activity

VI-3

Testing Protocol The standard Ames Salmonella plate incorporation

mutagenicity test was performed according to the method of Ames and coshy

workers (Ames et al 1975 Maron and Ames 1983) with some modifications to

improve its accuracy and precision (Belser et al 1981) Because of the

large number of plates required for the complete set of samples the

extracts were assayed in two tests 1) TA98 with and without S9 and 2)

TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 without S9 By dividing the tests by strain the

variation in response within one sample set was minimized Each extract

was tested in triplicate at eight doses chosen to logarithmically span the

region of linear response observed in the past for ambient P0M In

anticipation of lower activities on TA98NR and TA981 8-DNP6 the doses

chosen for these strains were twice as great as those for TA98 Hence

each sample was tested at 3 6 11 21 38 70 135 and 250 microg plate- 1 on

TA98 and at 6 12 22 42 76 140 270 and 500 microg plate-1 on TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6

Each test was performed in a single afternoon by means of a procedure

designed to improve intraday precision Belser et al 1981) Darkroom

conditions were employed throughout to prevent any photodecomposi tion of

the samples which might occur under laboratory fluorescent 1 ights The

plates were incubated at 37degC for 63 hours and counted with a Biotran

automatic colony counter (New Brunswick Scientific) directly interfaced to

a microcomputer ( Apple II) The extract potencies or specific activishy

ties were obtained by 1 inear regression analysis of the dose-response

data in the region of linear response The slope of the dose-response 1curve is the specific activity in revertants microg- The ratios of the

specific activities on strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98

were then calculated

From the specific activities the extract weights and the weights of

the particulate matter collected the potencies of the particulate matter

or mutagen loadings in revertants per mg of particulate matter collected

were calculated Finally from the specific activities the extract

weights and the volumes of sampled air the airborne mutagenicity conshy

centrations or mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of sampled air

were calculated

in Tables VII-2 to VII-5 The concurrent General Motors Laboratories

mutagen density data (J Siak T L Chan and G T Wolff private

connnunication) are included in Table VII-5 for comparison As we have

observed before in southern California the sampled POM was principally

directly active the average direct activity (TA98 -S9 was 345 rev m-3

as compared to 332 rev m-3 with metabolic activation TA98 +S9 Figure

VII-1 shows the mutagen density with and without S9 observed during this

study The values are intermediate in the range of mutagen densities we

have observed before in southern California and followed a general trend

towards higher values at the end of the study Figure VII-2 shows the

TA98 +S9 to TA98 -S9) ratio together with the TA98 (-S9) mutagen

density which are anticorrelated Thus sampling periods with higher

direct mutagenicity tended to be those which exhibited less promutagenshy

icity and greater direct activity This observation is consistent in a

qualitative manner with the presence in ambient POM of nitroarenes

The final nighttime sampling period during this study 820-2186

2000-0800 PDT) was unusual because of the high levels of volatile and nonshy

volatile nitroarenes present in the atmosphere For example the 2-nitroshy

fluoranthene concentration was a factor of ~5 greater than on the previous

day and the 1-nitronaphthalene concentration increased by over a factor of

two Concurrent observations of the presence of the nitrate radical

indicated that chemistry could have been occurring on this nightN2o5 Our measured mutagen density however declined by a factor of two

inconsistent with these other observations Moreover in contrast to our

results researchers at General Motors Laboratories using CH2c12 as an

extraction solvent observed a significant increase in mutagenicity (TA98

-S9) from the daytime 82086 0800-2000 PDT) sample to the nighttime

(820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) sample in their tests Since we had used a

benzene-methanol azeotrope as the extraction solvent system we decided to

retest the POM collected during these final two sampling periods using

dichloromethane as the extraction solvent

For this second mutagenicity test using CH2c12-extraction POM

collected on TGF filters in Hi-vol samplers modified to allow PUF plugs

to be placed downstream from the filters was employed These modified Hishy

vol samplers were operated at a flow rate or 23 SCFM instead of the

conventional 40 SCFM) to ensure that the flow controller remained

operative One filter from the daytime (82086 0800-2000 PDT) and one

filter from the nighttime 820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) collection period

were Soxhlet extracted for 16 hours with CH2c12 and tested on TA98 -S9)

The results or this collection and mutagenicity test are given in

Table VII-6 together with the data for our previous test of the benzene-methanol extracts As can be seen from the TSP data the modified

samplers collected more particulate matter than the standard Hi-vol as

expected since these Hi-vols were not equipped with a size-selective

inlet This was not expected to have greatly affected the mutagenicity

results however because very little mutagenicity is present on particles

larger than -10 micro

The more polar benzene-methanol solvent system extracted much more

material than did CH2c12 bull Despite the larger amount of polar material

present in the benzene-methanol samples the mutagen density for the

nighttime sample is three-fold lower than for the corresponding CH2c12-

extracted sample In contrast the mutagen density for the benzeneshy

methanol daytime sample is somewhat higher than for the corresponding

CH2c12-extracted sample Apparently the polar material in the benzeneshy

methanol extract of the nighttime sample inhibited the mutagenicity of

this extract probably through toxic or bacteriostatic action In

contrast the mutagenici ty of the polar compounds in the daytime sample

overcame any inhibitory effect

These observations illustrate the inherent compromises in choosing a

solvent system for extracting ambient POM The benzene-methanol solvent

system was chosen precisely because it extracts more polar material than

does CH2c12 and does not generate the artifactual mutagenicity associated

with the use of acetonitrile Indeed because inhibitory compounds may be

of the same polarity as mutagens every solvent system must result in an

underestimation of the mutagenicity of ambient POM This underscores the

need for identification and quantification of ambient mutagens Once

identified and tested for mutagenicity in their pure form the known

mutagens in a sample can be quantified and an accurate sum of their

mutagenicities can be obtained

VIII CONCLUSIONS

The objectives of SAPRCs involvement in the ARB-funded CSMCS study

held at Citrus College Glendora CA during the period August 12-21

1986 were met Using long pathlength differential optical absorption and

Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopic techniques the

ambient concentrations of N02 HONO HCHO HN03 NH3 and the N03 radical

were monitored in an essentially continuous mode throughout this study

period Since these data were obtained using absolute in-situ spectroshy

scopic methods they have served as benchmark data for the evaluation of

other more portable measurement methods for the determination of HCHO

and HN03 concentrations during the SCAQS carried out in 1987

Based upon the experimental methods used and ambient air concentshy

ration data obtained in our recent study at El Camino Conmtunity College

Torrance we were able to employ a complementary set of sampling techshy

niques to provide a comprehensive data set concerning the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of both volatile and non-volatile PAH and nitroshy

arenes during this study at Citrus College Ambient atmospheric concenshy

tration data were obtained for the following PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-

methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene

phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)shy

anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene and the following

nitroarenes 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3- and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene The ambient concentrations of

the PAH cover a very large range (gt1000) with the most volatile PAH naphshy

thalene being the most abundant Indeed the naphthalene concentration

exceeded 1 ppb during the 12-hr nighttime period 2000-0800 PDT on August

20-21 and averaged 0 7 ppb (3700 ng m-3) over the entire study period

The next most abundant PAH were the 1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes with 2-

methylnaphthalene being about twice as abundant as 1-methylnaphthalene

The ambient concentrations of the PAH exhibited diurnal variations

with the concentrations generally being higher during the nighttime

sampling periods than during the daytime periods This diurnal variation

can most readily be seen for the volatile PAH which were sampled onto the

high and low flow Tenax cartridges and for which individual 12-hr analyses

were carried out This diurnal variation could in general be due to

VIII-1

differing daynight emission rates meteorology (with lower inversion

heights and hence higher concentrations during the nighttime periods

andor differing atmospheric removal rates due to chemical reactions The

observation (Table VI-1 that the magnitude of the diurnal variation

depended on the specific PAH with the largest variations being for the

most chemically reactive PAH indicates that part of this variation was

due to chemical removal of the PAH during daytime hours

The 2-3 ring PAH monitored using the Tenax cartridge system all react

with the OH radical during daylight hours (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and

Aschmann 1987b) with expected lifetimes due to this OH radical reaction

of approximately 3 days for biphenyl and fluorene and 2-12 hrs for the

other PAH The PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene acenaphthene

acenaphthylene and phenanthrene also react to a lesser extent with N2o5bull

In addition acenaphthene and acenaphthylene also react with N03 radicals

(Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) bull These andor radical removalN2o5 N03 processes were likely to be of minor significance during this study since

the N03 radical (and hence N2o5) concentrations were low In addition

acenaphthylene reacts with Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) with thiso3 removal process again being most important during daytime Interestingly

the ratio (average nighttime concentrationaverage daytime concentration)

correlates well with the OH radical reaction rate constant (which varies

from 7 x 10-12 cm3 molecule- 1 s-1 for biphenyl to 1 1 x 10-10 cm3 moleshy1cule-1 s- for acenaphthylene (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and Aschmann

1987b) as shown by the plot in Figure VIII-1 This good correlation

confirms our expectation that daytime reaction with the OH radical is an

important atmospheric removal process for the PAH present in the gas

phase

The nitroarenes also exhibit a diurnal concentration profile as

shown in Figure VIII-2 which gives our earlier data from Torrance CA

(Winer et al 1987) as well as from Citrus College Again this observed

diurnal variation in the nitroarene concentrations can be due to differing

emission rates differing formation rates from their parent PAH during

transport through the atmosphere meteorology or differing removal rates

during daytime and nighttime periods Our data for the PAH (Figure VIII-1)

show that meteorology at Citrus College had a relatively minor effect of

the order of 20J (estimated from the intercept representing no OH radical

( reaction) on the daynight concentration ratio Further it is expected

(Atkinson et al 1987) that the atmospheric OH radical reactions of the

nitroarenes will be relatively slow Hence since 3-nitrobiphenyl is not

expected to be emitted and the daytimenighttime emission rates of the

nitronaphthalenes are not likely to vary significantly the observed difshy

ferences in the daynight concentration profiles for 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl strongly suggest differing formation rates

In particular our observation that the daytime concentrations of 3-nitroshy

biphenyl are always higher than the nighttime concentration ( in total

contrast to the situation for the PAH) shows that 3-nitrobiphenyl must be

made in the atmosphere during daytime hours Indeed we have shown from

laboratory studies (Atkinson et al 1987) that the daytime OH radical

reaction with biphenyl (the only significant atmospheric chemical removal

process for biphenyl) forms 3-nitrobiphenyl in approximately 5j yield

1- and 2-Nitronaphthalene are also formed from the reaction of OH radicals

with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) but these nitroarenes can also be

formed from the nighttime reaction of naphthalene with N2o5 (Atkinson et

al 1987)

In our previous study in Torrance CA (Winer et al 1987) N03 radicals were not present during nighttime hours and hence the N2o5 forshy

mation route to the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes was not operative and the

daytime concentrations of the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes and 3-nitroshy

biphenyl were higher than during the nighttime as expected from a daytime

formation pathway via OH radical reaction from their parent PAH In

contrast at Citrus College N03 radicals were observed on several

evenings and both daytime and nighttime formation of 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene was hence possible (note that 3-nitrobiphenyl could only be formed

during the daytime) Indeed while the daytime 3-nitrobiphenyl concenshy

trations were higher than the nighttime concentrations the 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene concentrations were as high or higher during the

nights Even more interesting is the observation that during daytime the

1- and 2-nitronaphthalene concentrations were comparable consistent with

the similar formation yields from the daytime OH radical-initiated reacshy

tions with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) During nighttime however

the 1-nitronaphthalene concentrations were significantly higher than the

2-nitronaphthalene concentrations consistent with nighttime formation

from N2o5 reaction with naphthalene for which the 1- and 2-nitronaphthashy

lene yields are 15J and 7J respectively (Atkinson et al 1987

The ambient nitroarene concentrations also vary widely from compound

to compound and as with the PAH the most volatile nitroarenes are again

the most abundant Indeed as shown in Table VIII-1 the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl

(measured at both Torrance (Winer et al 1987) and Citrus College are

comparable to the ambient concentrations of fluoranthene and (not shown)

pyrene and are generally an order of magnitude higher than the concenshy

trations of 2-nitrofluoranthene the most abundant particle-associated

nitroarene

As noted in previous sections of this report the PAH themselves are

not directly mutagenic in the Ames assay without microsomal activation

The ambient atmospheric concentrations of the particle-associated nitroshy

arenes (which are direct-acting mutagens when combined with their

mutagenic activities (Table VII-1) allow the ambient mutagenic densities

resulting from the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (by far the most

abundant particle-associated nitroarenes to be calculated Table Vlll-2

8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene for the six time-periods for

nitropyrenes ranged from approximately 1-9 rev m-3_ 2-Nitrofluoranthene

buted by the nitroarenes of molecular weight 247

These calculated nitrofluoranthene and nitropyrene mutagen densities

account for typically 10J of the measured ambient mutagenicity It is

difficult to cite a definite numerical contribution of the nitrofluorshy

anthenes and nitropyrenes to ambient mutagenicity due to potential

problems in the Ames assay as discussed in Section VII above This 10J

figure for the contribution of the particle-associated nitroarenes to

ambient mutagenicity is consistent with the values given by Arey et al

(1988) and shows that the majority ie typically 90j of the mutagenishy

city of ambient POM is presently unaccounted for Ihis as yet unaccountshy

ed for direct-acting mutagenicity could be associated with other PAH-

VIII-6

( derivatives formed in the atmosphere during transport from source to

receptor or from other classes of organics Further work to attempt to

determine the identity of these other mutagens and their sources (direct

emissions versus atmospheric formation) is clearly necessary

I bull PROJECT SUMMARY

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides of nitrogen precursors are complex and

it is necessary to have measurements of the reactant and product species

in as detailed a manner as possible in order to provide a data base

suitable for input into airshed computer models These organic compounds

may be distributed between the gas and particle phases and hence measureshy

ments of their concentrations in both phases must be carried out In

order to allow for a methods development and methods intercomparison prior

to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California

Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two methods intercomparison studies one

in 1985 at Claremont concerning the measurement of nitrogenous species

and a second at Citrus College GleQdora during August of 1986 dealing

principally with the intercomparison of measurement methods for organic

and carbonaceous species

In the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study (CSMCS) at

Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center

(SAPRC) carried out the measurement of several inorganic and organic

species Specifically the following measurements were made

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS) we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02) nitrous acid (HONO) and

formaldehyde (HCHO

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption specshy

troscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) ammonia (NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF)

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbons PAH) and nitroarenes

The DOAS and FT-IR systems utilized 25 m base-path multiple-reflecshy

tion optical systems aligned parallel to one another with the optical

beams being -24 m above the ground surface An extensive data set for

the gas-phase concentrations of N02 HONO HN03 HCHO (by both DOAS and

FT-IR spectroscopy NH3 and the N03 radical was obtained during this

study period The complete data set is tabulated in detail in Sections IV

1-1

and V of this report and Figures I-1 and I-2 show the HCHO HN03 and NH3 time-concentration profiles obtained by FT-IR spectroscopy (Figure I-1)

and the HONO time-concentration profile as monitored by DOAS (Figure I-2)

respectively These two figures and the data presented in Sections IV and

V show that significant concentrations of these pollutants were present

during this sampling period with ambient concentrations of up to

approximately 140 45 30 20 and 15 ppb for N02 BONO HN03 HCHO and

w3 respectively A definitiVe measurement of the presence of No3 radicals was made only on one night during this study (due to the

detection limit for this species) with a peak N03 radical concentration

of 70 ppt being measured on the night of August 13 The presence of N03 radicals at levels lt40 ppt was observed on the evenings of August 13 19

and 20

Ambient particulate organic matter (POM) was collected on a 12-hr

daytime and nighttime sampling period (0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT) and

was tested for mutagenicity towards Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98

with and without added S9) TA98NR (-S9) and TA9818-DNP6 (-S9) The

measured mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of air sampled are given

in Table I-1 These mutagen densities are consistent with those we have

measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin As also observed

previously the mutagen densities and mutagenic activity of the POM

measured in the presence and absence of S9 are essentially indistinguishshy

able with average mutagen densities (strain TA98) of 33 and 35 rev bull-3 with and without S9 respectively

Ambient air was also sampled on filters and solid adsorbents in order

to collect the gas- and particle associated PAH and PAH-derivatives for

combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis Three collection

systems were used to sample ambient air low and high-flow ( 1 and 10 L

min- 1 respectively) cartridges packed with Tenax-GC solid adsorbent to

sample the volatile PAH such as naphthalene and the methylnaphthalenes

Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters backed up by polyurethane

foam (PUF plugs to sample the semi-volatile PAH and nitroarenes present

were exposed The Glendora site was chosen as the site impacted by

vehicle emissions The mutagenicity data and the concentrations of the

11 INTRODUCTION

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides or nitrogen precursors are exceedingly

complex and in order to provide a data base suitable for input into

airshed computer models it is necessary to have measurenents of the reacshytant and product species in as detailed a manner as possible Since these

organic compounds may be distributed between the gas anltI particle phases

measurements of both the gas- and particle-phase concentrations of organic

chemicals must be carried out In order to allow for a methods developshy

ment and methods intercomparison prior to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two

methods intercomparison studies one in 1985 at Clarsont concerning the

measurement of nitrogenous species and a second at Citrus College

Glendora during August of 1986 dealing principally with the intercomparishy

son or measurement methods for organic and carbonaceous species

In this Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study at Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Researcplusmn Center (SAPRC) was

involved in the measurement of a number of inorganic and organic species

Specifically we measured the atmospheric concentrations of the following compounds

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02 nitrous acid (HONO) and formaldehyde (HCHO)

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) anmonia NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyllethane foam PUF

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber TIGF filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbOns (PAH) and nitroarenes

Furthermore the measurements of the ambient atmspheric concentrashy

tions of PAH and PAH-derivatives at Citrus College formed one part of a

further ambient measurement study funded by the ARB Contract No AS-185-

32 dealing with the ambient concentrations of PAH ant PAR-derivatives at

11-1

seven sites throughout California impacted by differing combustion

emission sources The Citrus College site served as the vehicle emissionshyimpacted site for this study

