PM2.5 Particulate-Bound Organic Compound Analysis 

V-1 Background/Rationale 

A goal of the MATES III Study is to identify and quantify health risks associated with major 

known toxic air contaminants within the Basin over a two-year period. An important aspect of 

the MATES III Study was to identify and quantify diesel exhaust within collected PM2.5 samples. 

To do this, the MATES III Technical Advisory Group suggested the analysis of particulatebound organic compounds from MATES III PM2.5 samples. 

Diesel exhaust emissions are comprised of gaseous and particle phases. The gaseous phase 

contains typical combustion components which include carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, 

carbonyl compounds, and volatile hydrocarbons (Kirchstetter, 1999; Shah, 2005). Diesel 

particulate emissions occur primarily in the fine (PM2.5) region that consist of organic (OC) and 

elemental carbon (EC) fractions along with trace amounts of inorganic compounds (AbuAllaban, 2004; Lloyd, 2001). The OC fraction of diesel exhaust contains heavy hydrocarbons 

such as lubricating oils and PAHs with low volatility; the EC fraction is considered soot. 

Unfortunately, no physical property clearly distinguishes between the OC and EC fractions; 

therefore, measurements of EC/OC from particulate samples are defined by the method of 

analysis. Typical methods of analysis characterize OC from EC by thermal, optical or solventbased properties (Moosmuller, 2001; Fermo, 2006). Solvent-based extraction techniques define 

organic carbon as the extractable mass within the solvent, and the carbon remaining on the filter 

is characterized as EC. Thermal methods (IMPROVE, NIOSH, TMO) are the most widely used 

for the analysis of EC and OC collected upon particulate samples. These methods utilize 

temperature changes within reducing and oxidizing atmospheres to distinguish between EC and 

OC. Optical-based techniques are typically real-time particle measurements based upon optical 

absorption and/or particle scattering. Each method does not yield directly comparable results 

(Chow, 2001). 

The presence of high levels of EC within diesel exhaust is a unique property of this combustion 

source. The concentration of diesel exhaust during MATES II was estimated by applying a 

factor of 1.04 to the EC concentration measured for 24-hour PM10 filter samples. A factor of 

1.04 was determined from diesel source profiles and fine particle samples collected upon PM2

samples in 1982 (Gray, 1986). From this 1982 study it was determined an average of 67% of 

elemental carbon mass in the Los Angeles atmosphere comes from diesel engine exhaust, and 

diesel exhaust has an average of 64% elemental carbon (67%/64% = 1.04) (MATES II Final 

Report, 2000). Applying a factor of 1.04 to measured EC concentrations may have 

underestimated the concentration of diesel exhaust for MATES II. The 1998 PM2.5 emissions 

inventory suggested a factor of 1.39 might have been more appropriate (MATES II Final Report, 

2000, pgs. 9-15). 

Using elemental carbon measurements solely to determine diesel emissions does not provide 

information on contributions of EC from other sources or address how much organic carbon is 

associated with these sources. Other sources of elemental carbon may include automobile 

exhaust, meat charbroiling, biomass burning, coal burning, and fuel oil (ship emissions). 
MATES III Final Report

Appendix V-2 

Emissions from these sources are often seasonally dependent and may have different spatial 

emissions within the Basin (Magliano, 1999; Reinhart, 2006). For instance, during colder winter 

months an increase in residential wood burning would be expected (Jordan, 2006; Fine, 2004). 

Determining sources of elemental and organic carbon may be done using particulate-bound 

organic compounds and metals that act as tracers to identify and apportion contributing sources. 

This technique relies upon updated source profiles of major sources and reconciles sources using 

chemical mass balance. The apportionment of other similar sources of elemental carbon such as 

automobile exhaust allows for both the elemental and organic carbon concentration of diesel 

exhaust to be estimated. (Christoforou, 2000; Fraser, 2002; Shah, 2004). Analyzing for organic 

compounds, metals and elemental carbon upon collected particulate samples, in conjunction with 

source profiles, can provide specific information to determine contributing sources. For 

instance, the analysis of levoglucosan provides a specific indicator of cellulose combustion from 

wood burning (McDonald, 2000; Fine, 2004). Several receptor source reconciliation studies 

have been conducted using particulate-bound organics, metal, and elemental carbon analysis in 

conjunction with a chemical mass balance model (Watson, 1998; Schauer, 2000; Schauer, 2002; 

Zheng, 2002; Chow, 2007). Notably this source apportionment technique was applied to PM10

filter samples collected in 1995 as part of the Southern California Children’s Health Study 

(Manchester-Neesvig, 2003). 

