Aerosol Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (ATOFMS) Publications

 

The following list of publications has been arranged by topic chronologically to help scientists whom want to learn more about the capabilities of ATOFMS easily locate papers of interest. ATOFMS instruments have been used to perform on-line measurements of ambient particles in a wide variety of environments, including on research vessel platforms during international field campaigns (INDOEX, ACE-Asia). Measurements of particle composition and size made by ATOFMS have also provided valuable insights into aerosol transformation processes in both ambient and laboratory studies. Improvements to existing instruments and development of new instrumentation and data analysis methods are ongoing. Procedures for quantification of ATOFMS data and scaling detected ATOFMS particle types to atmospheric concentrations have been published. Comparison of source emission measurements to ambient data has permitted source apportionment of particle loadings. ATOFMS data has also been used as inputs to atmospheric chemistry models. Recently ATOFMS has seen increased use for the detection of bioaerosols. The ATOFMS has also been applied in characterizations of particles and particle concentrators used in aerosol health effects studies.

The ATOFMS was developed in the research laboratory of Prof. Kimberly Prather at the University of California at Riverside. Recently her research group moved to the University of California at San Diego. Three generations of in-house ATOFMS instruments have been developed. The first generation (“The Beast”) is a stationary and single-polarity instrument used for lab studies and instrument development. The second generation instruments (“Jake” & “Elwood”) are field transportable, dual-polarity instruments and Jake is typically configured with an aerodynamic lens for detection of ultrafine particles (UF-ATOFMS) from 50-300 nm. The third generation ATOFMS (“Laverne”) is also field transportable and dual-polarity and was the prototype for TSI’s commercial ATOFMS instrument, Model 3800. The commercially available ATOFMS is now available with an optional aerodynamic lens for detection of particles from 30-300 nm (Model 3800-030). The ATOFMS User’s Group maintained by TSI is another valuable source of information and contains an extensive publications list of particle mass spectrometry.

 

Listed below are publications based on measurements made with the in-house ATOFMS instruments in the Prather Group. Following those, publications based on results obtained by the commercial TSI ATOFMS, which are becoming more frequent, are listed. Some citations appear under multiple topic headings as they describe results that suit more than one topic.

As the number of papers published using results obtained with the commercial TSI ATOFMS continues to increase it is likely that some will be missed by us. If one of your publications is missing from the list below please tell us about it (rcsulliv@ucsd.edu).
