Clues for a standardised thermal-optical protocol for the assessment of organic and elemental carbon within ambient air particulate matter

Along with some research networking programmes, the European Directive 2008/50/CE requires chemical speciation of fine aerosol (PM<sub>2.5</sub>), including elemental (EC) and organic carbon (OC), at a few rural sites in European countries. Meanwhile, the thermal-optical technique is con...
