Abstract

The availability of high time-resolution (1 s full spectrum scan) particle sizers permitted atmospheric researchers to scrutinize the characteristics of ultrafine particles in rapidly varying (perhaps, random) high concentration environments such as roadside, on-road, and tunnels. These data also revealed possible artifacts associated with the slower (∼30 s or more) scanning sizers when used in this kind of environment. This study discusses sampling rate artifact problems based on simulations using 1 s Engine Exhaust Particle Sizer data taken on a mobile platform.