The description or the site at Citrus College Glendora and the

experimental procedures and data obtained from these measurement methods are detailed in the following sections

111 DESCRIPTION OF SITE

As noted earlier this monitoring program was conducted in conshy

junction with the ARB-funded carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison

Study As shown in Figure 111-1 the ARB selected a site adjacent to the

football stadium on the campus of Citrus College for this study The

orientation and relationship of the long pathlength n-IR and OOAS systems

to other investigators is shown in Figure 111-2 The SAPRC high-volume

(Hi-vol) samplers were located Just north of the mobile vans and trailers

of other investigators The optical spectrometers were elevated on

concrete blocks to achieve a 24 m (8 ft) height for the optical beams in

order to minimize the influences or dry deposition of nitric acid and

other nitrogenous species This requirement necessitated a major

restructuring or the FT~IR and DOAS instrument supports In order to

augment the 12 m 4 ft height initially designed into the optical axes

or both of the long pathlength mirror assemblies while at the same time

preventing extraneous vibrations the spectrometers mirror systems and

their housings wereset on massive concrete blocks

Six 4 ft x 4 ft x 10 ft concrete structures were rented from the

Pyramid Precast company which provided the necessary machinery to

position the blocks on premarked areas at the study site Three of these

blocks constituted the support platform for the FT-IR and DOAS assemblies

at each end of the optical path (see Figure 111-2) New 9 ft x 12 ft

sheds were procured and constructed on these platforms during the last

week of August and the first week of September Subsequent assembly and

testing of the spectrometers and optical systems was completed in time for

the scheduled start of the field study on September 11 1985

As shown in Figure 111-2 the two SAPRC 25 m basepath optical systems

were set up parallel to each other and to the scaffolding which supported

most of the samplers from other groups participating in the intercomparishy

son study The optical systems were aligned in a north-south orientation

to minimize scattered light problems at sunrise and sunset and positioned

due west of the scaffolding and various mobile vans and trailers f The study period began at 0800 PDT on Tuesday August 12 and conshy

tinued until 0800 PDT on August 21 The FT-IR and DOAS systems operated

essentially continuously during this period with FT-IR spectra being

IV MEASUREMENTS OF HONO H()2 NO~ RADICALS AND HCHO BY DIFFERENTIAL OPTICAL ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

A Introduction

The development of a long pathlength OOAS system by Perner and Platt

1979) and its application and extension by these workers and by SAPRC

researchers Platt et al 1980ab 1981 1982 1984 Harris et al 1982

Pitts et al 1984ab 1985a) has provided a technique capable of sensishy

tive specific and time-resolved measurements of the ambient concentrashy

tions of a number of important atmospheric species including nitrous

acid formaldehyde the nitrate radical and nitrogen dioxide

In this section we briefly describe the design and operation of the

25 m basepath DOAS system employed to measure ambient levels of N03 radicals HONO N02 and HCHO during the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study and the results obtained during this measurement

period A more detailed description of the experimental system is provided in an earlier report to the ARB (Winer et al 1987)

B Experimental Methods

The 25 m basepath optical system (Figure IV-1) was of the threeshy

mirror White design but with an added corner reflector at the in-focus

end which effectively doubled its maximum pathlength capability The

mirrors were fabricated from 30 cm dia x 5 cm thick Pyrex blanks and

coated with a custom dielectric coating for optimum reflectivity in the spectral regions of interest

The DOAS system measures the ambient concentrations of trace

components which have distinct vibronic structures by their light

absorption in the near-ultraviolet (uv) and visible spectral regions

White light from a 75 W high pressure Xenon lamp was imaged by a spherical

mirror into the plane of the nesting (in-focus) mirror of the White cell

and then propagated through the multiple reflection optics until it

emerged from the system and was imaged onto the entrance slit of the

monochromator SPEX 1870 05 m) The light intensity was monitored by a

photomultiplier EMI 9659Q) and the signal acquired and averaged by a DEC

MINC 1123 minicomputer

With the DOAS a rotating slotted disk was used to allow rapid

scanning The slotted disk was formed by etching a set of exit slits (100

microm wide 10 m spacing) radially into a thin metal disk This disk was

rotated in the focal plane of the dispersed spectrua As each slit moved across the opening between the masks that block the two adjacent slits it

scanned a spectral range of -30-60 nm depending on the rotation frequency

of the slotted disk The orientation of the spectrometer grating

determined which specific spectral region was scanned As employed in its

final form in this program the slotted disk rotated at -4 Hz resulting in

a scan rate of -100 Hz well above the frequency distribution of

atmospheric turbulence (which otherwise would introduce unwanted structure

into the spectra)

As a slit became visible at the edge of the mask it was detected by

an infrared photodiode A trigger signal was sent to the computer which

continuously recorded digitized samples of the light intensity as the slit

scanned across the spectrum Since several tens of thousand such scans

were acquired and added in the computer memory within a few minutes this

improved the signal-to-noise ratio of the resulting spectrum The

rotational speed of the slotted disk was maintained constant to within

101j to preserve the spectral resolution while superimposing the scans

The computer was also used for spectral deconvolution and for the

calculation of optical densities

Since a single scan required only -10 msec atmospheric scintillation

effects had little effect on the signal Moreover since typically (2-8)

x 104 individual scans were recorded and signal-averaged over each several

minute measurement period even complete but momentary interruption of

the light beam had no appreciable effect on the final spectrum Except

under the haziest conditions stray light effects were negligible due to

the instruments narrow field of view -8 x 10-5 steradians] and in any

case stray light could be taken into account by means of appropriate

background spectra

The concentrations of atmospheric species were derived from Beers

Law However since the light intensity in the absence of any absorption

(1 0 ) cannot be obtained with this technique the differential optical

density was employed and thus only those compounds which have structured

absorption spectra could be measured Table IV-1 gives the characteristic

IV-3

absorption bands and detection limits for a number of atmospheric species

of interest based on a km pathlength It can be seen that the

detection limits range from 3 ppb for HCHO down to -10 ppt for the N03 radical For automatic scanning of spectra 32 or 40 reflections (corresshy

ponding to pathlengths of 800 and 1000 m respectively) were generally

employed and the corresponding detection limits for quantitative analyses

were then 06-07 ppb for HONO and 13-16 ppt for N03 radicals

C Results and Discussion

The SAPRC 25 m basepath DOAS system was set up at the Glendora site

in the specific orientation relative to other experiments conducted

during this field study as described in Section III

Essentially continuous DOAS measurements were conducted from August

13 until the morning of August 21 1986 Maximum ozone levels and peak

concentrations of N03 radicals during this study are sUD1Darized in Table

IV-2 Individual concentrations of HONO HCHO and N02 observed during

this period are given in tabular form in Appendix B and hourly average

data for these species are given in Tables IV-3 to IV-5 For the

majority of the time the pathlength was set to 800 m with a detection

limit equivalent to an optical density of 3 x o-14 bull The data reduction

process was more automated than previously and thus the detection limit was raised from 2 x 10-4 to 3 x 10-4 OD to offset the tendency of the

software to interpret noise at the detection limit as a peak The

corresponding detection limits were N02 35 ppb HOHO 08 ppb and

HCHO 45 ppb

Because the HONO and HCHO bands are overlapped by N02 bands and N02 is more abundant in the Los Angeles basin the DOAS spectra must be first

analyzed for N02 to enable its features to be quantitatively removed prior

to determining HONO and HCHO concentrations Figure IV-2 shows the timeshy

concentration profile for N02 from 0000 PDT on August 13 to 0800 PDT on

August 21 The solid line shows the DOAS data while the dashed line

shows measurements made by our chemiluminescence oxides of nitrogen

analyzer The two curves track each other very well during the nighttime

and early morning hours In the afternoon the NOx analyzer consistently

read 10 to 30 ppb higher since the DOAS values at those times were as low

as 15-25 ppb this caused a discrepancy of a factor of two or more The

higher values measured by the chemiluminescence method are attributed to

the known interferences of HN03 and PAN in this detection method

consistent with the levels or HN03 and PAN in the afternoon periods being

approximately equivalent to this difference in the DOAS N02 and chemilshy

After the quantitative removal of the N02 features from the OOAS

spectra the data reduction procedure utilized a simultaneous leastshy

squares fit or HON0 and HCHO reference spectra to the residual ambient air

spectra Figure IV-3 shows the time concentration profile for HCHO as

determined by DOAS (solid line) For comparison the FT-IR data from

Section V are shown as the dashed line The agreement between the two

methods is very good with the discrepancies being within the error

limits However it appears that the OOAS results for the first four

nights are consistently higher than the FT-IR data by about 1-3 ppb This

could be due to an overestimation of HCH0 absorption features in the OOAS

spectra since the reported FT-IR HCH0 levels were at or below the DOAS

detection limit of 45 ppb (where the signal-to-noise ratio was near

unity)

Finally the H0N0 time-concentration profile for August 13-21 is

presented in Figure IV-4 No comparison data are available for HON0 for

this study However as discussed above the only source of a large

systematic error would be the literature value for the HON0 absorption

cross-sections used in the calculations During the Citrus College field

study nighttime HON0 levels were higher than observed in the 1985

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study at Claremont where the maximum

HON0 concentrations were in the range 15 to 25 ppb For five of the

nights at Citrus College the HON0 concentrations were also in the same

range However for three nights H0N0 levels attained -35 ppb and

during the last night of the study H0N0 reached a maximum of Jamp5 ppb

There was however no correlation of the HON0 concentrations to the

nighttime N02 levels which were relatively constant at 60-75 ppb Since

the heterogeneous formation of H0N0 from N02 involves moisture correlashy

tions to other parameters such as relative humidity and particulate

loading may prove interesting

V LONG PATHLENGTH FT-IR MEASUREMENTS OF HN03 NH3 AND HCHO

A Introduction

As discussed elsewhere in more detail (Winer et al 1987) the long

pathlength FT-IR system was employed to provide benchmark data for the

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study held at Pomona College

(Claremont) in September 1985 Following this the FT-IR spectrometer

participated in our winter field study at El Camino CoDJDUnity College

(Torrance) Due to a need for a more detailed comparison of HN03 measurements by the FT-IR and tunable diode laser spectroscopic (TDLS)

methods than had been possible during the 1985 Claremont study the

longpath FT-IR system was subsequently set up in Glendora on the Citrus

College campus for more intensive measurements of HN03 and NH3 between

August 12-21 1986 In this study species coverage by the FT-IR method

was extended to include the measurement of formaldehyde (HCH0) Attempts

were also made to detect N2o5 in ambient air by thorough examination of

the spectra recorded in the late afternoon and evening hours Alllllonia

(NH3) was included among middot the species measured since in certain

localities it can profoundly affect the concentration of gaseous HN03 by

its reaction to form aerosol anmonium nitrate (Doyle et al 1979 Tuazon

et al 1980)

B Experimental

1 Kilometer Pathlength FT-IR System

Measurements of ambient air pollutants by infrared spectroscopy

were carried out using a recently constructed 25-m basepath open

multiple-reflection optical system interfaced to a Mattson Instruments

Inc Sirius 100 FT-IR spectrometer This spectr0111eter has a maximum

resolution capability of 0125 cm-1 and is equipped with a Motorola 68000-

based data system The long pathlength optics are of the three-mirror

White design (White 1942) with provisions for adding a corner reflector

at the in-focus end (Horn and Pimentel 1971) when desired to effectively

double the systems pathlength The mirrors in this new optical system

were fabricated from 30 cm diameter 6 cm thick Pyrex blanks and goldshy

coated for the best reflectivity (~99J) in the infrared The optimum

pathlength for monitoring was determined to be in the 1-1 5 km range

V-1

during routine operation although short-term use or optical patha greater

than 2 km were possible

As discussed in Section Ill the long pathlengtb FT-IR spectrometer

was operated alongside the long pathlength DOAS systell as shown in Figure

V-1 The optical layout of the FT-IR system is preaented in more detail

in Figure V-2 The sets or mirrors of the two spectrometers were arrayed

in opposite directions but aligned side by side in a compact arrangement

which made possible simultaneous analyses of virtually the same air

mass The FT-IR spectrometer was housed in an air conditioned shed while

the multiple reflection mirror assembly outside was shaded from direct

sunlight by protective shields While the spectrometer system had an

initial height of 1 2 m (above ground level) designed into the optical

axis this was raised to a total of 24 m (8 ft) the C0111110n sampling

height required for all analytical techniques being compared during this

field study Massive concrete blocks were employed as support structures

to attain this sampling height

2 Acquisition of Spectra

Spectra were recorded at a pathlength of 1150 meters and 0125 1cm- resolution unapodized) Sixty-four scans interferograms) were

added during a 45-min period and then transformed (calculation time of

-25 min) to a single beam spectrum Each spectrUII of 128 K points was 1truncated and the spectral region from 400 to 3000 cm- which contained

the absorption bands of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 used for analysis was retained

and archived

Four to five spectra per hour were collected This rate or data

collection permitted a real-time examination of the quality of spectra

being recorded and such checks were consistently made during daytime and

early evening hours 0800-2200 PDT) During the noncritical period of

2200-0600 hours when nitric acid was expected to be below the detection

limit the FT-IR spectrometer was programed to conduct automatic

monitoring

expanded plot or the HN03 spectrum in the range 870-910 cm- 1 is presented

in Figure V-11 to which is added a middotqualitative single beam spectrum or 1clean ambient air at a pathlength of 1150 m The Q-branch at 896 1 cm-

was the most appropriate one for quantitative measureaent because or its

favorable half-width and minimal interference by ataaspheric water vapor

We restricted our measurements to the heights of the sharp absorption (Qshy

branch) features only since measurements which include the broad undershy

lying envelope were more susceptible to unknown interferences The 8854 1cm- Q-branch was totally free of interferences but its relatively

narrower line shape was more susceptible to distortion by noise while the 1strongest Q-branch at 8789 cm- was severely overlapped by a strong water

line

Of the numerous sharp features of the NH3 spectna depicted in Figure

V-3 the lines at 11034 and 8679 cm-1 though not the strongest suffer

the least interference by H2o and CO2 absorption lines and were therefore

the ones chosen for analysis The line positions of NH3 relative to those

of atmospheric H20 (and CO2) in the 1080-1120 cm-1 region are shown in

Figure V-5 The calibration procedure for trn3 was straightforward

Spectra were recorded at O 125 cm- 1 resolution for several NH3 pressures

in the range 02-1 torr which were measured to within 10005 torr

accuracy with an MKS Baratron capacitance manometer The NH3 samples were

transferred to a 25-cm cell with KBr windows and pressurized with N2 gas

to atmospheric pressure No measurable decay of IH3 concentration was

observed within the 15-minute period during which repeat spectra were

recorded for each sample These data yielded absorptivities (base 10) at

23degC and 740 torr total pressure of 182 cm-1 atm-1 for the 11034 cm-1

peak and 97 cm-1 atm- 1 for the 8679 cm- 1 peak with uncertainties of t5J

(two standard deviations for both values

A similar calibration procedure was not possible for HN03 because of

its significant decay to the walls of the 25-cm cell We determined our

high resolution absorptivity values relative to the data of Graham and

Johnston (1978) who made an accurate determination of the absorptivity of

the HN03 4 ( 1325 cm- 1 fundamental band at -2 cm-1 resolution using two

independent methods for generating HN03 ( for more details see also Graham

1975) We assigned Graham and Johnstons ( 1978 absorptivity value

feature in our 0125 cm- 1 resolution spectrum after S1100thing the latter

to -2 cm-1 resolution The absorptivity tor a Q-branch (eg 8961 cm- 1)

at O 125 cm-1 resolution was then determined from the intensity ratio of

the unsmoothed Q-branch to the smoothed P-branch

Smoothing removes the fine structure superimposed on the bandv4 envelope and in order to test the adequacy of tbe smoothing function

1employed measurements were carried out in which 2 cm-1 and 0125 cm-

resolution spectra were recorded alternately for an 11103 sample To take

into account the HN03 decay in the cell the 1315 cm-1 peak heights at 2

cm- 1 resolution were plotted against time as were those or the 0125 cm- 1

resolution spectra after having been smoothed to -2 m-1 resolution The

two curves were found to be indistinguishable indicating the accuracy or

the smoothing function applied The above procedure yielded a value of

52 plusmn 04 cm- 1 atm-1 for the absorptivity (base 10) of the HN03 peak at

896 1 cm- 1 (Q-branch height only) with the two standard deviation error

including that reported by Graham (1975) This value is in fact the same

as that we previously determined for this peak at 05 cm-1 resolution

(Tuazon et al 1980) Following the same method the absorptivity of the

8854 cm-1 Q-branch was found to be 61 plusmn 05 cm-1 ata- 1bull

The calibration procedure for HCHO was the sue as that for NH bull3Formaldehyde samples were pre-distilled from paraformaldehyde and

immediately used after collection in a liquid nitrogen cooled trap The

absorptivity value of the 2781 0 cm- 1 Q-branch an absorption peak well

isolated from H2o absorptions was determined to be 89 plusmn 05 cm- 1 atm-1

4 Treatment of Data

The quantitative analysis of species such as NH3 which possess

relatively narrow Q-branch features which are sufficiently resolved from

atmospheric H2o absorptions was normally straightforward The absorbance

(log 10 1 was derived directly from the single beaa spectrum and thus a

ratio plot against an actual background spectrum was not necessary Proshy

vided that the detector had a linear response 10

and I as determined from

a single beam spectrum had values on an arbitrary scale in which zero

corresponded to zero signal on the detector The appropriate differential

absorption coefficient such as those determined above and the absorption

pathlength had to be applied to the absorption intensity measured between

V-9

and I in order to convert to concentration units This procedure was10

followed for the 11034 and 8679 cm-1 lines of NH3 Estimates of the HN03 concentration could also be obtained from

single-beam spectra by employing the 8854 cmmiddot1 Q-branch However the

HN03 analysis was more reliably carried out using the 8961 cm-1 Q-branch

by ratioing the sample spectrum with a clean background spectrum a

procedure which improved the baseline and resulted in essentially complete

cancellation of a very weak H20 interference Background spectra were

chosen from those recorded at around midnight during low pollution days

since previous measurements (Spicer et al 1982) showed HN03 levels that

were much lower (lt1 ppb) than the FT-IR detection limit under these

conditions

The peak-to-peak noise level in the ratio spectrum was typically

00025 absorbance unit base 10) corresponding to a 250 1 signal to

peak-to-peak noise ratio for single spectral records The absorption

peaks used for the analyses were much wider than the frequency of random

noise such that peak heights as small as the noise level could be

detected above the noise itself Thus the detection sensitivities were

3-5 ppb for HN03 1-2 ppb for NH3 and 2-3 ppb for HCHO The lower

detection limit for each compound was realized when turbulence due to

temperature gradients andor wind were minimal for example during

nighttime hours)

