Technical Note: On the effect of water-soluble compounds removal on EC quantification by TOT analysis in urban aerosol samples

In this work, three different thermal protocols were tested on untreated and water-washed aerosol samples to study the influence of soluble organic and inorganic compounds on EC measurements. Moreover, analyses on the water soluble extracts were carried out. The aim was to find out the most suitable...
