We report a positive matrix factorization (PMF) analysis of organic particulate material (PM) emissions of aircraft engine exhaust that includes data from five different aircraft engines and two different fuels (petroleum jet fuel and a Fischer-Tropsch fuel) collected over three field missions. PMF of aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) data was used to identify six distinct factors: two lubrication oil factors, two aliphatic factors, an aromatic factor, and a siloxane factor. Of these, the lubrication oil factors and the siloxane factor were noncombustion sources. The siloxane factor was attributed to silicone tubing used in the sampling system deployed in one of the three missions included in this study, but not the other two. The two lubrication oil factors correlate with the two different lubrication oils used by the aircraft engines evaluated in this study (Mobil II and Air BP) as well as minor differences presumably due to variation in the blend stocks, temperature history, and analytical factors. Overall, the sum of the aliphatic and aromatic factors decreased with increasing power, as expected based on known trends in VOC emissions. The aliphatic #1 factor correlated with soot emissions, especially at power conditions where EIm-soot was greater than 30 mg kg?1. The aliphatic factor #2 mass spectrum shared some similarities with ambient aerosol organic PM present during the tests and correlated most strongly with dilution levels, two observations that suggest that aliphatic #2 contains components found in ambient aerosol. The aromatic factor correlated with benzene emissions, especially at low power conditions were EIm-benzene was greater than 0.03 mg kg?1. Our results improve the current understanding of aircraft PM composition. Copyright 2014 American Association for Aerosol Research [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