The possible detection of N2o5 depended on how well its broad band

centered at 1246 cm- 1 ( 12) could be discerned from interfering H20

absorptions The H2o interferences were reduced by ratioing the sample

spectra against selected background spectra taken during those periods

(mid-morning to noon) when N2o5 was believed not to be present due to the

rapid photolysis of No3 radicals Although exact cancellation of the H2o absorptions was not possible the windows between these absorptions were

sufficient to define a baseline from which the presence of a broad absorpshy

tion contour could be distinguished From the literature value of 188

cm- 1 atmmiddot 1 for the absorptivity of the 1246 cm-1 peak (Graham 1975 Graham

and Johnston 1978) it was calculated that 5 ppb N2o5 at a pathlength of

1150 m would give a signal of -001 absorbance unit (base 10) approxishy

mately 4 times the peak-to-peak baseline noise of the ratio spectrum

V-10

The largest source of uncertainty in the analyses was the noise level

in the spectrum with other errors being generally negligible We

assigned to each peak height measurement the maxillum error which was

equal to the peak-to-peak noise level For HN03 this error was 4 ppb

The uncertainty arising from the error in the absorptivity (of the 8961

cm- 1 Q-branch in this case) increased with the concentration However

this contribution to the overall error limit was relatively small for the

range of HN03 concentrations encountered For example it increased the

t4 ppb error by only 10j when included in the error calculation for an

HN03 concentration of 25 ppb For NH concentrations i20 ppb the sum of uncertainties due to noise3

and error in the absorptivity of the 11034 cm-1 line was plusmn15 ppb At

higher concentrations the contribution from the absorptivity error became

relatively more important A detailed plot of this error contribution as

a function of concentration revealed that it is nearly linear in the

concentration range 20 to 100 ppb permitting the additional error to be

calculated from the empirical formula (0044( [NH3]-20) ppb Thus for the measurement of 60 ppb NH3 the total error can be calculated as [ 15 +

0 044 )( 60-20)] = plusmn33 ppb

For the range of HCH0 concentrations encountered in the 1986 Glendora

study the measurement errors were less than plusmn3 ppb

C Results and Discussion

As discussed in Section II our measurements were conducted in

conjunction with the CARB-sponsored Carbonaceous Species Methods

Comparison Study which occurred from 0800 PDT August 12 to 0800 PDT

August 21 1986 ln contrast with the low level of air pollution during

the 1985 Claremont summer field study this August 1986 measurement period

at Citrus College was characterized by moderately high levels of photoshy

chemical activity Except for the second day of measurements the maximum

hourly average o3 concentrations exceeded 200 ppb each day

The FT-IR spectra obtained were analyzed for the simultaneous concenshy

trations of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 The detailed instantaneous data are

presented in Table V-1 and are plotted in Figure V-6 The hourly average concentrations are presented in Tables V-2 to V-4 Except for periods of

power disruption on August 14 and the loss of most of the daytime data on

August 17 due to a fault in archiving the data onto agnetic tapes the

FT-IR system provided continuous coverage of HCHO and 1H3 concentrations

since they were always above the respective detection 11llits of -2-3 ppb

and -1-15 ppb HN~ was generally above the -3-Ji ppb detection

sensitivity between 0800 hr and 2000 hr each day throughout the study

period As for the 1985 Claremont and the 1986 Torrance studies N2o5 was

not observed above the estimated detection limit of 4 ppb

The FT-IR analysis of formaldehyde was easily carried out with the

use of single-beam spectra since the HCHO infrared spectrum has a Qshy

branch at 27810 cm-1 well isolated from other atmospheric absorptions

HCHO was included as one of the species to be measured by FT-IR (except

during the first day) because of the need for a standard against which

other HCHO methods employed at this study could be compared Our

contribution to this aspect of the carbonaceous species study was to

provide HCHO measurements by both DOAS and FT-IR spectroscopy either

method of which can serve as a benchmark standard l comparison or the

two sets of spectroscopic data for HCHO has been discussed in Section IV

and comparison with the results of the other HCHO methods is currently

being carried out by Dr Douglas Lawson of the CARB

The NH3 concentrations observed in Glendora (Table V-2) during the

first six days or the field study (September 12-17 were generally in the

range of 2-4 ppb These levels are similar to those aeasured during the

1985 Claremont study for the periods when there was no localized transport

of NH3 to the latter site from nearby agricultural sources NH3 levels

during the remaining days (August 18-21 were more variable and generally

about twice the above range of values (Figure V-6 he erratic pattern

found in the NH3 concentrations during these three days which is also

noticeable in the more well-defined HCHO and HN03 concentration profiles

(Figure V-6 could well be due to the prevailing wind conditions

The maximum instantaneous concentrations of HN~ attained 20 ppb or

higher during the eight days that the FT-IR measurements provided detailed

HN03 profiles (Figure V-6) with the highest concentration of 33 ppb being

observed on August 19 Comparison of our Dasibi ozone data with the FT-IR

measurements of HN03 showed a strong correspondence between the HN03 and

maxima This is illustrated in Figure V-7 for the pollution episodeso3 of August 15-16 where the hourly average HN03 concentrations (by FT-IR)

VI AMBIENT CONCENTRATIONS OF PAH AND NITRO-PAH

A Introduction

The PAH emitted from combustion sources exhibit a wide range of

volatility and are hence distributed in the atmosphere between the gas

and particle phases As we have shown previously (Arey et al 1987)

complementary sampling techniques are required to obtain a comprehensive

data set concerning the concentrations of volatile and non-volatile PAH

and their derivatives in the atmosphere Thus the volatile 2-ring PAH such as naphthalene which are present almost entirely in the gas-phase

can be quantitatively collected on Tenax GC solid adsorbent The nonshy

volatile 5-ring and larger PAH and 3- to 4-ring nitro-PAH are particle

associated and are collected totally on the Hi-vol filters The 3- and 4-

ring PAH of intermediate volatility and the 2-ring nitro-PAH can be

collected on PUF plugs as well as on the filters indicating that they are

either present mainly in the gas-phase or are blown-off the filter

during the collection period Thus three different collection media were

employed for the ambient air sampling at Citrus College Tenax-GC solid

adsorbent PUF plugs and Hi-vol filters The ambient air samples were

collected from August 12 to August 21 with 12-hr day (0800-2000 PDT) and

night (2000-0800 PDT) sampling intervals

B Experimental

1 Sampling Media Cleaning Procedure

Tenax-GC solid adsorbent was Soxhlet extracted in a cellulose

thimble for -5 hr in a 64 (vv) acetonehexane mixture After packing in

Pyrex tubes (using precleaned glass wool) the Tenax cartridges were

conditioned for -4 hr by heating at 275degC with nitrogen flowing through

them at -20 mL min- 1 The Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters

and PUF plugs were cleaned by Soxhlet extraction for -16 hr in methylene

chloride followed by another 16 hr extraction with methanol

2 Tenax-GC Cartridges Sampling and Analysis

Two sizes of Tenax-GC cartridge were used for the collection of

gas-phase PAH at different flow rates Low-flow cartridges consisted of

10 cm x 4 nnn id Pyrex tubes packed with 0 1 g of Tenax GC solid

adsorbent with sampling flow rates of -1 L min-1 yielding an -06 m3

VI-1

volume of air for each 12-hr sampling period High-flow cartridges

consisted of 10 cm x 1 cm id Pyrex tubes packed with 06 g of Tenax-GC

and operated at flow rates of -10 L min-1 resulting in -6 m3 of air

sampled during a 12-hr period Each low-flow cartridge was equipped with

back-up Tenax cartridge placed in series downstream from the first

cartridge to check for breakthrough

After sampling the Tenax cartridges were stored in dry-ice transshy

ported to SAPRC and stored in a freezer prior to analysis

For analysis deuterated internal standards were added to the lowshy

and high-flow Tenax cartridges respectively as follows in microg)

naphthalene-d5 (18 16) biphenyl-d10 (07 10) phenanthrene-d 10 (06

06) The low- and high-flow cartridges were eluted with 2 mL and 10 mL respectively of diethyl ether which was then solvent exchanged to -02

mL of acetonitrile (using a micro-Snyder apparatus for the high-flow

cartridges)

PAH identifications and quantifications were made by combined gas

chromatographymass spectrometry (GCMS) with multiple ion detection

(MID) as described in detail below

3 High-Volume Filters Followed by PUF Plugs Sampling and Analysis

Two high-volume sampler systems consisting of a TIGF filter

follow by four PUF plugs (-9 cm diameter x 5 cm thickness) [see Figure VI-

1] were run at -23 SCFM for 12 hr intervals yielding ambient samples

collected from -1000 m3 of air

Prior to analysis the PUF plugs were combined into six samples

consisting of a single day sample and a single nighttime sample from the

early portion of the study single day and single night samples from the

latter part of the study and composite samples from four day and four

nights Specifically the samples were (11) August 13 0800-2000 hr

(2) August 13-14 2000-0800 hr (3) August 15 16 17 and 18 0800-2000

hr (4) August 15-16 16-17 17-18 18-19 2000-0800 hr (5 August 20

0800-2000 hr (6 August 20-21 2000-0800 hr

The samples from a single 12-hr day or night collection period (ie

samples 1 2 5 and 6) each consisted of eight PUF plugs (four from each

of the two Hi-vols used and these were combined and extracted together

The composite samples 3 and 4 were each analyzed in two parts ~UF

plugs 1-3 (see Figure VI-1) and to check for breakthrough of the more

Soxhlet extracted overnight (-16 hr) with methylene chloride concentrated

by rotary evaporation under vacuum to -4 mL filtered through 045 microm

Acrodiscs (Gelman Sci) and concentrated further under a stream of

nitrogen to -500 microL

The extracts were fractionated by HPLC using an Altex semi-prepashy

rative scale Ultrasphere Silica column (1 cm x 25 cm) Figure VI-2 shows

a typical HPLC profile of a PUF plug extract together with the mobile

phase program employed A fraction containing the PAH was collected from

4 min to 22 min and a nitroarene-containing fraction from 22 min to 34

min The fractions were concentrated by rotary evaporation then taken

just to dryness under a stream of nitrogen After dissolving in acetoshy

nitrile or CH2c12 the PAH and nitroarene fractions were analyzed by

GCMS-MID as described below

4 Hi-Vols with TIGF Filters Sampling and Analysis

Seven Hi-vol samplers each equipped with a 10 microm cut-off inlet

were employed for POM collection The samplers were run at -40 SCFM

yielding an ambient sample collected from -800 m3 of air for each Hi-vol

over a 12-hr sampling period Two Hi-vols were employed solely for the

collection of POM used for mutagenicity testing The TIGF filters from

the remaining five Hi-vols were combined into six samples corresponding to

the PUF plug samples described above ie samples 1 and 2 and samples

5 and 6 comprised the single day and night samples from August 13-14 and

August 20-21 respectively and samples 3 and 4 were the composite day

and night samples from August 15-16 16-17 17-18 and 18-19 The filter

extraction and work-up procedure was as shown in Scheme VI-1 Each sample

was spiked with deuterated internal standards as follows (single 12-hr

5 GCMS Analyses

Compound identifications and quantifications were made using

either a Finnigan 3200 quadrupole GCMS interfaced to a Teknivent data

system or a Hewlett Packard 5890 GC interfaced to a Hewlett Packard 5970

mass selective detector MSD) both operated in the electron impact mode

(70 eV) The GC separations were done either on a 60 m DB-5 fused silica

capillary column with a cool on-column injection system (J ampWScientific

Inc) or on a 30 m DB-5 fused silica capillary column with splitless

injection Both columns eluted directly into the MS ion source

Calibration curves for the GCMS-MID quantification of the PAH were

made for the molecular ion peaks of the PAH using the corresponding

deuterated species (or the deuterated species most closely matched in

volatility and retention characteristics) as an internal standard The

C Results

1 Volatile PAH Sampled on Tenax-GC Cartridges

The most abundant PAH collected on the Tenaz-GC cartridges were

naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene GC~ analysis of Tenax

samples in the full scanning mode (rather than the MID mode used for

quantification) showed that not unexpectedly several alkylbenzenes were

also very abundant Table VI-1 sUJ11Darizes the ambient concentrations (ng

m-3) of the volatile PAH measured For reasons which will be detailed

below the naphthalene data from the low-flow cartridges have been

utilized while the data for the remaining PAH have been taken from the

values obtained from the high-flow cartridges

In Appendix B Table B-1 the microg quantities of each PAH measured on

the low-flow Tenax cartridges (for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications)

and the calculated total volumes for each sample are listed Replicate

injections gave reproducible values for naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylshy

naphthalene while the levels of biphenyl fluorene and phenanthrene were

too low for accurate quantification Also listed in Table B-1 are the

quantities of PAH observed on the back-up Tenax cartridges which were

also generally too low for accurate quantification Table B-2 lists the

microg quantities measured and volumes sampled for the high-flow cartridges

Since the volumes of air sampled on the high-flow cartridges was a factor

of 10 greater than the low-flow cartridges biphenyl fluorene and phenshy

anthrene could be accurately determined and in addition acenaphthylene

and acenaphthene were measured

Only traces of naphthalene were observed on the Tenax cartridges

which were back-up cartridges for the low-flow Tenax ie less than a

few percent of that measured on the primary cartridge Therefore

naphthalene was collected quantitatively on the low-flow Tenax Table VI-

2 compares the ambient naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene concenshy

trations calculated from the low-flow and high-flow Tenax cartridges The

high-flow values for naphthalene were consistently lower than those

obtained from the low-flow Tenax samples indicating that naphthalene was

not collected quantitatively at a collection rate of 10 L min- 1 at the

ambient temperatures encountered at Citrus College Hence the low-flow

Tenax values for naphthalene are given in Table VI-1

( There is good agreement between the nighttime concentrations of the

1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes calculated from the low- and high-flow Tenax

samples For the daytime samples when the observed concentrations were

generally low the high-flow values tended to be somewhat higher than the

low-flow values and were judged to be more accurate It should be noted

that the low-flow values for 1-methylnaphthalene have been corrected for a

significant interference which was observed on the back-up Tenax

2 PAH Sampled on PUF Plugs

GCMS analysis of the HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts in

which the PAH elute (see Figure VI-2) showed this fraction to contain many

less abundant alkyl-PAH and dibenzothiophene as well as fluorene phenshy

anthrene anthracene fluoranthene and pyrene It must be remembered that

these PAH will be distributed between the gaseous and particle phases in

ambient air and that the quantities measured on the PUF plugs are the sum

of the PAH in the gas phase and the PAH initially present on the POM but

blown-off during the collection period

The ambient concentrations of five PAH and the sulfur heterocycle

dibenzothiophene measured on the PUF plugs are given in Table vI3 The

most abundant PAH collected on the PUF plugs was fluorene From the

composite samples in which the fourth PUF plugs were analyzed separately

it was obvious that fluorene (mw 166) and PAH of higher volatility were

not collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs since substantial amounts

were present on the fourth PUF (see Table VI-3) Consistent with fluorene

not being collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs the ambient concenshy

trations of fluorene listed in Table VI-1 from the Tenax cartridge quanshy

tifications are -2-5 fold higher than those listed in Table VI-3 The

ambient concentrations of phenanthrene measured on the PUF plugs and Tenax

cartridges agree to within better than a factor of two

Figure VI-4 shows the GCMS-MID traces of naphthalene and alkylshy

naphthalenes for the Tenax and PUF samples from the evening of 813-1486

From the Tenax sample trace it is clear that naphthalene was the most

abundant species (at a measured concentration of -5000 ng m-3)

Comparing the Tenax and PUF sample traces it is apparent that naphthalene

was retained on the PUF plugs only to a minor extent (with a measured

concentration of -2 ng m-3 Interestingly although not quantitatively

collected on the PUF plugs the presence of dimethylnaphthalenes in

ambient air is apparent from the PUF samples

3 Diurnal Variations in the Volatile PAH

The ambient concentrations of naphthalene measured for 12-hr day

and night sampling intervals throughout the Citrus College study are shown

in Figure VI-5 It can be seen from these data that the naphthalene conshy

centrations were generally higher during the evening sampling intervals

and that there was a trend toward higher concentrations in the latter part

of the study

The daytime and nighttime concentrations of _ and 2-methylnaphthashy

lene are shown in Figure VI-6 As observed for naphthalene the nighttime

concentrations were generally higher The concentration of 2-methylshy

naphthalene was consistently higher than that of 1-methylnaphthalene The

concentration profiles of the methylnaphthalenes were remarkably similar

perhaps indicating a common source and similar atmospheric loss processes

Reaction with the hydroxyl radical is expected to be the major loss

process for both species with essentially identical atmospheric lifetimes

for 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987a)

All of the volatile PAH were generally more abundant during the

nighttime than daytime sampling intervals (see Table VI-1 and VI-3

Meteorological factors such as inversion heights may certainly have played

a role in this observed trend at Citrus College bu it can be seen that

these diurnal variations are not solely due to meteorology by comparing

the diurnal profiles of species of differing reactiviy For example the

GCMS-MID traces for the molecular ion of biphenyl a11d acenaphthene (mz

154 for a typical daytime and nighttime Tenax sample are shown in Figure

VI-7 As seen from this figure acenaphthene [the ioore reactive of these

PAH (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b] was generally significantly more

abundant in the nighttime samples presumably beig removed by rapid

reaction with the OH radical during daylight hours

GCMS-MID traces of daytime and nighttime PUF samples showing the

analyses of isomeric PAH of differing reactivity are shown in Figures VI-8

and VI-9 While phenanthrene was abundant on both ~~e day and nighttime

PUF plug samples the relative abundance of anthracen~ to phenanthrene was

consistently higher at night Figure VI-8) Similarly acephenanthrylene

an isomer of fluoranthene and pyrene expected to be more reactive than

these PAH towards ozone (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) was generally not

observed in the daytime PUF samples from Citrus College (Figure VI-9)

