Quantifying biogenic and anthropogenic contributions to acetone mixing ratios in a rural environment Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Acetone was one of the most abundant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, USA. Mixing ratios were measured hourly above a ponderosa pine plantation using an automated in situ dual-channel GC-FID system throughout July 1997 and from July through October 1998. Acetone mixing ratios ranged from 1.4 to 7.8 ppb in July 1997, 1.1 to 7.8 ppb in July 1998, and 1.0 to 8.0 ppb in July 1999, and were correlated with compounds of biogenic and anthropogenic origin.