V-2 Work Plan 

From the MATES III Technical Advisory Group’s recommendation, a work plan was established 

to analyze for particulate-bound organic compounds within the MATES III collected PM2.5

filters samples. Through the SCAQMD’s procurement procedure, a contract was awarded to 

Desert Research Institute (DRI) for the analysis of 75 particulate-bound organic compounds 

(Table V-1). A contract laboratory was facilitated for this analysis due to highly specific 

standards and equipment needed. To provide sufficient quantities of organic material, monthly 

composite samples were made for each of the MATES III fixed sampling locations. Additional 

Wednesday and Sunday monthly composite samples were also analyzed for particulate-bound 

organics. 

V-2-1 Sample Handling 

The MATES III PM2.5 samples were collected upon 47 mm quartz, Teflon, and vinyl filters using 

a Met One SASS through four sampling channels for a 24-hour sample period every third day. 

The quartz filters were used for EC/OC analysis and for the analysis of particulate-bound organic 

compounds. Upon collection from the field, the PM2.5 quartz samples are individually sealed 

within plastic bags, transferred to the laboratory in coolers, and stored under freezing 

temperatures. Storage of collected quartz filter samples under freezing conditions has been 

shown to maintain the integrity of the particulate-bound organics for an indefinite period 

(Schauer, 1996). Prior to the analysis of particulate-bound organics, the quartz samples were 

analyzed for EC and OC using the IMPROVE method, which required the removal of two or 

three 5 mm circular pieces of filter sample (Chow, 1993). During this analysis the filters are 

removed from the storage freezer and placed within a portable cooler. Upon completion of the 

EC/OC analysis, the filters were made into monthly station composites and sent to DRI for the 

analysis of particulate-bound organics. Samples were shipped under freezing conditions using a 

portable cooler with overnight delivery. Upon receipt by DRI, the samples were logged into the 
MATES III Final Report

Appendix V-3 

Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). If the time span between sample login 

and extraction was greater than 24 hours, the samples were stored in a freezer. 

V-2-2 Compositing Filter Samples 

To obtain sufficient material needed for organic analyses, PM2.5 filter samples collected at each 

of the monitoring sites were made into composite samples on a monthly basis. Composite 

samples were made after analysis had been completed for EC/OC. A composite sample was 

made by leaving each individual filter sealed in a plastic bag and placing the sealed filter within 

a labeled larger plastic bag with other samples from the appropriate month and sample location. 

Once a composite sample has been prepared, each individual filter was re-checked to ensure its 

proper location within the monthly composite. Filters within the composite were compared to 

ensure each filter had the same number of 5 mm samples removed during EC/OC analysis. If 

needed, filters within the composite were adjusted by removing a 5 mm punch from filters; 

therefore, all filters within the composite had identical punches removed. Each monthly 

composite sample is identified by sample location/month/year. For example, the monthly 

composite collected at Burbank in October 2005 is identified as BK10_2005. A list of composite 

samples analyzed for particulate-bound organic compounds is shown in Table V-2. 

An additional set of Wednesday/Sunday PM2.5 filter samples was analyzed for particulate-bound 

organic compounds. During this sampling, a four-channel PTEP sampler simultaneously 

collected three quartz and one Teflon PM2.5 filter. The quartz filters were made into composites 

by location/month/day/year. For example, a composite consisting of samples collected on 

Sundays at West Long Beach in October 2004 is identified as WL10S04. For a given month of 

sampling, each location has a separate set of composite samples based upon day of collection, 

one composite for Wednesday and one for Sunday. One difference between the 

Wednesday/Sunday composites with the monthly station composites was the use of a PTEP 

sampler instead of a Met One SASS. 

V-2-3 Analysis 

A description of the analysis of particulate-bound organic compounds conducted by DRI is 

described below. 

For each composite sample, the quartz filters were extracted and analyzed together. Prior to 

extraction, a set of deuterated internal standards, as listed in Table V-3, were added to each 

sample. The amount of internal standards added should correspond to the expected range of 

concentrations found in real samples and the final volume of extracts during analysis. Filters 

were extracted with ~170 ml dichloromethane (DCM) using the Dionex ASE (accelerated 

solvent extractor) for 15 min/cell at 1500 psi and 80°C followed by ~170 ml acetone extraction 

under the same conditions. Extracts were concentrated to ~1 ml by rotary evaporation at 35°C 

under gentle vacuum, and filtered through a 0.2 μm PTFE disposable filter (Whatman Pura 

discTM 25TF), rinsing the flask 3 times with 1 ml dichloromethane and acetone (50/50 by 

volume) each time. Filtrate was collected in a 4 ml amber glass vial for a total volume of ~4 ml. 