4 Nitroarenes Sampled on PUF Plugs

The HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts eluting from 22 to 34

min (Figure VI-2) contained the volatile nitroarene species The most

abundant nitroarenes were 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene GCMS analysis in

the full scanning mode showed that this nitroarene-containing HPLC

fraction also contained alkylnitrophenols

Figure Vl-10 shows GCMS-MID traces from a typical analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug extract for 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene (NN) As

seen from this figure identification was based on the presence of several

characteristic fragment ions as well as retention time matching with the

1-nitronaphthalene-d7 internal standard Figure VI-11 shows the presence

of several peaks at mz 187 which elute after 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene

These peaks were identified as methylnitronaphthalenes ( 14 isomers are

possible on the basis of the presence of characteristic [M-N02]+ and [Mshy

HN02J+ fragment ions as well as the mz 187 molecular ion

GCMS-MID traces of a standard mixture of the three nitrobiphenyl

isomers and two isomers of nitroacenaphthene are shown in Figure VI-12

5-Nitroacenaphthene has previously been reported in ambient air (Tokiwa et

al 1981) At Torrance CA during a wintertime high-NOx episode we did

not observe nitroacenaphthene but measured high concentrations of the

isomeric species 3-nitrobiphenyl (Arey et al 1987) In Figure Vl-13 the

[Mr ions of the standard mixture are shown together with the [M)+ ions

and characteristic fragment ion traces obtained from the analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug sample As at Torrance CA the nitroarene isomer

of mw 199 observed at Citrus College was clearly 3-nitrobiphenyl

Table Vl-4 gives the microg quantities of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and

3-nitrobiphenyl collected on the PUF plugs at Citrus College From the

fourth PUF plugs of the composite samples it can be seen that 3-

nitrobiphenyl was quantitatively collected on the first three PUF plugs

Particularly during the daytime samples some breakthrough of 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene occurred In addition to these nitroarene species

traces of 9-nitroanthracene were observed in most of the Citrus College

PUF plug samples but the levels present were too low to quantify

5 PAH Sampled on TIGF Filters

As described in Section B above the extracts of the TIGF filters

were fractionated by HPLC HPLC fractions 2-5 (see Figure VI-3) were

collected as the PAH fraction with fractions 6-7 being chosen to include

the n i troarenes Through the use of deuterated internal standards it

became apparent that the higher molecular weight PAH such as dibenz(ah)shy

anthracene were eluting in HPLC fractions 6-7 The data reported here

for the PAH on filters will be for the lower molecular weight species

ie fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and

benzo(a)pyrene Fractions 6-7 will be analyzed for the higher molecular

weight PAH and the full range of data for PAH on particles will be given

in our final report for our on-going CARB project (Contract No A5-185-

32) A survey of ambient concentrations of selected polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons (PAH) at various locations in California

Table VI-6 lists values for fluoranthane pyrene benz(a)anthracene

chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene in the NBS SRM 1649 an air

particulate sample collected in Washington DC The values recently

reported by the NBS (Wise et al 1986) for analyses by GC and HPLC with

fluorescence detection along with our values determined by GCMS-MID are

given The extraction and clean-up procedures we used for the SRM

particles were as described in Section B for the Citrus College POM sample

analyses As can be seen from Table VI-6 the agreement between our

values and those reported by NBS is generally excellent

The microg quantities of the five PAH measured in the Citrus College POM

samples for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications are given in Appendix B

Table B-3 The concentrations of these five PAH in ng m-3 (averaging the

replicate values) are given in Table VI-7 Two additional samples 7 and

8 repeat day and night composites are also listed in Tables B-3 and

VI-7 It was found that in taking the benzenemethanol extracts to a

constant weight a significant fraction of the deuterated internal stanshy

dards fluoranthene-d 10 pyrene-d 10 and even 2-nitrofluoranthene-d9 were

lost The use of internal standards should of course allow for correcshy

tion of such losses Since all of the filters from each day or night

comprising these composites had not been extracted we made replicate

composite samples and extracted these replicates with dichloromethane As

can be seen from Table VI-7 the composites and the repeat composites

VI-28

agree to within better than a factor of two In our current procedure for

POM analyses the benzenemethanol extract is not taken to dryness

6 Nitroarenes Sampled on TlGF Filters

The ambient concentrations of the nitrofluoranthenes and nitroshy

pyrenes measured for the six Citrus College POM samples are given in Table

VI-7 As we have observed previously (Pitts et al 1985c Ramdahl et al

1986 Arey et al 1987) 2-nitrofluoranthene was the most abundant

particle-associated nitroarene The GCMS-MID trace of the molecular ion

for the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (mz 247) from the August 20-

21 1986 2000-0800 PDT sample is shown in Figure VI-14 This sample

VII AMBIENT MUTAGENICITY

A Introduction

For the past several years the mutagenicity of ambient P0M has been

recognized as a characteristic of polluted urban atmospheres Further-

more although airborne particulate matter contains many carcinogenic PAH

its mutagenic activity does not resemble that of the PAH which require

mammalian metabolic activation (S9) as a requisite for expression of their

mutagenicity in the Ames Salmonella test Instead ambient P0M is

directly active ie expressing mutagenicity without the addition of

S9 and thus showing that other classes of organic chemicals which are

direct-acting mutagens are also present in ambient air

As an integral part of the CSMCS carried out at Citrus College

Glendora we measured the mutagenicity of collected 12-hour particulate

samples both with and without mammalian metabolic activation on

Salmonella strain TA98 Additionally we obtained mutagenicity data on

strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6

B Experimental

Sample Preparation for Mutagenicity Testing As noted in Section

II I POM samples were collected on a 12-hr basis throughout the study

period from 0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT The collected particulate

matter from two Hi-vols fitted with 10 microm cut-off inlets was weighed and

the filters Soxhlet extracted for 16-hr using a benzenemethanol (8020

azeotrope The solvent was removed under vacuum and the extracts were

taken to dryness under a stream of dry nitrogen Prior to mutagenicity

testing the sample extracts were stored in the dark at -75degC On the day

of the test each extract was taken up in DMS0 using a 20-minute

sonication and serial dilutions in DMS0 were made from this stock

solution

Tester Strains Ames Salmonella strain TA98 was used because of its

sensitivity to atmospheric particulate mutagens such as the nitroarenes

(Rosenkranz and Mermelstein 1983 and each particulate extract was tested

on this strain both in the presence and the absence of manmalian metabolic ( activation (S9 Each sample was also tested on strains TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6 in the absence of S9 as a possible indication of nitroarene

VII-1

mutagenicity TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 are isolates of TA98 which are

deficient in a nitroreductase Rosenkranz and Speck 1975 McCoy et al

1981 and a transacetylase enzyme (McCoy et al 1983 Orr et al 1985

Saito et al 1985 respectively The deficiency or these enzymes which

are required in the activation of many nitroarenes to penultimate

mutagens renders these strains less sensitive than TA98 to many mutagenic

nitroarenes Thus when a complex mixture exhibits less activity on

TA98NR or TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 it may be an indication of the

contribution of ni troarenes to the mutagenic activity of that sample

Table VII-1 shows the response of TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to

TA98 for several mutagenic atmospheric nitroarenes

The strains were cultured in 40 mL of L-broth for 12 hours at 37degC

with shaking The culture density was estimated by its absorbance at 550

nm and each strain was diluted with fresh medium to an absorbance

previously calculated to yield the standard culture density of 109 colony

forming units per mL (approximately 028 absorbance units) After

dilution the cultures were maintained in an ice bath for the duration of

the test The titer of each culture was determined by dilution and

plating on histidine-supplemented medium E The standard genotypic

markers which were routinely checked were crystal violet sensitivity UV

sensitivity and ampicillin resistance Three standard positive-control

mutagens were tested on each strain 1) 2-nitrofluorene a positive

control mutagen which we have used for the past ten years to check the

response of TA98 was also used to check the reduced response of TA98NR

relative to TA98 2 18-dinitropyrene was used to check the reduced

response of TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 and TA98NR for nitroarenes

which require the Salmonella transacetylase for activation and 3)

quercetin was used to check the equivalent response of these strains to

non-nitroarene mutagens Additionally benzo(apyrene was tested on

TA98(+S9) to check the response of this strain to indirect mutagens

Our testing protocol consistently results in somewhat higher

mutagenicities than other laboratories which we attribute primarily to

the use of L-broth instead of Oxoid broth to culture the tester strains

L-broth has about twice the amount of histidine as does Oxoid and its use

results in larger amounts of histidine on the test plate Because it is

the limiting growth factor a higher amount of histidine results in a

higher number of cells on the test plate and hence a higher number of

revertants (Maron and Ames 1983) The use of L-broth also results in a

somewhat denser background lawn of unreverted Salmonella but colony

morphology and visibility are unaffected

S9 Mix Arochlor 1254-induced rat liver S9 was prepared by Litton

Bionetics Inc according to the method of Ames et al (1975) and containshy

ed 26 mg mL- 1 protein (manufacturers analysis) NADP was purchased from

Boehringer Mannheim and glucose-6-phosphate was purchased from Sigma

Chemical Company

The S9 mix was prepared by the standard protocol (Ames et al 1975

Maron and Ames 1983) with 001 ml S9 per plate c2i vv mix) This S9

concentration was chosen since we have previously found a 2i vv mix to be

optimal in activating ambient particulate extracts collected in southern

California Frequently the use of S9 in testing ambient POM results in a

net decrease in activity as deactivation of direct mutagens overrides the

presumed activation of indirect mutagens such as the PAH Many

nitroarenes are also subject to this S9 suppression of activity

VI-3

Testing Protocol The standard Ames Salmonella plate incorporation

mutagenicity test was performed according to the method of Ames and coshy

workers (Ames et al 1975 Maron and Ames 1983) with some modifications to

improve its accuracy and precision (Belser et al 1981) Because of the

large number of plates required for the complete set of samples the

extracts were assayed in two tests 1) TA98 with and without S9 and 2)

TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 without S9 By dividing the tests by strain the

variation in response within one sample set was minimized Each extract

was tested in triplicate at eight doses chosen to logarithmically span the

region of linear response observed in the past for ambient P0M In

anticipation of lower activities on TA98NR and TA981 8-DNP6 the doses

chosen for these strains were twice as great as those for TA98 Hence

each sample was tested at 3 6 11 21 38 70 135 and 250 microg plate- 1 on

TA98 and at 6 12 22 42 76 140 270 and 500 microg plate-1 on TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6

Each test was performed in a single afternoon by means of a procedure

designed to improve intraday precision Belser et al 1981) Darkroom

conditions were employed throughout to prevent any photodecomposi tion of

the samples which might occur under laboratory fluorescent 1 ights The

plates were incubated at 37degC for 63 hours and counted with a Biotran

automatic colony counter (New Brunswick Scientific) directly interfaced to

a microcomputer ( Apple II) The extract potencies or specific activishy

ties were obtained by 1 inear regression analysis of the dose-response

data in the region of linear response The slope of the dose-response 1curve is the specific activity in revertants microg- The ratios of the

specific activities on strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98

were then calculated

From the specific activities the extract weights and the weights of

the particulate matter collected the potencies of the particulate matter

or mutagen loadings in revertants per mg of particulate matter collected

were calculated Finally from the specific activities the extract

weights and the volumes of sampled air the airborne mutagenicity conshy

centrations or mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of sampled air

were calculated

in Tables VII-2 to VII-5 The concurrent General Motors Laboratories

mutagen density data (J Siak T L Chan and G T Wolff private

connnunication) are included in Table VII-5 for comparison As we have

observed before in southern California the sampled POM was principally

directly active the average direct activity (TA98 -S9 was 345 rev m-3

as compared to 332 rev m-3 with metabolic activation TA98 +S9 Figure

VII-1 shows the mutagen density with and without S9 observed during this

study The values are intermediate in the range of mutagen densities we

have observed before in southern California and followed a general trend

towards higher values at the end of the study Figure VII-2 shows the

TA98 +S9 to TA98 -S9) ratio together with the TA98 (-S9) mutagen

density which are anticorrelated Thus sampling periods with higher

direct mutagenicity tended to be those which exhibited less promutagenshy

icity and greater direct activity This observation is consistent in a

qualitative manner with the presence in ambient POM of nitroarenes

The final nighttime sampling period during this study 820-2186

2000-0800 PDT) was unusual because of the high levels of volatile and nonshy

volatile nitroarenes present in the atmosphere For example the 2-nitroshy

fluoranthene concentration was a factor of ~5 greater than on the previous

day and the 1-nitronaphthalene concentration increased by over a factor of

two Concurrent observations of the presence of the nitrate radical

indicated that chemistry could have been occurring on this nightN2o5 Our measured mutagen density however declined by a factor of two

inconsistent with these other observations Moreover in contrast to our

results researchers at General Motors Laboratories using CH2c12 as an

extraction solvent observed a significant increase in mutagenicity (TA98

-S9) from the daytime 82086 0800-2000 PDT) sample to the nighttime

(820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) sample in their tests Since we had used a

benzene-methanol azeotrope as the extraction solvent system we decided to

retest the POM collected during these final two sampling periods using

dichloromethane as the extraction solvent

For this second mutagenicity test using CH2c12-extraction POM

collected on TGF filters in Hi-vol samplers modified to allow PUF plugs

to be placed downstream from the filters was employed These modified Hishy

vol samplers were operated at a flow rate or 23 SCFM instead of the

conventional 40 SCFM) to ensure that the flow controller remained

operative One filter from the daytime (82086 0800-2000 PDT) and one

filter from the nighttime 820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) collection period

were Soxhlet extracted for 16 hours with CH2c12 and tested on TA98 -S9)

The results or this collection and mutagenicity test are given in

Table VII-6 together with the data for our previous test of the benzene-methanol extracts As can be seen from the TSP data the modified

samplers collected more particulate matter than the standard Hi-vol as

expected since these Hi-vols were not equipped with a size-selective

inlet This was not expected to have greatly affected the mutagenicity

results however because very little mutagenicity is present on particles

larger than -10 micro

The more polar benzene-methanol solvent system extracted much more

material than did CH2c12 bull Despite the larger amount of polar material

present in the benzene-methanol samples the mutagen density for the

nighttime sample is three-fold lower than for the corresponding CH2c12-

extracted sample In contrast the mutagen density for the benzeneshy

methanol daytime sample is somewhat higher than for the corresponding

CH2c12-extracted sample Apparently the polar material in the benzeneshy

methanol extract of the nighttime sample inhibited the mutagenicity of

this extract probably through toxic or bacteriostatic action In

contrast the mutagenici ty of the polar compounds in the daytime sample

overcame any inhibitory effect

These observations illustrate the inherent compromises in choosing a

solvent system for extracting ambient POM The benzene-methanol solvent

system was chosen precisely because it extracts more polar material than

does CH2c12 and does not generate the artifactual mutagenicity associated

with the use of acetonitrile Indeed because inhibitory compounds may be

of the same polarity as mutagens every solvent system must result in an

underestimation of the mutagenicity of ambient POM This underscores the

need for identification and quantification of ambient mutagens Once

identified and tested for mutagenicity in their pure form the known

mutagens in a sample can be quantified and an accurate sum of their

mutagenicities can be obtained

VIII CONCLUSIONS

The objectives of SAPRCs involvement in the ARB-funded CSMCS study

held at Citrus College Glendora CA during the period August 12-21

1986 were met Using long pathlength differential optical absorption and

Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopic techniques the

ambient concentrations of N02 HONO HCHO HN03 NH3 and the N03 radical

were monitored in an essentially continuous mode throughout this study

period Since these data were obtained using absolute in-situ spectroshy

scopic methods they have served as benchmark data for the evaluation of

other more portable measurement methods for the determination of HCHO

and HN03 concentrations during the SCAQS carried out in 1987

Based upon the experimental methods used and ambient air concentshy

ration data obtained in our recent study at El Camino Conmtunity College

Torrance we were able to employ a complementary set of sampling techshy

niques to provide a comprehensive data set concerning the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of both volatile and non-volatile PAH and nitroshy

arenes during this study at Citrus College Ambient atmospheric concenshy

tration data were obtained for the following PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-

methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene

phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)shy

anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene and the following

nitroarenes 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3- and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene The ambient concentrations of

the PAH cover a very large range (gt1000) with the most volatile PAH naphshy

thalene being the most abundant Indeed the naphthalene concentration

exceeded 1 ppb during the 12-hr nighttime period 2000-0800 PDT on August

20-21 and averaged 0 7 ppb (3700 ng m-3) over the entire study period

The next most abundant PAH were the 1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes with 2-

methylnaphthalene being about twice as abundant as 1-methylnaphthalene

The ambient concentrations of the PAH exhibited diurnal variations

with the concentrations generally being higher during the nighttime

sampling periods than during the daytime periods This diurnal variation

can most readily be seen for the volatile PAH which were sampled onto the

high and low flow Tenax cartridges and for which individual 12-hr analyses

were carried out This diurnal variation could in general be due to

VIII-1

differing daynight emission rates meteorology (with lower inversion

heights and hence higher concentrations during the nighttime periods

andor differing atmospheric removal rates due to chemical reactions The

observation (Table VI-1 that the magnitude of the diurnal variation

depended on the specific PAH with the largest variations being for the

most chemically reactive PAH indicates that part of this variation was

due to chemical removal of the PAH during daytime hours

The 2-3 ring PAH monitored using the Tenax cartridge system all react

with the OH radical during daylight hours (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and

