Mexico City Municipal Area Air pollution Study, 2003
EMSL Project ID
3386
Abstract
This study is part of a larger international monitoring effort, to take place for 6 weeks, in and near Mexico City. The project is to examine air pollution factors, including particulates and trace gases. PNNL instruments atthe site will include the PTMS (Proton Transfer Mass Spectrometer), the TRAC (Time Resolved Aerosol Monitor), the AMS (Aerosol Mass Spectrometer), and nephelometer. Monitoring will occur in the field during March and April. Analysis of the results will include MIT people visiting PNNL.
