Positive sampling artifact of carbonaceous aerosols and its influence on the thermal-optical split of OC/EC

Accurate measurement of carbonaceous aerosols is challenging, due to the sampling artifact and the problems of the split of OC/EC. Two approaches have been used to account for the positive artifact: backup quartz approach in which a backup quartz filter is placed either behind a front quartz filter...
