Mobile Sources? Fossil

(Secondary)

Non-Fossil

14C analysis of carbonaceous aerosol

from Zotter et al. (J. Geophys. Res. 2014)

Bahreini et al. (GRL 2012)

Gasoline emissions dominate in LA

Gentner et al. (PNAS 2012)

Diesel emissions dominate in LA

Ensberg et al. (ACP 2014)

Other sources dominate, or

Research Objectives

(1) Identify chemical tracers for detecting VCP emissions in ambient air

Establishing D5-siloxane as a tracer of personal care product emissions

(2) Quantify VCP emissions in another US megacity: New York City

Field measurements of VOCs made in winter/summer of 2018

Are VCPs a larger fraction of anthropogenic VOCs in denser cities?

Methods to Quantify New York City VOC Emissions

(1) Quantify “bottom-up” VOC emissions using inventory methods

• Emissions = Activity * Emission Factor

(2) Estimate VOC/CO emission ratios for individual VOC species

• Controls for effects of atmospheric dilution on ambient concentration data

(3) Compare inventory with ambient VOC/CO field data

• Evaluate with ground site data at City College of New York

Summary of NYC VOC Field Measurements

(1) Quantified petrochemical VOC emissions for NYC using same methodology

as Los Angeles

• VCPs account for over half of the petrochemical VOC emissions in NYC

(2) Evaluated VOC inventory with ambient field measurements

• VCP emissions needed to explain ambient levels of VOCs (R2 ~ 0.94)

• Can explain ambient levels of chemical tracers for VCPs

Concluding Remarks

(1) Ambient measurements in New York City and Los Angeles indicate that

VCPs are ubiquitous and significant source of urban VOCs.

(2) Measurements of VCP markers now possible with advancements in VOC

instrumentation → improve confidence in emission inventories