Aschmann 1987b) with expected lifetimes due to this OH radical reaction

of approximately 3 days for biphenyl and fluorene and 2-12 hrs for the

other PAH The PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene acenaphthene

acenaphthylene and phenanthrene also react to a lesser extent with N2o5bull

In addition acenaphthene and acenaphthylene also react with N03 radicals

(Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) bull These andor radical removalN2o5 N03 processes were likely to be of minor significance during this study since

the N03 radical (and hence N2o5) concentrations were low In addition

acenaphthylene reacts with Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) with thiso3 removal process again being most important during daytime Interestingly

the ratio (average nighttime concentrationaverage daytime concentration)

correlates well with the OH radical reaction rate constant (which varies

from 7 x 10-12 cm3 molecule- 1 s-1 for biphenyl to 1 1 x 10-10 cm3 moleshy1cule-1 s- for acenaphthylene (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and Aschmann

1987b) as shown by the plot in Figure VIII-1 This good correlation

confirms our expectation that daytime reaction with the OH radical is an

important atmospheric removal process for the PAH present in the gas

phase

The nitroarenes also exhibit a diurnal concentration profile as

shown in Figure VIII-2 which gives our earlier data from Torrance CA

(Winer et al 1987) as well as from Citrus College Again this observed

diurnal variation in the nitroarene concentrations can be due to differing

emission rates differing formation rates from their parent PAH during

transport through the atmosphere meteorology or differing removal rates

during daytime and nighttime periods Our data for the PAH (Figure VIII-1)

show that meteorology at Citrus College had a relatively minor effect of

the order of 20J (estimated from the intercept representing no OH radical

( reaction) on the daynight concentration ratio Further it is expected

(Atkinson et al 1987) that the atmospheric OH radical reactions of the

nitroarenes will be relatively slow Hence since 3-nitrobiphenyl is not

expected to be emitted and the daytimenighttime emission rates of the

nitronaphthalenes are not likely to vary significantly the observed difshy

ferences in the daynight concentration profiles for 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl strongly suggest differing formation rates

In particular our observation that the daytime concentrations of 3-nitroshy

biphenyl are always higher than the nighttime concentration ( in total

contrast to the situation for the PAH) shows that 3-nitrobiphenyl must be

made in the atmosphere during daytime hours Indeed we have shown from

laboratory studies (Atkinson et al 1987) that the daytime OH radical

reaction with biphenyl (the only significant atmospheric chemical removal

process for biphenyl) forms 3-nitrobiphenyl in approximately 5j yield

1- and 2-Nitronaphthalene are also formed from the reaction of OH radicals

with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) but these nitroarenes can also be

formed from the nighttime reaction of naphthalene with N2o5 (Atkinson et

al 1987)

In our previous study in Torrance CA (Winer et al 1987) N03 radicals were not present during nighttime hours and hence the N2o5 forshy

mation route to the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes was not operative and the

daytime concentrations of the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes and 3-nitroshy

biphenyl were higher than during the nighttime as expected from a daytime

formation pathway via OH radical reaction from their parent PAH In

contrast at Citrus College N03 radicals were observed on several

evenings and both daytime and nighttime formation of 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene was hence possible (note that 3-nitrobiphenyl could only be formed

during the daytime) Indeed while the daytime 3-nitrobiphenyl concenshy

trations were higher than the nighttime concentrations the 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene concentrations were as high or higher during the

nights Even more interesting is the observation that during daytime the

1- and 2-nitronaphthalene concentrations were comparable consistent with

the similar formation yields from the daytime OH radical-initiated reacshy

tions with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) During nighttime however

the 1-nitronaphthalene concentrations were significantly higher than the

2-nitronaphthalene concentrations consistent with nighttime formation

from N2o5 reaction with naphthalene for which the 1- and 2-nitronaphthashy

lene yields are 15J and 7J respectively (Atkinson et al 1987

The ambient nitroarene concentrations also vary widely from compound

to compound and as with the PAH the most volatile nitroarenes are again

the most abundant Indeed as shown in Table VIII-1 the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl

(measured at both Torrance (Winer et al 1987) and Citrus College are

comparable to the ambient concentrations of fluoranthene and (not shown)

pyrene and are generally an order of magnitude higher than the concenshy

trations of 2-nitrofluoranthene the most abundant particle-associated

nitroarene

As noted in previous sections of this report the PAH themselves are

not directly mutagenic in the Ames assay without microsomal activation

The ambient atmospheric concentrations of the particle-associated nitroshy

arenes (which are direct-acting mutagens when combined with their

mutagenic activities (Table VII-1) allow the ambient mutagenic densities

resulting from the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (by far the most

abundant particle-associated nitroarenes to be calculated Table Vlll-2

8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene for the six time-periods for

nitropyrenes ranged from approximately 1-9 rev m-3_ 2-Nitrofluoranthene

buted by the nitroarenes of molecular weight 247

These calculated nitrofluoranthene and nitropyrene mutagen densities

account for typically 10J of the measured ambient mutagenicity It is

difficult to cite a definite numerical contribution of the nitrofluorshy

anthenes and nitropyrenes to ambient mutagenicity due to potential

problems in the Ames assay as discussed in Section VII above This 10J

figure for the contribution of the particle-associated nitroarenes to

ambient mutagenicity is consistent with the values given by Arey et al

(1988) and shows that the majority ie typically 90j of the mutagenishy

city of ambient POM is presently unaccounted for Ihis as yet unaccountshy

ed for direct-acting mutagenicity could be associated with other PAH-

VIII-6

( derivatives formed in the atmosphere during transport from source to

receptor or from other classes of organics Further work to attempt to

determine the identity of these other mutagens and their sources (direct

emissions versus atmospheric formation) is clearly necessary

I bull PROJECT SUMMARY

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides of nitrogen precursors are complex and

it is necessary to have measurements of the reactant and product species

in as detailed a manner as possible in order to provide a data base

suitable for input into airshed computer models These organic compounds

may be distributed between the gas and particle phases and hence measureshy

ments of their concentrations in both phases must be carried out In

order to allow for a methods development and methods intercomparison prior

to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California

Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two methods intercomparison studies one

in 1985 at Claremont concerning the measurement of nitrogenous species

and a second at Citrus College GleQdora during August of 1986 dealing

principally with the intercomparison of measurement methods for organic

and carbonaceous species

In the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study (CSMCS) at

Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center

(SAPRC) carried out the measurement of several inorganic and organic

species Specifically the following measurements were made

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS) we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02) nitrous acid (HONO) and

formaldehyde (HCHO

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption specshy

troscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) ammonia (NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

beams being -24 m above the ground surface An extensive data set for

the gas-phase concentrations of N02 HONO HN03 HCHO (by both DOAS and

FT-IR spectroscopy NH3 and the N03 radical was obtained during this

study period The complete data set is tabulated in detail in Sections IV

and the HONO time-concentration profile as monitored by DOAS (Figure I-2)

respectively These two figures and the data presented in Sections IV and

V show that significant concentrations of these pollutants were present

during this sampling period with ambient concentrations of up to

approximately 140 45 30 20 and 15 ppb for N02 BONO HN03 HCHO and

w3 respectively A definitiVe measurement of the presence of No3 radicals was made only on one night during this study (due to the

detection limit for this species) with a peak N03 radical concentration

of 70 ppt being measured on the night of August 13 The presence of N03 radicals at levels lt40 ppt was observed on the evenings of August 13 19

Ambient particulate organic matter (POM) was collected on a 12-hr

daytime and nighttime sampling period (0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT) and

was tested for mutagenicity towards Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98

measured mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of air sampled are given

in Table I-1 These mutagen densities are consistent with those we have

measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin As also observed

previously the mutagen densities and mutagenic activity of the POM

measured in the presence and absence of S9 are essentially indistinguishshy

able with average mutagen densities (strain TA98) of 33 and 35 rev bull-3 with and without S9 respectively

Ambient air was also sampled on filters and solid adsorbents in order

to collect the gas- and particle associated PAH and PAH-derivatives for

combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis Three collection

systems were used to sample ambient air low and high-flow ( 1 and 10 L

seven locations in California at which sampling was to be conducted to

obtain data concerning the ambient levels of mutagenicity and of PAH

(including PAH derivatives such as the nitro-PAH) to which populations

were exposed The Glendora site was chosen as the site impacted by

vehicle emissions The mutagenicity data and the concentrations of the

PAH and PAH-derivatives observed at this site are hence an integral part

of our ongoing study A Survey of Ambient Concentrations of Selected

11 INTRODUCTION

The chemical processes leading to the production of ozone from the

reactive organic gases and oxides or nitrogen precursors are exceedingly

complex and in order to provide a data base suitable for input into

airshed computer models it is necessary to have measurenents of the reacshytant and product species in as detailed a manner as possible Since these

organic compounds may be distributed between the gas anltI particle phases

measurements of both the gas- and particle-phase concentrations of organic

chemicals must be carried out In order to allow for a methods developshy

ment and methods intercomparison prior to the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) the California Air Resources Board (ARB) funded two

methods intercomparison studies one in 1985 at Clarsont concerning the

measurement of nitrogenous species and a second at Citrus College

Glendora during August of 1986 dealing principally with the intercomparishy

son or measurement methods for organic and carbonaceous species

In this Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study at Citrus College Glendora the Statewide Air Pollution Researcplusmn Center (SAPRC) was

involved in the measurement of a number of inorganic and organic species

Specifically we measured the atmospheric concentrations of the following compounds

bull Using long pathlength differential optical absorption spectroscopy

(DOAS we measured nitrogen dioxide (N02 nitrous acid (HONO) and formaldehyde (HCHO)

bull Using long pathlength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy we measured nitric acid HN03) anmonia NH3) and HCHO

bull Ambient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr

nighttime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyllethane foam PUF

plugs and Teflon-impregnated glass fiber TIGF filters and these samples

analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associated polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbOns (PAH) and nitroarenes

Furthermore the measurements of the ambient atmspheric concentrashy

tions of PAH and PAH-derivatives at Citrus College formed one part of a

further ambient measurement study funded by the ARB Contract No AS-185-

32 dealing with the ambient concentrations of PAH ant PAR-derivatives at

11-1

seven sites throughout California impacted by differing combustion

emission sources The Citrus College site served as the vehicle emissionshyimpacted site for this study

The description or the site at Citrus College Glendora and the

experimental procedures and data obtained from these measurement methods are detailed in the following sections

111 DESCRIPTION OF SITE

As noted earlier this monitoring program was conducted in conshy

junction with the ARB-funded carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison

Study As shown in Figure 111-1 the ARB selected a site adjacent to the

football stadium on the campus of Citrus College for this study The

orientation and relationship of the long pathlength n-IR and OOAS systems

to other investigators is shown in Figure 111-2 The SAPRC high-volume

(Hi-vol) samplers were located Just north of the mobile vans and trailers

of other investigators The optical spectrometers were elevated on

concrete blocks to achieve a 24 m (8 ft) height for the optical beams in

order to minimize the influences or dry deposition of nitric acid and

other nitrogenous species This requirement necessitated a major

restructuring or the FT~IR and DOAS instrument supports In order to

augment the 12 m 4 ft height initially designed into the optical axes

or both of the long pathlength mirror assemblies while at the same time

preventing extraneous vibrations the spectrometers mirror systems and

their housings wereset on massive concrete blocks

Six 4 ft x 4 ft x 10 ft concrete structures were rented from the

Pyramid Precast company which provided the necessary machinery to

position the blocks on premarked areas at the study site Three of these

blocks constituted the support platform for the FT-IR and DOAS assemblies

at each end of the optical path (see Figure 111-2) New 9 ft x 12 ft

sheds were procured and constructed on these platforms during the last

week of August and the first week of September Subsequent assembly and

testing of the spectrometers and optical systems was completed in time for

the scheduled start of the field study on September 11 1985

As shown in Figure 111-2 the two SAPRC 25 m basepath optical systems

were set up parallel to each other and to the scaffolding which supported

most of the samplers from other groups participating in the intercomparishy

son study The optical systems were aligned in a north-south orientation

to minimize scattered light problems at sunrise and sunset and positioned

due west of the scaffolding and various mobile vans and trailers f The study period began at 0800 PDT on Tuesday August 12 and conshy

tinued until 0800 PDT on August 21 The FT-IR and DOAS systems operated

essentially continuously during this period with FT-IR spectra being

IV MEASUREMENTS OF HONO H()2 NO~ RADICALS AND HCHO BY DIFFERENTIAL OPTICAL ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

A Introduction

The development of a long pathlength OOAS system by Perner and Platt

1979) and its application and extension by these workers and by SAPRC

researchers Platt et al 1980ab 1981 1982 1984 Harris et al 1982

Pitts et al 1984ab 1985a) has provided a technique capable of sensishy

tive specific and time-resolved measurements of the ambient concentrashy

tions of a number of important atmospheric species including nitrous

acid formaldehyde the nitrate radical and nitrogen dioxide

In this section we briefly describe the design and operation of the

25 m basepath DOAS system employed to measure ambient levels of N03 radicals HONO N02 and HCHO during the Carbonaceous Species Methods Comparison Study and the results obtained during this measurement

period A more detailed description of the experimental system is provided in an earlier report to the ARB (Winer et al 1987)

B Experimental Methods

The 25 m basepath optical system (Figure IV-1) was of the threeshy

mirror White design but with an added corner reflector at the in-focus

end which effectively doubled its maximum pathlength capability The

mirrors were fabricated from 30 cm dia x 5 cm thick Pyrex blanks and

coated with a custom dielectric coating for optimum reflectivity in the spectral regions of interest

The DOAS system measures the ambient concentrations of trace

components which have distinct vibronic structures by their light

absorption in the near-ultraviolet (uv) and visible spectral regions

White light from a 75 W high pressure Xenon lamp was imaged by a spherical

mirror into the plane of the nesting (in-focus) mirror of the White cell

and then propagated through the multiple reflection optics until it

emerged from the system and was imaged onto the entrance slit of the

monochromator SPEX 1870 05 m) The light intensity was monitored by a

photomultiplier EMI 9659Q) and the signal acquired and averaged by a DEC

MINC 1123 minicomputer

With the DOAS a rotating slotted disk was used to allow rapid

scanning The slotted disk was formed by etching a set of exit slits (100

microm wide 10 m spacing) radially into a thin metal disk This disk was

rotated in the focal plane of the dispersed spectrua As each slit moved across the opening between the masks that block the two adjacent slits it

scanned a spectral range of -30-60 nm depending on the rotation frequency

of the slotted disk The orientation of the spectrometer grating

determined which specific spectral region was scanned As employed in its

final form in this program the slotted disk rotated at -4 Hz resulting in

a scan rate of -100 Hz well above the frequency distribution of

atmospheric turbulence (which otherwise would introduce unwanted structure

into the spectra)

As a slit became visible at the edge of the mask it was detected by

an infrared photodiode A trigger signal was sent to the computer which

continuously recorded digitized samples of the light intensity as the slit

scanned across the spectrum Since several tens of thousand such scans

were acquired and added in the computer memory within a few minutes this

improved the signal-to-noise ratio of the resulting spectrum The

rotational speed of the slotted disk was maintained constant to within

101j to preserve the spectral resolution while superimposing the scans

The computer was also used for spectral deconvolution and for the

calculation of optical densities

Since a single scan required only -10 msec atmospheric scintillation

effects had little effect on the signal Moreover since typically (2-8)

x 104 individual scans were recorded and signal-averaged over each several

minute measurement period even complete but momentary interruption of

the light beam had no appreciable effect on the final spectrum Except

under the haziest conditions stray light effects were negligible due to

the instruments narrow field of view -8 x 10-5 steradians] and in any

case stray light could be taken into account by means of appropriate

background spectra

The concentrations of atmospheric species were derived from Beers

Law However since the light intensity in the absence of any absorption

(1 0 ) cannot be obtained with this technique the differential optical

density was employed and thus only those compounds which have structured

absorption spectra could be measured Table IV-1 gives the characteristic

IV-3

absorption bands and detection limits for a number of atmospheric species

of interest based on a km pathlength It can be seen that the

detection limits range from 3 ppb for HCHO down to -10 ppt for the N03 radical For automatic scanning of spectra 32 or 40 reflections (corresshy

ponding to pathlengths of 800 and 1000 m respectively) were generally

employed and the corresponding detection limits for quantitative analyses

were then 06-07 ppb for HONO and 13-16 ppt for N03 radicals

C Results and Discussion

The SAPRC 25 m basepath DOAS system was set up at the Glendora site

in the specific orientation relative to other experiments conducted

during this field study as described in Section III

Essentially continuous DOAS measurements were conducted from August

13 until the morning of August 21 1986 Maximum ozone levels and peak

concentrations of N03 radicals during this study are sUD1Darized in Table

IV-2 Individual concentrations of HONO HCHO and N02 observed during

this period are given in tabular form in Appendix B and hourly average

data for these species are given in Tables IV-3 to IV-5 For the

majority of the time the pathlength was set to 800 m with a detection

limit equivalent to an optical density of 3 x o-14 bull The data reduction

process was more automated than previously and thus the detection limit was raised from 2 x 10-4 to 3 x 10-4 OD to offset the tendency of the

software to interpret noise at the detection limit as a peak The

corresponding detection limits were N02 35 ppb HOHO 08 ppb and

HCHO 45 ppb

Because the HONO and HCHO bands are overlapped by N02 bands and N02 is more abundant in the Los Angeles basin the DOAS spectra must be first

analyzed for N02 to enable its features to be quantitatively removed prior

to determining HONO and HCHO concentrations Figure IV-2 shows the timeshy

concentration profile for N02 from 0000 PDT on August 13 to 0800 PDT on

August 21 The solid line shows the DOAS data while the dashed line

shows measurements made by our chemiluminescence oxides of nitrogen

analyzer The two curves track each other very well during the nighttime

and early morning hours In the afternoon the NOx analyzer consistently

read 10 to 30 ppb higher since the DOAS values at those times were as low

as 15-25 ppb this caused a discrepancy of a factor of two or more The

higher values measured by the chemiluminescence method are attributed to

the known interferences of HN03 and PAN in this detection method

approximately equivalent to this difference in the DOAS N02 and chemilshy

After the quantitative removal of the N02 features from the OOAS

spectra the data reduction procedure utilized a simultaneous leastshy

squares fit or HON0 and HCHO reference spectra to the residual ambient air

spectra Figure IV-3 shows the time concentration profile for HCHO as

determined by DOAS (solid line) For comparison the FT-IR data from

Section V are shown as the dashed line The agreement between the two

methods is very good with the discrepancies being within the error

limits However it appears that the OOAS results for the first four

nights are consistently higher than the FT-IR data by about 1-3 ppb This

could be due to an overestimation of HCH0 absorption features in the OOAS

spectra since the reported FT-IR HCH0 levels were at or below the DOAS

detection limit of 45 ppb (where the signal-to-noise ratio was near

unity)

