Deliverables

Deliverable 1.1. Guidelines for real-time chemical characterization of fine atmospheric aerosols (standard operating procedure) and ACSM calibration, as output of the intercomparison exercises and experience gained during the course of the Action. Document released May2021.
Deliverable 1.2. Guidelines for comparison of ACSM data with external data, such as Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS), on-line instrumentation for inorganic ion concentrations measurements, or off-line chemical composition data. These guidelines may include specific procedures to be directly implemented into the software used for ACSM measurements. Document released Dec2019.

Deliverable 2.1. Guidelines for organic aerosol source apportionment.
Deliverable 2.2. Publication of best practices for source apportionment of organic aerosols based on mass spectra datasets in a peer-reviewed journal like Atmospheric Measurement Techniques.

Deliverable 3.1. Standard operating procedures and good practices guidelines for black carbon instrumentation. Published as scientific papers:
