Modeling Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation from Fuel Combustion and Evaporation, Using Box Model and Primary and Secondary Source Apportionment of Fine Particulate Matter, Using PMF Receptor Model, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Hosseini, Vahid (Supervisor) ; Shamloo, Amir (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Focus of the present research is on the study and cognition of sources of carbonaceous compounds present in PM2.5, particularly secondary organic carbon. For this purpose, two different approaches were used. The first approach investigates the SOA formation from internal combustion engines exhaust and unburned fuel (bottom-up approach). The second approach studies the contribution of each of the primary and secondary sources to PM2.5 mass, whereby secondary organic carbon share is obtained (top-down approach). Modeling SOA formation from vehicles exhaust showed that diesel vehicles have greater SOA formation potential than gasoline vehicles, due to large amount of S/IVOCs present in their...