Finally the H0N0 time-concentration profile for August 13-21 is

presented in Figure IV-4 No comparison data are available for HON0 for

this study However as discussed above the only source of a large

systematic error would be the literature value for the HON0 absorption

cross-sections used in the calculations During the Citrus College field

study nighttime HON0 levels were higher than observed in the 1985

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study at Claremont where the maximum

HON0 concentrations were in the range 15 to 25 ppb For five of the

nights at Citrus College the HON0 concentrations were also in the same

range However for three nights H0N0 levels attained -35 ppb and

during the last night of the study H0N0 reached a maximum of Jamp5 ppb

There was however no correlation of the HON0 concentrations to the

nighttime N02 levels which were relatively constant at 60-75 ppb Since

the heterogeneous formation of H0N0 from N02 involves moisture correlashy

tions to other parameters such as relative humidity and particulate

loading may prove interesting

V LONG PATHLENGTH FT-IR MEASUREMENTS OF HN03 NH3 AND HCHO

A Introduction

As discussed elsewhere in more detail (Winer et al 1987) the long

pathlength FT-IR system was employed to provide benchmark data for the

Nitrogen Species Methods Comparison Study held at Pomona College

(Claremont) in September 1985 Following this the FT-IR spectrometer

participated in our winter field study at El Camino CoDJDUnity College

(Torrance) Due to a need for a more detailed comparison of HN03 measurements by the FT-IR and tunable diode laser spectroscopic (TDLS)

methods than had been possible during the 1985 Claremont study the

longpath FT-IR system was subsequently set up in Glendora on the Citrus

College campus for more intensive measurements of HN03 and NH3 between

August 12-21 1986 In this study species coverage by the FT-IR method

was extended to include the measurement of formaldehyde (HCH0) Attempts

were also made to detect N2o5 in ambient air by thorough examination of

the spectra recorded in the late afternoon and evening hours Alllllonia

(NH3) was included among middot the species measured since in certain

localities it can profoundly affect the concentration of gaseous HN03 by

its reaction to form aerosol anmonium nitrate (Doyle et al 1979 Tuazon

et al 1980)

B Experimental

1 Kilometer Pathlength FT-IR System

Measurements of ambient air pollutants by infrared spectroscopy

were carried out using a recently constructed 25-m basepath open

multiple-reflection optical system interfaced to a Mattson Instruments

Inc Sirius 100 FT-IR spectrometer This spectr0111eter has a maximum

resolution capability of 0125 cm-1 and is equipped with a Motorola 68000-

based data system The long pathlength optics are of the three-mirror

White design (White 1942) with provisions for adding a corner reflector

at the in-focus end (Horn and Pimentel 1971) when desired to effectively

double the systems pathlength The mirrors in this new optical system

were fabricated from 30 cm diameter 6 cm thick Pyrex blanks and goldshy

coated for the best reflectivity (~99J) in the infrared The optimum

pathlength for monitoring was determined to be in the 1-1 5 km range

V-1

during routine operation although short-term use or optical patha greater

than 2 km were possible

As discussed in Section Ill the long pathlengtb FT-IR spectrometer

was operated alongside the long pathlength DOAS systell as shown in Figure

V-1 The optical layout of the FT-IR system is preaented in more detail

in Figure V-2 The sets or mirrors of the two spectrometers were arrayed

in opposite directions but aligned side by side in a compact arrangement

which made possible simultaneous analyses of virtually the same air

mass The FT-IR spectrometer was housed in an air conditioned shed while

the multiple reflection mirror assembly outside was shaded from direct

sunlight by protective shields While the spectrometer system had an

initial height of 1 2 m (above ground level) designed into the optical

axis this was raised to a total of 24 m (8 ft) the C0111110n sampling

height required for all analytical techniques being compared during this

field study Massive concrete blocks were employed as support structures

to attain this sampling height

2 Acquisition of Spectra

Spectra were recorded at a pathlength of 1150 meters and 0125 1cm- resolution unapodized) Sixty-four scans interferograms) were

added during a 45-min period and then transformed (calculation time of

-25 min) to a single beam spectrum Each spectrUII of 128 K points was 1truncated and the spectral region from 400 to 3000 cm- which contained

the absorption bands of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 used for analysis was retained

and archived

Four to five spectra per hour were collected This rate or data

collection permitted a real-time examination of the quality of spectra

being recorded and such checks were consistently made during daytime and

early evening hours 0800-2200 PDT) During the noncritical period of

2200-0600 hours when nitric acid was expected to be below the detection

limit the FT-IR spectrometer was programed to conduct automatic

monitoring

expanded plot or the HN03 spectrum in the range 870-910 cm- 1 is presented

in Figure V-11 to which is added a middotqualitative single beam spectrum or 1clean ambient air at a pathlength of 1150 m The Q-branch at 896 1 cm-

was the most appropriate one for quantitative measureaent because or its

favorable half-width and minimal interference by ataaspheric water vapor

We restricted our measurements to the heights of the sharp absorption (Qshy

branch) features only since measurements which include the broad undershy

lying envelope were more susceptible to unknown interferences The 8854 1cm- Q-branch was totally free of interferences but its relatively

narrower line shape was more susceptible to distortion by noise while the 1strongest Q-branch at 8789 cm- was severely overlapped by a strong water

line

Of the numerous sharp features of the NH3 spectna depicted in Figure

V-3 the lines at 11034 and 8679 cm-1 though not the strongest suffer

the least interference by H2o and CO2 absorption lines and were therefore

the ones chosen for analysis The line positions of NH3 relative to those

of atmospheric H20 (and CO2) in the 1080-1120 cm-1 region are shown in

Figure V-5 The calibration procedure for trn3 was straightforward

Spectra were recorded at O 125 cm- 1 resolution for several NH3 pressures

in the range 02-1 torr which were measured to within 10005 torr

accuracy with an MKS Baratron capacitance manometer The NH3 samples were

transferred to a 25-cm cell with KBr windows and pressurized with N2 gas

to atmospheric pressure No measurable decay of IH3 concentration was

observed within the 15-minute period during which repeat spectra were

recorded for each sample These data yielded absorptivities (base 10) at

23degC and 740 torr total pressure of 182 cm-1 atm-1 for the 11034 cm-1

peak and 97 cm-1 atm- 1 for the 8679 cm- 1 peak with uncertainties of t5J

(two standard deviations for both values

A similar calibration procedure was not possible for HN03 because of

its significant decay to the walls of the 25-cm cell We determined our

high resolution absorptivity values relative to the data of Graham and

Johnston (1978) who made an accurate determination of the absorptivity of

the HN03 4 ( 1325 cm- 1 fundamental band at -2 cm-1 resolution using two

independent methods for generating HN03 ( for more details see also Graham

1975) We assigned Graham and Johnstons ( 1978 absorptivity value

feature in our 0125 cm- 1 resolution spectrum after S1100thing the latter

to -2 cm-1 resolution The absorptivity tor a Q-branch (eg 8961 cm- 1)

at O 125 cm-1 resolution was then determined from the intensity ratio of

the unsmoothed Q-branch to the smoothed P-branch

Smoothing removes the fine structure superimposed on the bandv4 envelope and in order to test the adequacy of tbe smoothing function

1employed measurements were carried out in which 2 cm-1 and 0125 cm-

resolution spectra were recorded alternately for an 11103 sample To take

into account the HN03 decay in the cell the 1315 cm-1 peak heights at 2

cm- 1 resolution were plotted against time as were those or the 0125 cm- 1

resolution spectra after having been smoothed to -2 m-1 resolution The

two curves were found to be indistinguishable indicating the accuracy or

the smoothing function applied The above procedure yielded a value of

52 plusmn 04 cm- 1 atm-1 for the absorptivity (base 10) of the HN03 peak at

896 1 cm- 1 (Q-branch height only) with the two standard deviation error

including that reported by Graham (1975) This value is in fact the same

as that we previously determined for this peak at 05 cm-1 resolution

(Tuazon et al 1980) Following the same method the absorptivity of the

8854 cm-1 Q-branch was found to be 61 plusmn 05 cm-1 ata- 1bull

The calibration procedure for HCHO was the sue as that for NH bull3Formaldehyde samples were pre-distilled from paraformaldehyde and

immediately used after collection in a liquid nitrogen cooled trap The

absorptivity value of the 2781 0 cm- 1 Q-branch an absorption peak well

isolated from H2o absorptions was determined to be 89 plusmn 05 cm- 1 atm-1

4 Treatment of Data

The quantitative analysis of species such as NH3 which possess

relatively narrow Q-branch features which are sufficiently resolved from

atmospheric H2o absorptions was normally straightforward The absorbance

(log 10 1 was derived directly from the single beaa spectrum and thus a

ratio plot against an actual background spectrum was not necessary Proshy

vided that the detector had a linear response 10

and I as determined from

a single beam spectrum had values on an arbitrary scale in which zero

corresponded to zero signal on the detector The appropriate differential

absorption coefficient such as those determined above and the absorption

pathlength had to be applied to the absorption intensity measured between

V-9

and I in order to convert to concentration units This procedure was10

followed for the 11034 and 8679 cm-1 lines of NH3 Estimates of the HN03 concentration could also be obtained from

single-beam spectra by employing the 8854 cmmiddot1 Q-branch However the

HN03 analysis was more reliably carried out using the 8961 cm-1 Q-branch

by ratioing the sample spectrum with a clean background spectrum a

procedure which improved the baseline and resulted in essentially complete

cancellation of a very weak H20 interference Background spectra were

chosen from those recorded at around midnight during low pollution days

since previous measurements (Spicer et al 1982) showed HN03 levels that

were much lower (lt1 ppb) than the FT-IR detection limit under these

conditions

The peak-to-peak noise level in the ratio spectrum was typically

00025 absorbance unit base 10) corresponding to a 250 1 signal to

peak-to-peak noise ratio for single spectral records The absorption

peaks used for the analyses were much wider than the frequency of random

noise such that peak heights as small as the noise level could be

detected above the noise itself Thus the detection sensitivities were

3-5 ppb for HN03 1-2 ppb for NH3 and 2-3 ppb for HCHO The lower

detection limit for each compound was realized when turbulence due to

temperature gradients andor wind were minimal for example during

nighttime hours)

The possible detection of N2o5 depended on how well its broad band

centered at 1246 cm- 1 ( 12) could be discerned from interfering H20

absorptions The H2o interferences were reduced by ratioing the sample

spectra against selected background spectra taken during those periods

(mid-morning to noon) when N2o5 was believed not to be present due to the

rapid photolysis of No3 radicals Although exact cancellation of the H2o absorptions was not possible the windows between these absorptions were

sufficient to define a baseline from which the presence of a broad absorpshy

tion contour could be distinguished From the literature value of 188

cm- 1 atmmiddot 1 for the absorptivity of the 1246 cm-1 peak (Graham 1975 Graham

and Johnston 1978) it was calculated that 5 ppb N2o5 at a pathlength of

1150 m would give a signal of -001 absorbance unit (base 10) approxishy

mately 4 times the peak-to-peak baseline noise of the ratio spectrum

V-10

The largest source of uncertainty in the analyses was the noise level

in the spectrum with other errors being generally negligible We

assigned to each peak height measurement the maxillum error which was

equal to the peak-to-peak noise level For HN03 this error was 4 ppb

The uncertainty arising from the error in the absorptivity (of the 8961

cm- 1 Q-branch in this case) increased with the concentration However

this contribution to the overall error limit was relatively small for the

range of HN03 concentrations encountered For example it increased the

t4 ppb error by only 10j when included in the error calculation for an

HN03 concentration of 25 ppb For NH concentrations i20 ppb the sum of uncertainties due to noise3

and error in the absorptivity of the 11034 cm-1 line was plusmn15 ppb At

higher concentrations the contribution from the absorptivity error became

relatively more important A detailed plot of this error contribution as

a function of concentration revealed that it is nearly linear in the

concentration range 20 to 100 ppb permitting the additional error to be

calculated from the empirical formula (0044( [NH3]-20) ppb Thus for the measurement of 60 ppb NH3 the total error can be calculated as [ 15 +

0 044 )( 60-20)] = plusmn33 ppb

For the range of HCH0 concentrations encountered in the 1986 Glendora

study the measurement errors were less than plusmn3 ppb

C Results and Discussion

As discussed in Section II our measurements were conducted in

conjunction with the CARB-sponsored Carbonaceous Species Methods

Comparison Study which occurred from 0800 PDT August 12 to 0800 PDT

August 21 1986 ln contrast with the low level of air pollution during

the 1985 Claremont summer field study this August 1986 measurement period

at Citrus College was characterized by moderately high levels of photoshy

chemical activity Except for the second day of measurements the maximum

hourly average o3 concentrations exceeded 200 ppb each day

The FT-IR spectra obtained were analyzed for the simultaneous concenshy

trations of HN03 NH3 and HCH0 The detailed instantaneous data are

presented in Table V-1 and are plotted in Figure V-6 The hourly average concentrations are presented in Tables V-2 to V-4 Except for periods of

power disruption on August 14 and the loss of most of the daytime data on

August 17 due to a fault in archiving the data onto agnetic tapes the

FT-IR system provided continuous coverage of HCHO and 1H3 concentrations

since they were always above the respective detection 11llits of -2-3 ppb

and -1-15 ppb HN~ was generally above the -3-Ji ppb detection

sensitivity between 0800 hr and 2000 hr each day throughout the study

period As for the 1985 Claremont and the 1986 Torrance studies N2o5 was

not observed above the estimated detection limit of 4 ppb

The FT-IR analysis of formaldehyde was easily carried out with the

use of single-beam spectra since the HCHO infrared spectrum has a Qshy

branch at 27810 cm-1 well isolated from other atmospheric absorptions

HCHO was included as one of the species to be measured by FT-IR (except

during the first day) because of the need for a standard against which

other HCHO methods employed at this study could be compared Our

contribution to this aspect of the carbonaceous species study was to

provide HCHO measurements by both DOAS and FT-IR spectroscopy either

method of which can serve as a benchmark standard l comparison or the

two sets of spectroscopic data for HCHO has been discussed in Section IV

and comparison with the results of the other HCHO methods is currently

being carried out by Dr Douglas Lawson of the CARB

The NH3 concentrations observed in Glendora (Table V-2) during the

first six days or the field study (September 12-17 were generally in the

range of 2-4 ppb These levels are similar to those aeasured during the

1985 Claremont study for the periods when there was no localized transport

of NH3 to the latter site from nearby agricultural sources NH3 levels

during the remaining days (August 18-21 were more variable and generally

about twice the above range of values (Figure V-6 he erratic pattern

found in the NH3 concentrations during these three days which is also

noticeable in the more well-defined HCHO and HN03 concentration profiles

(Figure V-6 could well be due to the prevailing wind conditions

The maximum instantaneous concentrations of HN~ attained 20 ppb or

higher during the eight days that the FT-IR measurements provided detailed

HN03 profiles (Figure V-6) with the highest concentration of 33 ppb being

observed on August 19 Comparison of our Dasibi ozone data with the FT-IR

measurements of HN03 showed a strong correspondence between the HN03 and

maxima This is illustrated in Figure V-7 for the pollution episodeso3 of August 15-16 where the hourly average HN03 concentrations (by FT-IR)

VI AMBIENT CONCENTRATIONS OF PAH AND NITRO-PAH

A Introduction

The PAH emitted from combustion sources exhibit a wide range of

volatility and are hence distributed in the atmosphere between the gas

and particle phases As we have shown previously (Arey et al 1987)

complementary sampling techniques are required to obtain a comprehensive

data set concerning the concentrations of volatile and non-volatile PAH

and their derivatives in the atmosphere Thus the volatile 2-ring PAH such as naphthalene which are present almost entirely in the gas-phase

can be quantitatively collected on Tenax GC solid adsorbent The nonshy

volatile 5-ring and larger PAH and 3- to 4-ring nitro-PAH are particle

associated and are collected totally on the Hi-vol filters The 3- and 4-

ring PAH of intermediate volatility and the 2-ring nitro-PAH can be

collected on PUF plugs as well as on the filters indicating that they are

either present mainly in the gas-phase or are blown-off the filter

during the collection period Thus three different collection media were

employed for the ambient air sampling at Citrus College Tenax-GC solid

adsorbent PUF plugs and Hi-vol filters The ambient air samples were

collected from August 12 to August 21 with 12-hr day (0800-2000 PDT) and

night (2000-0800 PDT) sampling intervals

B Experimental

1 Sampling Media Cleaning Procedure

Tenax-GC solid adsorbent was Soxhlet extracted in a cellulose

thimble for -5 hr in a 64 (vv) acetonehexane mixture After packing in

Pyrex tubes (using precleaned glass wool) the Tenax cartridges were

conditioned for -4 hr by heating at 275degC with nitrogen flowing through

them at -20 mL min- 1 The Teflon-impregnated glass fiber (TIGF) filters

and PUF plugs were cleaned by Soxhlet extraction for -16 hr in methylene

chloride followed by another 16 hr extraction with methanol

2 Tenax-GC Cartridges Sampling and Analysis

Two sizes of Tenax-GC cartridge were used for the collection of

gas-phase PAH at different flow rates Low-flow cartridges consisted of

10 cm x 4 nnn id Pyrex tubes packed with 0 1 g of Tenax GC solid

adsorbent with sampling flow rates of -1 L min-1 yielding an -06 m3

VI-1

volume of air for each 12-hr sampling period High-flow cartridges

consisted of 10 cm x 1 cm id Pyrex tubes packed with 06 g of Tenax-GC

and operated at flow rates of -10 L min-1 resulting in -6 m3 of air

sampled during a 12-hr period Each low-flow cartridge was equipped with

back-up Tenax cartridge placed in series downstream from the first

cartridge to check for breakthrough

After sampling the Tenax cartridges were stored in dry-ice transshy

ported to SAPRC and stored in a freezer prior to analysis

For analysis deuterated internal standards were added to the lowshy

and high-flow Tenax cartridges respectively as follows in microg)

naphthalene-d5 (18 16) biphenyl-d10 (07 10) phenanthrene-d 10 (06

06) The low- and high-flow cartridges were eluted with 2 mL and 10 mL respectively of diethyl ether which was then solvent exchanged to -02

mL of acetonitrile (using a micro-Snyder apparatus for the high-flow

cartridges)

