Abstract

The acidity of aerosol particles collected on Teflon membrane filters is analyzed by exposure to 14C labelled trimethylamine and by counting the resulting β-ray emission. An accurate calibration is established by the use of known, laboratory-generated sulfuric acid samples. For ambient aerosol samples, results from this new method compare favorably with results from a Gran titration procedure for acidity.
