– Filterable PM 2.5 collected on a glass fiber filters and tissuquartz filters (for<br />

EC/OC analysis)<br />

– Condensable particulate matter (CPM) collected in a dry impinger train<br />

and on Teflon CPM filter.<br />

Glass fiber filters were pre- and post weighed.<br />

Impingers and <strong>the</strong> Teflon filter rinsed with water and solvent to collect CPM.<br />

The extracts were evaporated and <strong>the</strong> remaining residue (CPM) was<br />

weighed.<br />

EC/OC fraction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> PM 2.5 was determined using an OCEC Carbon<br />

Aerosol Analyzer (Sunset Laboratory) following NIOSH method 5040.<br />