PAH identifications and quantifications were made by combined gas

chromatographymass spectrometry (GCMS) with multiple ion detection

(MID) as described in detail below

3 High-Volume Filters Followed by PUF Plugs Sampling and Analysis

Two high-volume sampler systems consisting of a TIGF filter

follow by four PUF plugs (-9 cm diameter x 5 cm thickness) [see Figure VI-

1] were run at -23 SCFM for 12 hr intervals yielding ambient samples

collected from -1000 m3 of air

Prior to analysis the PUF plugs were combined into six samples

consisting of a single day sample and a single nighttime sample from the

early portion of the study single day and single night samples from the

latter part of the study and composite samples from four day and four

nights Specifically the samples were (11) August 13 0800-2000 hr

(2) August 13-14 2000-0800 hr (3) August 15 16 17 and 18 0800-2000

hr (4) August 15-16 16-17 17-18 18-19 2000-0800 hr (5 August 20

0800-2000 hr (6 August 20-21 2000-0800 hr

The samples from a single 12-hr day or night collection period (ie

samples 1 2 5 and 6) each consisted of eight PUF plugs (four from each

of the two Hi-vols used and these were combined and extracted together

The composite samples 3 and 4 were each analyzed in two parts ~UF

plugs 1-3 (see Figure VI-1) and to check for breakthrough of the more

Soxhlet extracted overnight (-16 hr) with methylene chloride concentrated

by rotary evaporation under vacuum to -4 mL filtered through 045 microm

Acrodiscs (Gelman Sci) and concentrated further under a stream of

nitrogen to -500 microL

The extracts were fractionated by HPLC using an Altex semi-prepashy

rative scale Ultrasphere Silica column (1 cm x 25 cm) Figure VI-2 shows

a typical HPLC profile of a PUF plug extract together with the mobile

phase program employed A fraction containing the PAH was collected from

4 min to 22 min and a nitroarene-containing fraction from 22 min to 34

min The fractions were concentrated by rotary evaporation then taken

just to dryness under a stream of nitrogen After dissolving in acetoshy

nitrile or CH2c12 the PAH and nitroarene fractions were analyzed by

GCMS-MID as described below

4 Hi-Vols with TIGF Filters Sampling and Analysis

Seven Hi-vol samplers each equipped with a 10 microm cut-off inlet

were employed for POM collection The samplers were run at -40 SCFM

yielding an ambient sample collected from -800 m3 of air for each Hi-vol

over a 12-hr sampling period Two Hi-vols were employed solely for the

collection of POM used for mutagenicity testing The TIGF filters from

the remaining five Hi-vols were combined into six samples corresponding to

the PUF plug samples described above ie samples 1 and 2 and samples

5 and 6 comprised the single day and night samples from August 13-14 and

August 20-21 respectively and samples 3 and 4 were the composite day

and night samples from August 15-16 16-17 17-18 and 18-19 The filter

extraction and work-up procedure was as shown in Scheme VI-1 Each sample

was spiked with deuterated internal standards as follows (single 12-hr

samples and composite samples respectively in pg) fluoranthene-d 10

the extracts were concentrated by rotary evaporation and precleaned by

open-column silica chromatography using sequential elution with hexane

CH2c12 and methanol (MeOH) to segregate the aliphatic hydrocarbons (eluted

with hexane) and polar material (eluted with MeOH) The fraction of

from 4 min to 13 min and a nitroarene-containing fraction from 13 to 25

min The latter fraction contained the lower molecular weight nitroarenes

as well as nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (mw 247) and some higher

molecular weight PAH This fraction was divided into two parts 20 was

analyzed by GCMS-MID for PAH and lower molecular weight nitroarenes and

was then analyzed by GCMS-MID see below)

5 GCMS Analyses

Compound identifications and quantifications were made using

either a Finnigan 3200 quadrupole GCMS interfaced to a Teknivent data

system or a Hewlett Packard 5890 GC interfaced to a Hewlett Packard 5970

mass selective detector MSD) both operated in the electron impact mode

(70 eV) The GC separations were done either on a 60 m DB-5 fused silica

capillary column with a cool on-column injection system (J ampWScientific

Inc) or on a 30 m DB-5 fused silica capillary column with splitless

injection Both columns eluted directly into the MS ion source

Calibration curves for the GCMS-MID quantification of the PAH were

made for the molecular ion peaks of the PAH using the corresponding

deuterated species (or the deuterated species most closely matched in

volatility and retention characteristics) as an internal standard The

C Results

1 Volatile PAH Sampled on Tenax-GC Cartridges

The most abundant PAH collected on the Tenaz-GC cartridges were

naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene GC~ analysis of Tenax

samples in the full scanning mode (rather than the MID mode used for

quantification) showed that not unexpectedly several alkylbenzenes were

also very abundant Table VI-1 sUJ11Darizes the ambient concentrations (ng

m-3) of the volatile PAH measured For reasons which will be detailed

below the naphthalene data from the low-flow cartridges have been

utilized while the data for the remaining PAH have been taken from the

values obtained from the high-flow cartridges

In Appendix B Table B-1 the microg quantities of each PAH measured on

the low-flow Tenax cartridges (for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications)

and the calculated total volumes for each sample are listed Replicate

injections gave reproducible values for naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylshy

naphthalene while the levels of biphenyl fluorene and phenanthrene were

too low for accurate quantification Also listed in Table B-1 are the

quantities of PAH observed on the back-up Tenax cartridges which were

also generally too low for accurate quantification Table B-2 lists the

microg quantities measured and volumes sampled for the high-flow cartridges

Since the volumes of air sampled on the high-flow cartridges was a factor

of 10 greater than the low-flow cartridges biphenyl fluorene and phenshy

anthrene could be accurately determined and in addition acenaphthylene

and acenaphthene were measured

Only traces of naphthalene were observed on the Tenax cartridges

which were back-up cartridges for the low-flow Tenax ie less than a

few percent of that measured on the primary cartridge Therefore

naphthalene was collected quantitatively on the low-flow Tenax Table VI-

2 compares the ambient naphthalene and 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene concenshy

trations calculated from the low-flow and high-flow Tenax cartridges The

high-flow values for naphthalene were consistently lower than those

obtained from the low-flow Tenax samples indicating that naphthalene was

not collected quantitatively at a collection rate of 10 L min- 1 at the

ambient temperatures encountered at Citrus College Hence the low-flow

Tenax values for naphthalene are given in Table VI-1

( There is good agreement between the nighttime concentrations of the

1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes calculated from the low- and high-flow Tenax

samples For the daytime samples when the observed concentrations were

generally low the high-flow values tended to be somewhat higher than the

low-flow values and were judged to be more accurate It should be noted

that the low-flow values for 1-methylnaphthalene have been corrected for a

significant interference which was observed on the back-up Tenax

2 PAH Sampled on PUF Plugs

GCMS analysis of the HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts in

which the PAH elute (see Figure VI-2) showed this fraction to contain many

less abundant alkyl-PAH and dibenzothiophene as well as fluorene phenshy

anthrene anthracene fluoranthene and pyrene It must be remembered that

these PAH will be distributed between the gaseous and particle phases in

ambient air and that the quantities measured on the PUF plugs are the sum

of the PAH in the gas phase and the PAH initially present on the POM but

blown-off during the collection period

The ambient concentrations of five PAH and the sulfur heterocycle

dibenzothiophene measured on the PUF plugs are given in Table vI3 The

most abundant PAH collected on the PUF plugs was fluorene From the

composite samples in which the fourth PUF plugs were analyzed separately

it was obvious that fluorene (mw 166) and PAH of higher volatility were

not collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs since substantial amounts

were present on the fourth PUF (see Table VI-3) Consistent with fluorene

not being collected quantitatively on the PUF plugs the ambient concenshy

trations of fluorene listed in Table VI-1 from the Tenax cartridge quanshy

tifications are -2-5 fold higher than those listed in Table VI-3 The

ambient concentrations of phenanthrene measured on the PUF plugs and Tenax

cartridges agree to within better than a factor of two

Figure VI-4 shows the GCMS-MID traces of naphthalene and alkylshy

naphthalenes for the Tenax and PUF samples from the evening of 813-1486

From the Tenax sample trace it is clear that naphthalene was the most

abundant species (at a measured concentration of -5000 ng m-3)

Comparing the Tenax and PUF sample traces it is apparent that naphthalene

was retained on the PUF plugs only to a minor extent (with a measured

concentration of -2 ng m-3 Interestingly although not quantitatively

collected on the PUF plugs the presence of dimethylnaphthalenes in

ambient air is apparent from the PUF samples

3 Diurnal Variations in the Volatile PAH

The ambient concentrations of naphthalene measured for 12-hr day

and night sampling intervals throughout the Citrus College study are shown

in Figure VI-5 It can be seen from these data that the naphthalene conshy

centrations were generally higher during the evening sampling intervals

and that there was a trend toward higher concentrations in the latter part

of the study

The daytime and nighttime concentrations of _ and 2-methylnaphthashy

lene are shown in Figure VI-6 As observed for naphthalene the nighttime

concentrations were generally higher The concentration of 2-methylshy

naphthalene was consistently higher than that of 1-methylnaphthalene The

concentration profiles of the methylnaphthalenes were remarkably similar

perhaps indicating a common source and similar atmospheric loss processes

Reaction with the hydroxyl radical is expected to be the major loss

process for both species with essentially identical atmospheric lifetimes

for 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987a)

All of the volatile PAH were generally more abundant during the

nighttime than daytime sampling intervals (see Table VI-1 and VI-3

Meteorological factors such as inversion heights may certainly have played

a role in this observed trend at Citrus College bu it can be seen that

these diurnal variations are not solely due to meteorology by comparing

the diurnal profiles of species of differing reactiviy For example the

GCMS-MID traces for the molecular ion of biphenyl a11d acenaphthene (mz

154 for a typical daytime and nighttime Tenax sample are shown in Figure

VI-7 As seen from this figure acenaphthene [the ioore reactive of these

PAH (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b] was generally significantly more

abundant in the nighttime samples presumably beig removed by rapid

reaction with the OH radical during daylight hours

GCMS-MID traces of daytime and nighttime PUF samples showing the

analyses of isomeric PAH of differing reactivity are shown in Figures VI-8

and VI-9 While phenanthrene was abundant on both ~~e day and nighttime

PUF plug samples the relative abundance of anthracen~ to phenanthrene was

consistently higher at night Figure VI-8) Similarly acephenanthrylene

an isomer of fluoranthene and pyrene expected to be more reactive than

these PAH towards ozone (Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) was generally not

observed in the daytime PUF samples from Citrus College (Figure VI-9)

4 Nitroarenes Sampled on PUF Plugs

The HPLC fraction of the PUF plug extracts eluting from 22 to 34

min (Figure VI-2) contained the volatile nitroarene species The most

abundant nitroarenes were 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene GCMS analysis in

the full scanning mode showed that this nitroarene-containing HPLC

fraction also contained alkylnitrophenols

Figure Vl-10 shows GCMS-MID traces from a typical analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug extract for 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene (NN) As

seen from this figure identification was based on the presence of several

characteristic fragment ions as well as retention time matching with the

1-nitronaphthalene-d7 internal standard Figure VI-11 shows the presence

of several peaks at mz 187 which elute after 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene

These peaks were identified as methylnitronaphthalenes ( 14 isomers are

possible on the basis of the presence of characteristic [M-N02]+ and [Mshy

HN02J+ fragment ions as well as the mz 187 molecular ion

GCMS-MID traces of a standard mixture of the three nitrobiphenyl

isomers and two isomers of nitroacenaphthene are shown in Figure VI-12

5-Nitroacenaphthene has previously been reported in ambient air (Tokiwa et

al 1981) At Torrance CA during a wintertime high-NOx episode we did

not observe nitroacenaphthene but measured high concentrations of the

isomeric species 3-nitrobiphenyl (Arey et al 1987) In Figure Vl-13 the

[Mr ions of the standard mixture are shown together with the [M)+ ions

and characteristic fragment ion traces obtained from the analysis of a

Citrus College PUF plug sample As at Torrance CA the nitroarene isomer

of mw 199 observed at Citrus College was clearly 3-nitrobiphenyl

Table Vl-4 gives the microg quantities of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and

3-nitrobiphenyl collected on the PUF plugs at Citrus College From the

fourth PUF plugs of the composite samples it can be seen that 3-

nitrobiphenyl was quantitatively collected on the first three PUF plugs

Particularly during the daytime samples some breakthrough of 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene occurred In addition to these nitroarene species

traces of 9-nitroanthracene were observed in most of the Citrus College

PUF plug samples but the levels present were too low to quantify

5 PAH Sampled on TIGF Filters

As described in Section B above the extracts of the TIGF filters

were fractionated by HPLC HPLC fractions 2-5 (see Figure VI-3) were

collected as the PAH fraction with fractions 6-7 being chosen to include

the n i troarenes Through the use of deuterated internal standards it

became apparent that the higher molecular weight PAH such as dibenz(ah)shy

anthracene were eluting in HPLC fractions 6-7 The data reported here

for the PAH on filters will be for the lower molecular weight species

ie fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and

benzo(a)pyrene Fractions 6-7 will be analyzed for the higher molecular

weight PAH and the full range of data for PAH on particles will be given

in our final report for our on-going CARB project (Contract No A5-185-

32) A survey of ambient concentrations of selected polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons (PAH) at various locations in California

Table VI-6 lists values for fluoranthane pyrene benz(a)anthracene

chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene in the NBS SRM 1649 an air

particulate sample collected in Washington DC The values recently

reported by the NBS (Wise et al 1986) for analyses by GC and HPLC with

fluorescence detection along with our values determined by GCMS-MID are

given The extraction and clean-up procedures we used for the SRM

particles were as described in Section B for the Citrus College POM sample

analyses As can be seen from Table VI-6 the agreement between our

values and those reported by NBS is generally excellent

The microg quantities of the five PAH measured in the Citrus College POM

samples for replicate GCMS-MID quantifications are given in Appendix B

Table B-3 The concentrations of these five PAH in ng m-3 (averaging the

replicate values) are given in Table VI-7 Two additional samples 7 and

8 repeat day and night composites are also listed in Tables B-3 and

VI-7 It was found that in taking the benzenemethanol extracts to a

constant weight a significant fraction of the deuterated internal stanshy

dards fluoranthene-d 10 pyrene-d 10 and even 2-nitrofluoranthene-d9 were

lost The use of internal standards should of course allow for correcshy

tion of such losses Since all of the filters from each day or night

comprising these composites had not been extracted we made replicate

composite samples and extracted these replicates with dichloromethane As

can be seen from Table VI-7 the composites and the repeat composites

VI-28

agree to within better than a factor of two In our current procedure for

POM analyses the benzenemethanol extract is not taken to dryness

The ambient concentrations of the nitrofluoranthenes and nitroshy

pyrenes measured for the six Citrus College POM samples are given in Table

VI-7 As we have observed previously (Pitts et al 1985c Ramdahl et al

1986 Arey et al 1987) 2-nitrofluoranthene was the most abundant

particle-associated nitroarene The GCMS-MID trace of the molecular ion

for the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (mz 247) from the August 20-

VII AMBIENT MUTAGENICITY

A Introduction

For the past several years the mutagenicity of ambient P0M has been

recognized as a characteristic of polluted urban atmospheres Further-

more although airborne particulate matter contains many carcinogenic PAH

its mutagenic activity does not resemble that of the PAH which require

mammalian metabolic activation (S9) as a requisite for expression of their

mutagenicity in the Ames Salmonella test Instead ambient P0M is

directly active ie expressing mutagenicity without the addition of

S9 and thus showing that other classes of organic chemicals which are

direct-acting mutagens are also present in ambient air

As an integral part of the CSMCS carried out at Citrus College

Glendora we measured the mutagenicity of collected 12-hour particulate

samples both with and without mammalian metabolic activation on

Salmonella strain TA98 Additionally we obtained mutagenicity data on

strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6

B Experimental

Sample Preparation for Mutagenicity Testing As noted in Section

II I POM samples were collected on a 12-hr basis throughout the study

period from 0800-2000 and 2000-0800 PDT The collected particulate

matter from two Hi-vols fitted with 10 microm cut-off inlets was weighed and

the filters Soxhlet extracted for 16-hr using a benzenemethanol (8020

azeotrope The solvent was removed under vacuum and the extracts were

taken to dryness under a stream of dry nitrogen Prior to mutagenicity

testing the sample extracts were stored in the dark at -75degC On the day

of the test each extract was taken up in DMS0 using a 20-minute

sonication and serial dilutions in DMS0 were made from this stock

solution

Tester Strains Ames Salmonella strain TA98 was used because of its

sensitivity to atmospheric particulate mutagens such as the nitroarenes

(Rosenkranz and Mermelstein 1983 and each particulate extract was tested

on this strain both in the presence and the absence of manmalian metabolic ( activation (S9 Each sample was also tested on strains TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6 in the absence of S9 as a possible indication of nitroarene

VII-1

mutagenicity TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 are isolates of TA98 which are

deficient in a nitroreductase Rosenkranz and Speck 1975 McCoy et al

1981 and a transacetylase enzyme (McCoy et al 1983 Orr et al 1985

Saito et al 1985 respectively The deficiency or these enzymes which

are required in the activation of many nitroarenes to penultimate

mutagens renders these strains less sensitive than TA98 to many mutagenic

nitroarenes Thus when a complex mixture exhibits less activity on

TA98NR or TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 it may be an indication of the

contribution of ni troarenes to the mutagenic activity of that sample

Table VII-1 shows the response of TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to

