Popis: The performances of various filter media are determined relative to their use in collection of ambient sulfates. The effects of operational parameters and atmospheric variables on the collection of sulfates are investigated. Results show that sorption of ambient SO/sub 2/ by basic filter components can contribute to appreciable errors in apparent ambient sulfate levels. This interaction is affected by SO/sub 2/ concentration, relative humidity, and temperature. A chemical model relating the effects of these variables is presented.
