Popis: Four different artificial aerosol particles as well as one standard environmental aerosol particle (NIST SRM 1649a) were investigated. While the mass loss of the aerosol particles varies from 1.5 to 32% of the entire mass, only a small part of each volatile fraction consists of organic compounds. Due to the construction of the combined thermoanalytical system, only a small part of the evolved gases is used for the mass spectrometric investigation. This results in a restricted sensitivity which does not allow an identification of individual organic components. Additional investigations like thermal desorption GC-MS reveal up to 1600 individual components (SRM 1649a).