TA98 for several mutagenic atmospheric nitroarenes

The strains were cultured in 40 mL of L-broth for 12 hours at 37degC

with shaking The culture density was estimated by its absorbance at 550

nm and each strain was diluted with fresh medium to an absorbance

previously calculated to yield the standard culture density of 109 colony

forming units per mL (approximately 028 absorbance units) After

dilution the cultures were maintained in an ice bath for the duration of

the test The titer of each culture was determined by dilution and

plating on histidine-supplemented medium E The standard genotypic

markers which were routinely checked were crystal violet sensitivity UV

sensitivity and ampicillin resistance Three standard positive-control

mutagens were tested on each strain 1) 2-nitrofluorene a positive

control mutagen which we have used for the past ten years to check the

response of TA98 was also used to check the reduced response of TA98NR

relative to TA98 2 18-dinitropyrene was used to check the reduced

response of TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98 and TA98NR for nitroarenes

which require the Salmonella transacetylase for activation and 3)

quercetin was used to check the equivalent response of these strains to

non-nitroarene mutagens Additionally benzo(apyrene was tested on

TA98(+S9) to check the response of this strain to indirect mutagens

Our testing protocol consistently results in somewhat higher

mutagenicities than other laboratories which we attribute primarily to

the use of L-broth instead of Oxoid broth to culture the tester strains

L-broth has about twice the amount of histidine as does Oxoid and its use

results in larger amounts of histidine on the test plate Because it is

the limiting growth factor a higher amount of histidine results in a

higher number of cells on the test plate and hence a higher number of

revertants (Maron and Ames 1983) The use of L-broth also results in a

somewhat denser background lawn of unreverted Salmonella but colony

morphology and visibility are unaffected

S9 Mix Arochlor 1254-induced rat liver S9 was prepared by Litton

Bionetics Inc according to the method of Ames et al (1975) and containshy

ed 26 mg mL- 1 protein (manufacturers analysis) NADP was purchased from

Boehringer Mannheim and glucose-6-phosphate was purchased from Sigma

Chemical Company

The S9 mix was prepared by the standard protocol (Ames et al 1975

Maron and Ames 1983) with 001 ml S9 per plate c2i vv mix) This S9

concentration was chosen since we have previously found a 2i vv mix to be

optimal in activating ambient particulate extracts collected in southern

California Frequently the use of S9 in testing ambient POM results in a

net decrease in activity as deactivation of direct mutagens overrides the

presumed activation of indirect mutagens such as the PAH Many

nitroarenes are also subject to this S9 suppression of activity

VI-3

Testing Protocol The standard Ames Salmonella plate incorporation

mutagenicity test was performed according to the method of Ames and coshy

workers (Ames et al 1975 Maron and Ames 1983) with some modifications to

improve its accuracy and precision (Belser et al 1981) Because of the

large number of plates required for the complete set of samples the

extracts were assayed in two tests 1) TA98 with and without S9 and 2)

TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 without S9 By dividing the tests by strain the

variation in response within one sample set was minimized Each extract

was tested in triplicate at eight doses chosen to logarithmically span the

region of linear response observed in the past for ambient P0M In

anticipation of lower activities on TA98NR and TA981 8-DNP6 the doses

chosen for these strains were twice as great as those for TA98 Hence

each sample was tested at 3 6 11 21 38 70 135 and 250 microg plate- 1 on

TA98 and at 6 12 22 42 76 140 270 and 500 microg plate-1 on TA98NR and

TA9818-DNP6

Each test was performed in a single afternoon by means of a procedure

designed to improve intraday precision Belser et al 1981) Darkroom

conditions were employed throughout to prevent any photodecomposi tion of

the samples which might occur under laboratory fluorescent 1 ights The

plates were incubated at 37degC for 63 hours and counted with a Biotran

automatic colony counter (New Brunswick Scientific) directly interfaced to

a microcomputer ( Apple II) The extract potencies or specific activishy

ties were obtained by 1 inear regression analysis of the dose-response

data in the region of linear response The slope of the dose-response 1curve is the specific activity in revertants microg- The ratios of the

specific activities on strains TA98NR and TA9818-DNP6 relative to TA98

were then calculated

From the specific activities the extract weights and the weights of

the particulate matter collected the potencies of the particulate matter

or mutagen loadings in revertants per mg of particulate matter collected

were calculated Finally from the specific activities the extract

weights and the volumes of sampled air the airborne mutagenicity conshy

centrations or mutagen densities in revertants per m3 of sampled air

were calculated

VII-4

( C Results

The complete data set including the sample collection data is given

in Tables VII-2 to VII-5 The concurrent General Motors Laboratories

mutagen density data (J Siak T L Chan and G T Wolff private

connnunication) are included in Table VII-5 for comparison As we have

observed before in southern California the sampled POM was principally

directly active the average direct activity (TA98 -S9 was 345 rev m-3

as compared to 332 rev m-3 with metabolic activation TA98 +S9 Figure

VII-1 shows the mutagen density with and without S9 observed during this

study The values are intermediate in the range of mutagen densities we

have observed before in southern California and followed a general trend

towards higher values at the end of the study Figure VII-2 shows the

TA98 +S9 to TA98 -S9) ratio together with the TA98 (-S9) mutagen

density which are anticorrelated Thus sampling periods with higher

direct mutagenicity tended to be those which exhibited less promutagenshy

icity and greater direct activity This observation is consistent in a

qualitative manner with the presence in ambient POM of nitroarenes

The final nighttime sampling period during this study 820-2186

2000-0800 PDT) was unusual because of the high levels of volatile and nonshy

volatile nitroarenes present in the atmosphere For example the 2-nitroshy

fluoranthene concentration was a factor of ~5 greater than on the previous

day and the 1-nitronaphthalene concentration increased by over a factor of

two Concurrent observations of the presence of the nitrate radical

indicated that chemistry could have been occurring on this nightN2o5 Our measured mutagen density however declined by a factor of two

inconsistent with these other observations Moreover in contrast to our

results researchers at General Motors Laboratories using CH2c12 as an

extraction solvent observed a significant increase in mutagenicity (TA98

-S9) from the daytime 82086 0800-2000 PDT) sample to the nighttime

(820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) sample in their tests Since we had used a

benzene-methanol azeotrope as the extraction solvent system we decided to

retest the POM collected during these final two sampling periods using

dichloromethane as the extraction solvent

For this second mutagenicity test using CH2c12-extraction POM

collected on TGF filters in Hi-vol samplers modified to allow PUF plugs

to be placed downstream from the filters was employed These modified Hishy

vol samplers were operated at a flow rate or 23 SCFM instead of the

conventional 40 SCFM) to ensure that the flow controller remained

operative One filter from the daytime (82086 0800-2000 PDT) and one

filter from the nighttime 820-2186 2000-0800 PDT) collection period

were Soxhlet extracted for 16 hours with CH2c12 and tested on TA98 -S9)

The results or this collection and mutagenicity test are given in

Table VII-6 together with the data for our previous test of the benzene-methanol extracts As can be seen from the TSP data the modified

samplers collected more particulate matter than the standard Hi-vol as

expected since these Hi-vols were not equipped with a size-selective

inlet This was not expected to have greatly affected the mutagenicity

results however because very little mutagenicity is present on particles

larger than -10 micro

The more polar benzene-methanol solvent system extracted much more

material than did CH2c12 bull Despite the larger amount of polar material

present in the benzene-methanol samples the mutagen density for the

nighttime sample is three-fold lower than for the corresponding CH2c12-

extracted sample In contrast the mutagen density for the benzeneshy

methanol daytime sample is somewhat higher than for the corresponding

CH2c12-extracted sample Apparently the polar material in the benzeneshy

methanol extract of the nighttime sample inhibited the mutagenicity of

this extract probably through toxic or bacteriostatic action In

contrast the mutagenici ty of the polar compounds in the daytime sample

overcame any inhibitory effect

These observations illustrate the inherent compromises in choosing a

solvent system for extracting ambient POM The benzene-methanol solvent

system was chosen precisely because it extracts more polar material than

does CH2c12 and does not generate the artifactual mutagenicity associated

with the use of acetonitrile Indeed because inhibitory compounds may be

of the same polarity as mutagens every solvent system must result in an

underestimation of the mutagenicity of ambient POM This underscores the

need for identification and quantification of ambient mutagens Once

identified and tested for mutagenicity in their pure form the known

mutagens in a sample can be quantified and an accurate sum of their

mutagenicities can be obtained

VIII CONCLUSIONS

The objectives of SAPRCs involvement in the ARB-funded CSMCS study

held at Citrus College Glendora CA during the period August 12-21

1986 were met Using long pathlength differential optical absorption and

Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopic techniques the

ambient concentrations of N02 HONO HCHO HN03 NH3 and the N03 radical

were monitored in an essentially continuous mode throughout this study

period Since these data were obtained using absolute in-situ spectroshy

scopic methods they have served as benchmark data for the evaluation of

other more portable measurement methods for the determination of HCHO

and HN03 concentrations during the SCAQS carried out in 1987

Based upon the experimental methods used and ambient air concentshy

ration data obtained in our recent study at El Camino Conmtunity College

Torrance we were able to employ a complementary set of sampling techshy

niques to provide a comprehensive data set concerning the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of both volatile and non-volatile PAH and nitroshy

arenes during this study at Citrus College Ambient atmospheric concenshy

tration data were obtained for the following PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-

methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene

phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz(a)shy

anthracene chrysenetriphenylene and benzo(a)pyrene and the following

nitroarenes 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3- and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene The ambient concentrations of

the PAH cover a very large range (gt1000) with the most volatile PAH naphshy

thalene being the most abundant Indeed the naphthalene concentration

exceeded 1 ppb during the 12-hr nighttime period 2000-0800 PDT on August

20-21 and averaged 0 7 ppb (3700 ng m-3) over the entire study period

The next most abundant PAH were the 1- and 2-methylnaphthalenes with 2-

methylnaphthalene being about twice as abundant as 1-methylnaphthalene

The ambient concentrations of the PAH exhibited diurnal variations

with the concentrations generally being higher during the nighttime

sampling periods than during the daytime periods This diurnal variation

can most readily be seen for the volatile PAH which were sampled onto the

high and low flow Tenax cartridges and for which individual 12-hr analyses

were carried out This diurnal variation could in general be due to

VIII-1

differing daynight emission rates meteorology (with lower inversion

heights and hence higher concentrations during the nighttime periods

andor differing atmospheric removal rates due to chemical reactions The

observation (Table VI-1 that the magnitude of the diurnal variation

depended on the specific PAH with the largest variations being for the

most chemically reactive PAH indicates that part of this variation was

due to chemical removal of the PAH during daytime hours

The 2-3 ring PAH monitored using the Tenax cartridge system all react

with the OH radical during daylight hours (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and

Aschmann 1987b) with expected lifetimes due to this OH radical reaction

of approximately 3 days for biphenyl and fluorene and 2-12 hrs for the

other PAH The PAH naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene acenaphthene

acenaphthylene and phenanthrene also react to a lesser extent with N2o5bull

In addition acenaphthene and acenaphthylene also react with N03 radicals

(Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) bull These andor radical removalN2o5 N03 processes were likely to be of minor significance during this study since

the N03 radical (and hence N2o5) concentrations were low In addition

acenaphthylene reacts with Atkinson and Aschmann 1987b) with thiso3 removal process again being most important during daytime Interestingly

the ratio (average nighttime concentrationaverage daytime concentration)

correlates well with the OH radical reaction rate constant (which varies

from 7 x 10-12 cm3 molecule- 1 s-1 for biphenyl to 1 1 x 10-10 cm3 moleshy1cule-1 s- for acenaphthylene (Atkinson 1986 Atkinson and Aschmann

1987b) as shown by the plot in Figure VIII-1 This good correlation

confirms our expectation that daytime reaction with the OH radical is an

important atmospheric removal process for the PAH present in the gas

phase

The nitroarenes also exhibit a diurnal concentration profile as

shown in Figure VIII-2 which gives our earlier data from Torrance CA

(Winer et al 1987) as well as from Citrus College Again this observed

diurnal variation in the nitroarene concentrations can be due to differing

emission rates differing formation rates from their parent PAH during

transport through the atmosphere meteorology or differing removal rates

during daytime and nighttime periods Our data for the PAH (Figure VIII-1)

show that meteorology at Citrus College had a relatively minor effect of

the order of 20J (estimated from the intercept representing no OH radical

( reaction) on the daynight concentration ratio Further it is expected

(Atkinson et al 1987) that the atmospheric OH radical reactions of the

nitroarenes will be relatively slow Hence since 3-nitrobiphenyl is not

expected to be emitted and the daytimenighttime emission rates of the

nitronaphthalenes are not likely to vary significantly the observed difshy

ferences in the daynight concentration profiles for 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl strongly suggest differing formation rates

In particular our observation that the daytime concentrations of 3-nitroshy

biphenyl are always higher than the nighttime concentration ( in total

contrast to the situation for the PAH) shows that 3-nitrobiphenyl must be

made in the atmosphere during daytime hours Indeed we have shown from

laboratory studies (Atkinson et al 1987) that the daytime OH radical

reaction with biphenyl (the only significant atmospheric chemical removal

process for biphenyl) forms 3-nitrobiphenyl in approximately 5j yield

1- and 2-Nitronaphthalene are also formed from the reaction of OH radicals

with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) but these nitroarenes can also be

formed from the nighttime reaction of naphthalene with N2o5 (Atkinson et

al 1987)

In our previous study in Torrance CA (Winer et al 1987) N03 radicals were not present during nighttime hours and hence the N2o5 forshy

mation route to the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes was not operative and the

daytime concentrations of the 1- and 2-nitronaphthalenes and 3-nitroshy

biphenyl were higher than during the nighttime as expected from a daytime

formation pathway via OH radical reaction from their parent PAH In

contrast at Citrus College N03 radicals were observed on several

evenings and both daytime and nighttime formation of 1- and 2-nitronaphshy

thalene was hence possible (note that 3-nitrobiphenyl could only be formed

during the daytime) Indeed while the daytime 3-nitrobiphenyl concenshy

trations were higher than the nighttime concentrations the 1- and 2-

nitronaphthalene concentrations were as high or higher during the

nights Even more interesting is the observation that during daytime the

1- and 2-nitronaphthalene concentrations were comparable consistent with

the similar formation yields from the daytime OH radical-initiated reacshy

tions with naphthalene (Atkinson et al 1987) During nighttime however

the 1-nitronaphthalene concentrations were significantly higher than the

2-nitronaphthalene concentrations consistent with nighttime formation

VII I-5

from N2o5 reaction with naphthalene for which the 1- and 2-nitronaphthashy

lene yields are 15J and 7J respectively (Atkinson et al 1987

The ambient nitroarene concentrations also vary widely from compound

to compound and as with the PAH the most volatile nitroarenes are again

the most abundant Indeed as shown in Table VIII-1 the ambient atmosshy

pheric concentrations of 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene and 3-nitrobiphenyl

(measured at both Torrance (Winer et al 1987) and Citrus College are

comparable to the ambient concentrations of fluoranthene and (not shown)

pyrene and are generally an order of magnitude higher than the concenshy

trations of 2-nitrofluoranthene the most abundant particle-associated

nitroarene

As noted in previous sections of this report the PAH themselves are

not directly mutagenic in the Ames assay without microsomal activation

The ambient atmospheric concentrations of the particle-associated nitroshy

arenes (which are direct-acting mutagens when combined with their

mutagenic activities (Table VII-1) allow the ambient mutagenic densities

resulting from the nitrofluoranthenes and nitropyrenes (by far the most

abundant particle-associated nitroarenes to be calculated Table Vlll-2

gives the overall direct-acting mutagenic densities towards strain TA98

(-S9 calculated from our measured ambient concentrations of 2- 3- and

8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene for the six time-periods for

which data were obtained The mutagenic densities (rev m-3) calculated

from the measured ambient concentrations of these nitrofluoranthenes and

nitropyrenes ranged from approximately 1-9 rev m-3_ 2-Nitrofluoranthene

itself accounted for from 50-90J of this overall mutagenic density contrishy

buted by the nitroarenes of molecular weight 247

These calculated nitrofluoranthene and nitropyrene mutagen densities

account for typically 10J of the measured ambient mutagenicity It is

difficult to cite a definite numerical contribution of the nitrofluorshy

anthenes and nitropyrenes to ambient mutagenicity due to potential

problems in the Ames assay as discussed in Section VII above This 10J

figure for the contribution of the particle-associated nitroarenes to

ambient mutagenicity is consistent with the values given by Arey et al

(1988) and shows that the majority ie typically 90j of the mutagenishy

city of ambient POM is presently unaccounted for Ihis as yet unaccountshy

ed for direct-acting mutagenicity could be associated with other PAH-

VIII-6

( derivatives formed in the atmosphere during transport from source to

receptor or from other classes of organics Further work to attempt to

determine the identity of these other mutagens and their sources (direct

emissions versus atmospheric formation) is clearly necessary

In the Carbonaceous Soecies Mthoos Catparison Study in August 1986 at Citrus COllege Glendora CA the ambient concentrations of N~ HONO and HCHO were measured by long pathlength a1rrerent1a1 optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) Ambient concentrations of HNO]t NH3 and HCHO were measured by long patblength Fourier infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy Signiticant concentrations of these pollutants were observed with mixing rat1s ot up to approximately 140 45 30~ 20 and 15 parts-per-billion (ppb) for N02 HONO ~bull HCHO and NH3 respectively being determined

In addition allbient air samples were collected during 12-hr daytime and 12-hr nightshytime periods onto Tenax solid adsorbent polyurethane foam (PUF) plugs and Teflon-impregshynated glass fiber (TIGF) filters and these samples 1were analyzed for mutagenicity and gas- and particle-associat~d polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and nitroarenes The mutagen densities obtained were consistent with those measured previously in the South Coast Air Basin The following PAH and nitroarenes were observed and quantified naphthalene 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene biphenyl acenaphthene acenaphthylene fluorene phenanthrene anthracene dibenzothiophene fluoranthene pyrene benz ( a )anthracene chrysenetriphenylene benzo(a)pyrene 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene 3-nitrobiphenyl 2- 3-and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1- and 2-nitropyrene