Approximately 200 μl of acetonitrile was added at this time and the extract was split into two 

fractions. Each fraction was then concentrated under a gentle stream of ultra-high purity (UHP) 

nitrogen with hydrocarbon and water traps to 100 μl. The final extract volume is adjusted to 100 

μl with acetonitrile.

Appendix V-4 

One fraction was analyzed by the GC/MS method for PAH, hopanes/steranes, alkanes, and 

cycloalkanes, as described below. If necessary (in case of very dirty samples), the extracts were 

pre-cleaned by the solid-phase extraction technique, using Superclean LC-SI SPE cartridges 

(Supelco) with sequential elution with hexane, and hexane/benzene (1:1). The hexane fraction 

contains the nonpolar aliphatic hydrocarbons (alkanes), and hopanes and steranes, and the 

hexane/benzene fraction contains the PAH. These two fractions were combined and 

concentrated to ~100 μl and analyzed by GC/MS technique. The second fraction was derivatized 

using a mixture of bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide and pyridine to convert the polar 

compounds into their trimethylsilyl derivatives for analysis of organic acids and diacids, 

cholesterol, methoxyphenols, and levoglucosan. The extract was reduced to a volume of 50 μl 

using a Pierce Reacti-Therm under a gentle stream of ultra-high purity (UHP) nitrogen with a 

water trap (Chrompack CP-Gas-Clean moisture filter 17971). Then, 50 μl of silylation grade 

pyridine and 150 μl of bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide was added slowly to each vial and 

immediately capped. The sample was then placed into thermal plates (custom made) containing 

individual vial wells with the temperature maintained at 70°C for three hours. The samples were 

then analyzed by GC/MS within 18 hours. 

The extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) using a Varian 

CP-3800 GC equipped with a CP8400 auto sampler and interfaced to a Varian Saturn 2000 Ion 

Trap (Batch 1 of samples) or Varian 4000 Ion Trap (all remaining Batches) operating in electron 

impact (EI) ionization mode. Injections (1 μl) were made in the split less mode onto a 30 m long 

5% phenylmethylsilicone fused-silica capillary column (DB-5ms, J&W Scientific or equivalent). 

Quantification of the individual compounds was obtained by selective ion storage (SIS) 

technique, monitoring the molecular and characteristic ions of each compound of interest and the 

corresponding deuterated internal standard ions. Since hopanes and steranes are usually present 

in very low concentrations in ambient PM2.5 samples, a new Varian 1200 triple quadrupole gas 

chromatograph – mass spectrometer (GC/MS/MS) system was used for these compounds 

quantification. The superior selectivity and sensitivity of this instrument (in EI/MS SIM mode it 

reaches 50 fg/μl with 10:1 S/N) allows for accurate analysis of compounds present in very low 

concentrations. 

Calibration curves for the GC/MS quantification were made for the most abundant and 

characteristic ion peaks of the compounds of interest (Table V-1) using the deuterated species 

most closely matched in volatility and retention characteristics as internal standards. For PAH, 

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Material (SRM) 

1647 (certified PAH) with the addition of deuterated internal standards and of those compounds 

not present in the SRM was used to make calibration solutions. For hopanes/steranes, the 

calibration mixture obtained from NIST and prepared by Chiron AS, Norway, was used. For 

alkanes and cycloalkanes, the calibration solutions are made from the authentic standards 

purchased from Aldrich, Accustandard, and Chiron AS. For polar compounds, a separate 

calibration mixture is prepared using the authentic compounds purchased from various sources 

(i.e. Aldrich Inc., Accustandard, Chiron AS, and others) and derivatized the same way as 

described above, just before the analysis. A six- to eight-level calibration is performed for each 

compound of interest and the calibration check (using median calibration standards) is run every 

10 samples to check for accuracy of analyses. If the relative accuracy of measurement (defined 

as a percent difference from the standard value) is less than 20%, the instrument is recalibrated. 

Field blanks and media blanks were analyzed by the same method as actual samples.

Approximately 10% of the extracts were run as duplicate analysis, to determine the replicate 

precision. Field blanks were extracted and analyzed using the same methods.
