Spatial and temporal variability of sources of ambient fine particulate matter (PM<sub>2.5</sub>) in California

To identify major sources of ambient fine particulate matter (PM<sub>2.5</sub>, dp < 2.5 &mu;m) and quantify their contributions in the state of California, a positive matrix factorization (PMF) receptor model was applied on Speciation Trends Network (STN) data, collected between...
