Evaluation of Bias in the Measurement of Condensable Particulate Matter with Method 202 by Yu-Mei Huang, Sheng-Hsiu Huang, Chih-Wei Lin, Hsi-Hsien Yang, Chih-Chieh Chen

“…The results revealed that our homemade condensate-diverting impinger could neither eliminate nor reduce the artifacts produced by SO2, as the SO2 had already oxidized by the time it passed through the Graham condenser and interacted with water. Since the residence time, condensate volume, and oxygen content can all exacerbate the overestimation of CPM, field sampling should be performed as quickly as possible. …”
